The Effects of Cognitive Behavioral Approach-Based Psychoeducation on Caregivers of Alzheimer's Patients
Sponsor: Pamukkale University
Summary
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive and chronic neurocognitive disorder. Individuals who assume the role of primary caregivers and are responsible for meeting the care needs of the patient often develop serious health problems over time. It is particularly important to assess the psychological resilience of those who struggle to manage the caregiving process, to identify ruminative thoughts developed in response to negative experiences, and ultimately to determine the presence of post-traumatic growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)-based psychoeducational interventions are highly effective in the holistic assessment and support of primary caregivers.

Cognitive Behavioral Approach-Based Psychoeducation
The 'Socio-Demographic Characteristics Form', the 'Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory', the 'Psychological Resilience Scale for Adults', and the 'Event-Related Rumination Inventory' will be administered to individuals in both the intervention and control groups. No intervention will be applied to the control group. For the intervention group, psychoeducation groups based on the cognitive behavioral approach will be formed for the primary caregivers. Eight face-to-face sessions, each lasting 60 to 90 minutes, will be conducted
