dc.description.abstractThe current study sought to pilot test and examine the effects of an integrative stress reduction program (ISRP) on caregiver stress and sleep quality and behav-ioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) of care recipients. Family caregivers (N = 12) of persons with moderate to severe dementia were recruited from memory clinics in Thailand. Twelve caregivers participated in five educational sessions on dementia care, stress, and BPSD management over 4 weeks. The Rela-tive Stress Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were used to measure care-giver outcomes. The Neuropsychiatric Inventory was used to measure BPSD of care recipients. Outcome variables were collected at baseline, postintervention, and follow up. Data were analyzed using one-way repeated measures analysis of vari-ance. Participants reported statistically decreased stress, improved sleep quality, and decreased BPSD among care recipients postintervention and at follow up (all p < 0.001). The ISRP was feasible and shows promise in reducing stress and improv-ing sleep quality in caregivers and lessening BPSD in care recipients.
