Phase N/A
Effect of Cognitive Empathy Training on Dementia Caregivers

The study looks at how teaching caregivers empathy helps them feel better and stay healthy. Caregivers often feel stressed because they take care of people with dementia, like Alzheimer's disease, which affects memory and thinking. This stress can make them feel sad and get sick easily. The study wants to see if empathy training can help caregivers fight stress, stay healthy, and understand the feelings of people they care for. Researchers will also explore how empathy training works in the brain. Over 11 million family members care for loved ones with dementia, and this study could help them feel better and give better care.

  • Participation requires living with a person with dementia.
  • This study might help improve caregivers' mental health and immune system.
  • No history of seizures or severe mental health issues is allowed.
