Abstract:
Approximately 10% of older Americans with dementia experience depression. Based on life review depression intervention, we developed the Caregiver-Provided Life Review (C-PLR), trained Asian (n = 15) and White (n = 25) caregivers, and delivered life reviews to their loved ones with mild depressive symptoms and early-stage dementia. This mixed-methods study found that both Asian and White care recipients' depressive symptoms decreased (Asian: p = 0.0006. White: p = 0.034). Caregivers felt the life review process positive and made them closer to their care recipients. The C-PLR intervention appeared feasible, and C-PLR may be a successful non-pharmaceutical intervention for people with mild depressive symptoms and early-stage dementia.
