Abstract:
This review aimed to identify the available online interventions for family carers of people living with dementia and how effective they are when upskilling carers in how to support activities of daily living. Six databases were searched, and 10 articles with six online programmes were identified. Articles used an RCT design, a mixed approach, and a pre-post test design. Data were synthesised using a convergent integrated approach for mixed-methods reviews. Three overarching themes were identified, focusing on accessibility of the programme, the content and information provided, and the outcomes for the carer and the person with dementia. Online interventions with useful content for family carers of people with dementia are easy to access. However, this did not translate into carers' outcomes, where mixed results were found. No positive findings were reported for people with dementia in terms of social participation, autonomy or self-management abilities. Development of future online interventions should consider integrating carers' competence, skills and knowledge alongside daily activities to provide a comprehensive approach when training family carers.
