The Existential Cognitive Intervention to Enhance Positive Aspect of Caregiving (EXCITE-PAC) in a Dementia Context
This trial tests a structured psychological program called EXCITE-PAC designed to help family caregivers of people living with dementia find more meaning and positive experience in their caregiving role. It is not testing a drug — it combines cognitive behavioral tools and existential psychology delivered over 12 weeks. Researchers will measure depression, quality of life, and self-efficacy. This is a pilot randomized controlled trial, meaning it is an early-stage test of whether the approach works.
You may qualify if
- family carers of Chinese PLwDs diagnosed at least six months previously
- caregiving for ≥ 4 hours/day
- Chinese-speaking
- have a mobile device to access virtual meeting via Go-To-Meeting or Zoom
- consent to participate
