Enhancing Caregiver Health: The Role of Psychoeducational and Exercise Interventions in Stress Management and Coping Among Dementia Family Caregivers
Culturally tailored psychoeducation may improve cardiovascular risk and stress outcomes in Black dementia caregivers. The added exercise component did not yield additional benefits, suggesting the need for alternative strategies to enhance physical activity in this population. Future research should explore longer-duration interventions and ways to support exercise adherence within the context of caregiving.
