In Brief
A clinical study evaluating MASC for Alzheimer Disease and Related Dementias and Dementia Alzheimers. Completed, enrolled 13 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Building on limitations of prior research, the investigators proposed to develop the Mindful and Self-Compassionate Care Program (MASC) to help caregivers of persons with Alzheimer Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) manage stress associated with the general caregiver experience including stress stemming from managing challenging patient behaviors. MASC teaches: (1) mindfulness skills; (2) compassion and self-compassion skills; and (3) behavioral management skills. MASC also provides psychoeducation and group-based training and skill practice to facilitate skill uptake and integration within the caregiver experience and tasks.
