Interventions
E-bibliotherapy
Participants in the intervention group will accept eight weekly sessions of e-bibliotherapy. The e-bibliotherapy will be delivered via the e-bibliotherapy app we develop and includes eight e-bibliotherapy sessions, each focusing on one active component that may affect a caregiver's mental well-being.
Control
The control group will give access to the same e-bibliotherapy app, but only be authorized to access general daily living knowledge that is different from the intervention contents. They will also be asked to finish a session each week for eight weeks.
