Acceptability of an Intervention to Prevent Older Adult Mistreatment Among Family Caregivers to Persons With Dementia: Multimethod Pilot Study.
Trial report in JMIR formative research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05783102 (Knowledge and Interpersonal Skills to Develop Exemplary Relationships), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
backgroundOlder adult mistreatment occurs in many as one-half of dementia care partners. Psychological mistreatment is the most common form of older adult mistreatment by family caregivers and is known to create mental health morbidities among care recipients. The Knowledge and Interpersonal Skills to Develop Enhanced Relationships (KINDER) intervention is among the first older adult mistreatment prevention interventions focused on family caregivers. KINDER was designed to prevent psychological mistreatment of older adults. Caregivers found the initial asynchronous web-based version (KINDER 1.0) to be acceptable but expressed a desire to engage with other family caregivers. KINDER was revised to integrate 3 facilitated small group discussion sessions conducted by videoconference. This study examines the acceptability of a revised KINDER intervention. This research addresses the extent to which caregivers find a novel approach to older adult mistreatment prevention to be acceptable.
objectiveThis study aims to evaluate the acceptability of the revised KINDER intervention.
methodsThe investigators conducted semistructured qualitative interviews with a purposive sample of family caregivers following participation in KINDER (N=11) and collected postintervention survey data (N=71). The qualitative interview codebook and survey questions were informed by the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability by Sekhon et al. Components of acceptability in this framework include affective attitude, burden, ethicality, intervention coherence, opportunity costs, perceived effectiveness, and self-efficacy at completing activities. Qualitative interviews were coded by 2 independent coders using a thematic analytic approach. Survey data were analyzed using frequencies and percentages.
resultsOf the 98 caregivers who attended KINDER, 71 (72%) completed satisfaction surveys. Caregivers reported high levels of overall satisfaction with KINDER; 80% (53/66) of participants reported they were "Very Satisfied" with the intervention, and 20% (13/66) indicated they were "Satisfied." More than 80% of caregivers (56/69, 81%) rated the newly added group discussions as being "Very valuable." Qualitative findings supported positive attitudes revealed in survey responses. Themes addressed (1) the interventions' alignment with caregiver values (affective attitude, intervention coherence, ethicality), (2) beliefs about the effectiveness of the program (perceived effectiveness), (3) difficulty participating in the program relative to its perceived overall value (burden, opportunity cost, self-efficacy), and (4) recommendations to further improve the intervention.
conclusionsThese findings indicate that KINDER was well received among family caregivers, who reported high levels of satisfaction and positive feedback on its components. The addition of virtual group discussion sessions was particularly valued. The use of multiple data collection methods in this research provided a comprehensive understanding of caregiver experiences. This study contributes to current knowledge by demonstrating the acceptability of a novel intervention to prevent older adult mistreatment by family caregivers to persons with dementia. Future research should focus on testing the efficacy of KINDER and exploring its implementation in health and social service settings.
