Abstract

Objective: This study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral group therapy on guilt feeling among family caregivers of patients with Alzheimer's disease.Methods: This research was a quasi-experimental study where in the pre-test and post-test control group design was employed.The statistical population of this study consisted of the female family caregivers of the Alzheimer's patients who were referred to the Iran Alzheimer's Association in 2012.Among this population, 32 volunteers were selected via convenience sampling method and were then randomly assigned into two experimental and control groups.The participants of both groups filled in the guilt feeling questionnaire and caregiver guilt questionnaire in both the pre-test and post-test phases.The therapy program lasted for 14 sessions.Multivariate regression analysis and covariance analysis were used to analyze the data. Results:The results showed that the levels of overall guilt and caregiver guilt had significantly decreased in the experimental group after the exposure of this group to cognitive-behavioral group therapy as compared to the pre-test and control group (P<0.01). Conclusion:Based on the findings of this study, cognitive-behavioral group therapy was found to reduce the overall guilt and caregiver guilt among the family caregivers of Alzheimer's patients.This therapeutic method is recommended as a cost-effective treatment to be used by family caregivers of Alzheimer's patients.

  • Only one published study appears to have analyzed the efficacy of a psychological intervention (CBT) for reducing caregivers' guilt feelings.

    The Abstract and Results report that this study tested cognitive-behavioral group therapy and found reduced guilt among family caregivers of people with Alzheimer’s disease. The Discussion calls it the first such investigation in that specific population, but does not establish that it was the only published psychological-intervention study of caregivers’ guilt more generally. (LLM, conf=0.82)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • The results of that study showed a reduction in guilt feelings at posttreatment and follow-up.

    “The results showed a reduction in guilt feelings at posttreatment and follow-up.”

    From Pilot study of a psychotherapeutic intervention for reducing guilt feelings in highly distressed dementia family caregivers (Innovative practice). (2021) · cites this paper as Mahmoudi, Mohammadkhani, Bonan, & Bagheri, 2017

    The Results (Section 3) report reduced guilt at post-test. Table 1 lists a lower follow-up mean for caregiver guilt, but the Discussion (Section 4) explicitly says a follow-up phase was unavailable due to time constraints. The paper therefore does not clearly support a follow-up finding. (LLM, conf=0.87)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Few interventions have been designed to help caregivers with guilt feelings.

    “Many caregivers of people with dementia experience guilt but few interventions have been deigned to help them with these feelings.”

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.
