Designing a multicomponent intervention to support caregivers of persons with dementia in primary care in Spain: a qualitative study of family and professional carers.
Article in BMJ open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to explore experiences of family and professional caregivers of persons with dementia in order to design a tailored community-based support programme.
designA two-stage study was deployed. First, qualitative research draws on three focus groups. Two of these comprised family caregivers and the third was made up of care provision professionals. Thematic content analysis was conducted by interpretative description for applied practice. Second, an experience-based codesign methodology was applied to design a tailored support programme in accordance with carers' demands and contextual realities. SETTING AND STUDY PERIOD: Rural region in Catalonia, at northeast of Spain. March-June 2019.
participantsWe interviewed 12 family caregivers and 8 primary care providers.
results10 main themes were identified: caregivers' feelings, repercussions of caregiving in caregivers' lives, education about dementia and caring skills, education about time management and self-care, caregivers' needs to receive more information and training, improved patients' follow-up and social assistance and more psychologic support. Finally, three themes related to caregivers' demands: social services resources, multidisciplinary approach programmes and support from other caregivers. From these results, a multicomponent, professionally led community-based intervention was designed. The main components were the following: education and caring skills, professional psychological support, and social and community resources.
conclusionThis study allowed the design of a multicomponent support intervention for family caregivers of persons with dementia aimed at reducing their burden and improving their quality of life in ways consistent with their actual needs and the available local resources.
