  • Literature review on Alzheimer's care interventions.
  • Focus groups with family caregivers of Alzheimer's patients.

Main Results:

  • Family members develop practical intervention knowledge through hands-on care.
  • Nutrition and safety emerge as key, manageable domains for daily caregiver influence.
  • Caregivers report increased confidence in managing specific aspects of Alzheimer's care.

Conclusions:

  • Family caregivers acquire essential intervention skills during the Alzheimer's caregiving journey.
  • Targeted support in nutrition and safety can empower caregivers to significantly impact daily patient well-being.
  • Further research should explore structured training programs for these specific care domains.
