Life Review Intervention Delivered by Family Caregivers of People Living with Dementia Improves Depression: A Mixed-Methods Study
Training family caregivers to conduct life reviews may be an acceptable and cost-effective way to improve depressive symptoms among people living with dementia while improving caregiver experiences. C-PLR seems to be an easy and convenient depression intervention for people living with dementia in terms of delivery method, delivery setting, delivery schedule, and delivery cost, and thus, has the potential to reach a wide range of participants.
