Psychological Counseling Program for Alzheimer's Patients' Caregivers
This trial is testing a structured psychological counseling program designed for people who care for Alzheimer's patients. Researchers want to know whether the program reduces stress and care burden, and improves psychological well-being in caregivers. It is a Phase NA randomized controlled study, meaning it is evaluating real-world effectiveness of a support program rather than a drug or device. Eighty caregivers will be split into two groups: one receives the counseling, one does not.
