SAGE-LEAF: Reducing Burden in Alzheimer's Disease Caregivers Through Positive Emotion Regulation and Virtual Support
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating SAGE LEAF for Alzheimer Disease. Completed, enrolled 15 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of the proposed study, is to adapt a positive emotion intervention for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) caregivers into a self-guided online format that incorporates social connection components and adaptive system feedback mechanisms to promote intervention adherence. Previous tests of the facilitated version of the program, called SAGE-LEAF (Social Augmentation to self-Guided Electronic delivery of the Life Enhancing Activities for Family caregivers), have shown efficacy for improving well-being in dementia caregivers. If effective, the SAGE-LEAF program can be disseminated to Alzheimer's caregivers nationwide through AD treatment and research centers.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
SAGE LEAF covers 8 skills and each skill has related home-practice activities that "unlock" every week. Each week will consist of 1-2 days of didactic material and 5-6 days of real-life home practice. Participants can access the skills at their own leisure and as often as they'd like within that week. Participants cannot skip modules with didactic material and can only progress to the next lesson if they have completed the current one. However, participants can return to old lessons or exercises if they choose to do so at a later time.
