AB - Objective: In Korea, there is a lack of studies on interventions for caregivers of people with dementia. The aim ofthis systematic review was to examine randomized controlled trial studies about interventions for caregivers ofpeople with dementia conducted outside Korea.
Methods: This systematic review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for systematic reviewsand meta-analyses(PRISMA) guideline. Database searches were done through PubMed, Medline(ProQuest),EBSCOhost(CINAHL Plus with full text), and PsycINFO. A total of 8 studies were included in this review. Each ofthe included studies was assessed for the quality using the PEDro Scale.
Results: Interventions of the included studies involved home visits(4 studies), telephone counseling(2 studies),education(1 study), and meditation(1 study). Those studies were effective in improving caregivers’depression,stress, and quality of life.
Conclusion: Since the included studies of this review were conducted in foreign countries, some interventions maynot be suitable for caregivers in Korea and the results may not be generalizable to Korean caregivers of peoplewith dementia. Studies about interventions for caregivers of people with dementia should be actively conducted inKorea. In particular, further studies about interventions by occupational therapists who are the experts in activityanalysis, task simplification, and environmental modifications are needed.
