[Feasibility and effects of a psychotherapeutic group intervention for caregiving relatives of people with dementia].

DISCUSSION: The intervention did not reach its primary endpoints. Possible reasons are the fact that the group was highly heterogeneous with respect to dementia etiology and the low number of participants. The short duration of the intervention may have reduced the potential of the program to address all urgent needs of the participants. PMID: 30643963 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
