Summary

The proposed project seeks to develop an online self-directed learning (SDL) intervention program that seeks to improve caregiving and self-care skills among ethnic Chinese dementia caregivers. The benefits of such a product may include improved psychological health in caregivers and a reduction in behavioral disturbances among elderly care recipients with dementia.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Intervention

SDL intervention employs a comprehensive engagement design that includes seven innovative strategies: 1) customization of content of the training curriculum to fit individual learner's needs; 2) tailoring the length of trainings by using short video clips to allow caregivers flexibility in completing the curriculum; 3) using an instructional format (SCHOLAR) designed to maximize active learning during each training lesson; 4) progress tracking to help the learner stay focused and motivated; 5) a recommendation algorithm that facilitates the learner's transition from one training topic to the next; 6) behavioral economics-based messages, to re-engage the learner if he/she stops participating

BEHAVIORAL

Control

Participants in the control group will be invited to a comparable online training course consisting of all of our training video clips, without the interactive engagement design features. These represent standard video training based on evidence-based content.
