E-Tailored Pain Management Support for Dementia Family Caregivers: Feasibility of the PACE-app
This study tests a web-based tool called the PACE-app, designed to help family caregivers manage pain in a loved one with dementia. Researchers will measure whether caregivers find it usable, and whether it boosts their confidence, communication with providers, and well-being. It is an early feasibility study with no phase, so it checks practicality first, not proof it works.
You may qualify if
- Be a primary caregiver - (a family member, relative, or friend) of a person with dementia (or cognitive impairment) and chronic pain (lasting >3 months)'
- Be responsible for managing the care recipient's pain and pain treatments (including interpreting verbal or non-verbal pain communication).
- Be age 18 - 100.
- Be able to read and speak English.
- Have regular access to an electronic device (tablet, laptop, or computer) with internet connectivity (for using the app and participating in data collection).
- Be accessible by phone or email to schedule meetings.
- Be willing to commit to the full study duration and protocol.
You're excluded if
- Currently participating in another research study that could interfere with this intervention.
