A Guided Eight-week Online Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Intervention for Distressed Family Caregivers of People With Dementia: A Mixed-methods Pilot Study
The pilot study conducted by the University of Alabama at Birmingham explores the feasibility and preliminary effects of an online ACT intervention for distressed family caregivers of individuals with dementia. With the increasing prevalence of dementia and the associated caregiver burden, this intervention addresses a significant unmet need in mental health support for caregivers. The results could inform future larger-scale studies and potential commercialization of ACT-based digital health solutions. The market for caregiver support services is growing, and successful outcomes may position the sponsoring institution or collaborators favorably against competitors in the mental health and caregiver support sectors.
