| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study was to develop two psychosocial intervention programs (for older people with mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia and family caregivers with demented relatives), and to examine the safety and effectiveness. In this study, we were able to develop two programs and to conduct two intervention studies for the 15 elderly and 10 caregivers. As a result, the interventions enabled them to improve their depressive mood and quality of life. Additionally, there was no adverse event during the interventions and the participant’s satisfaction levels of two programs were high. Finally, we were able to contact with two researchers in the United Kingdom who developed a psychosocial program for family caregivers with demented relatives, called “START”, which we adopted it as our intervention for family caregivers, and to receive their guidance and to build forward-looking relationships with them for our future collaborative works.
