Family Care Partner's Preparedness in Caring for Hospitalized Persons With Dementia.
Article in International journal of geriatric psychiatry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesTo examine care partner preparedness in caring for recently hospitalized persons with dementia and care partner characteristics associated with preparedness at discharge, 2 months, and 6 months post discharge.
methodsStepwise regression in a sample of 461 care partners of hospitalized persons with dementia who participated in the Fam-FFC clinical trial.
resultsOn average, care partners were 61.81 years old (SD = 14.19) and primarily female (n = 334, 72.5%). Care partners reported having some preparedness in general and it increased from discharge (23.75, SD = 6.78) to 2 months (24.5, SD = 6.49) and 6 months (26.35, SD = 6.73). Multiple care partner characteristics were associated with preparedness at discharge [age (b = -0.071; p < 0.001), burden (b = -0.283; p < 0.001), and depression (b = -0.284; p < 0.01)], 2 months [burden (b = -0.226; p < 0.001), strain (b = -0.144; p < 0.05), depression (b = -0.185; p < 0.05)] and 6 months [burden (b = -0.164; p < 0.01), strain (b = -0.183; p < 0.05), depression (b = -0.279; p < 0.01)] post discharge. While care partners' feelings of greater burden and depression were associated with lower preparedness at all time points, care partners' higher age was associated with lower preparedness at discharge only and care partners' feelings of higher strain was associated with lower preparedness at two and 6 months post discharge.
conclusionFindings suggest the need to address care partners' feelings of burden, strain, and depression with tailored interventions and programs to optimize their preparedness in meeting unique care needs of hospitalized persons with dementia. Resilience-based interventions and programs can be useful to manage feelings of burden, strain, and depression and optimize preparedness.
