Personalised caregiver support: effectiveness of psychosocial interventions in subgroups of caregivers of people with dementia
Abstract
Objective: Insight into the characteristics of caregivers for whom psychosocial interventions are effective is important for care practice. Until now no systematic reviews were conducted into the effectiveness of psychosocial interventions for caregiver subgroups. Methods: To gain insight into this relationship between caregiver subgroups and intervention outcomes, a first review study was done. This study reviews the personal characteristics of caregivers of people with dementia for whom psychosocial interventions were effective. Results: Electronic databases and key articles were searched for reviews on psychosocial interventions for caregivers studies published between January 1990 and February 2008. Based on these reviews, twenty‐six studies met the inclusion criteria (i.e. having positive outcomes described in subgroups). Most positive effects were found in caregivers of people with a diagnosis of ‘dementia not otherwise specified’ and in the subgroup of female caregivers. Examples of outcomes were decreased depression and improved self‐efficacy. Conclusions: This study gives a first overview of successful psychosocial interventions in subgroups of caregivers of people with dementia. It makes clear that until now, relatively little research has been done into subgroups of these caregivers. It also suggests that more research is needed to better understand which psychosocial interventions are effective for specific subgroups of caregivers of people with dementia.

The small sample size limited our ability to investigate possible individual differences such as severity of dementia, living status, and the relationship to the individual with dementia.
“This limited our ability to investigate possible individual differences such as severity of dementia, living status, and the relationship to the individual with dementia, all of which may influence individuals' responsiveness to an intervention [36].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
