Effectiveness of Group Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy on Strategies for Coping With Stress of Family Caregivers of Patients With Alzheimer’s Disease

Objectives: Alzheimer&rsquo;s disease is a progressive and degenerative disease of the brain that severely damages&nbsp;the thinking and memory functions of human beings. This disease is the most common form of dementia,&nbsp;which comprises a set of signs and symptoms such as loss of memory, judgment, and reasoning that subsequently&nbsp;changes the attitude, behavior, and communication ability.&nbsp;Taking care of people with Alzheimer&rsquo;s disease can become very stressful for their families. Group cognitivebehavioral&nbsp;therapy has played an important role in teaching how to use compatible coping strategies. Thus,&nbsp;this research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of group cognitive-behavioral therapy on strategies for&nbsp;coping with stress of family caregivers of patients with Alzheimer&rsquo;s disease. Methods & Materials: This research was conducted using a quasi-experimental design. The study sample comprised&nbsp;32 voluntary caregivers as per Iran's Alzheimer Community Care in 2011. They were selected by convenience&nbsp;sampling method and were randomly assigned into experimental and control groups. We used the&nbsp;questionnaire of coping inventory with stressful situations (CISS), which was completed before group therapy&nbsp;and after the treatment course in 3 stages of pretest, posttest, and follow-up. Data analysis was performed by&nbsp;analysis of covariance, multivariate analysis of covariance, and repeated measures. Results: The results showed that the components of compatible strategies (problem-oriented and social entertainment)&nbsp;in the experimental group were significantly increased compared to pretest and control group due&nbsp;to cognitive-behavioral therapy (P=0.001). However, the components of incompatible strategies (emotionoriented&nbsp;and attention processing) due to cognitive-behavioral therapy was significantly decreased in the experimental&nbsp;group compared to the pretest and control group (P=0.001). The results of repeated measuring&nbsp;plan between 3 stages of pretest, posttest, and follow-up showed that the effects of cognitive-behavioral&nbsp;therapy on increasing compatible coping style (problem-oriented and social entertainment) and decreasing incompatible coping style (emotion-oriented and attention processing) as well as the effect of intergroup actions&nbsp;and repetition were significant. There was also a significant difference between experimental group and&nbsp;control group. With regard to the above-mentioned results, cognitive-behavioral group therapy could have&nbsp;significant effects on increasing use of coping strategies with compatible stress and decreasing use of coping&nbsp;strategies with incompatible stress in the family members of Alzheimer&rsquo;s patients. Moreover, the time factor&nbsp;was ineffective in lowering the effect of cognitive-behavioral therapy from posttest to follow-up period. Conclusion: Based on the results, the group cognitive-behavioral therapy can increase the use of compatible&nbsp;strategies for coping with stress and decrease the use of incompatible strategies. This issue is related to factors&nbsp;such as complete understanding of Alzheimer&rsquo;s disease and its effects, creating an atmosphere for presentation&nbsp;and an opportunity for social interaction, understanding the importance of sport and allocating time for&nbsp;recreational activities, learning body relaxation in stressful situations, understanding life problems, solving&nbsp;problem techniques, feeling of control, and time management. Thus, we recommend using group cognitivebehavioral&nbsp;therapy as a low-cost treatment for family caregivers of patients with Alzheimer&rsquo;s and patients with&nbsp;chronic diseases
