Hong Kong274 participantsStarted 2024-12-19

Plain-language summary

The goal of this study is to learn if a new online training program is helpful to dementia family caregivers. This online program is fully computerized and supports 24/7 access from any location. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the training program improves the participants' well-being and sense of positive meaning? * If the program is found to be helpful, does it work through enhancing caregivers' self-belief or getting them to practice positive interpretation of caregiving challenges? To answer these questions, researchers will compare the online program to a waitlist control. Participants will: * Use the intervention (requiring internet access) in a self-guided manner * Respond to brief questionnaires at the beginning, and 1, 2 and 3 months afterwards
