Official title
Happy@Home: Delivering Internet-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy With Homecare Workers to At-Home Seniors
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Depression is one of the most common and debilitating conditions among older adults. At-home seniors, also called homebound seniors, are older adults who are confined to a bed or chair and are unable to get about outdoors. Internet-based CBT (iCBT) delivers CBT via websites or dedicated apps on mobile devices or tablets. iCBT can be self-administered or guided by a therapist. Its strengths include low-cost, accessibility, and ability to tailor to individual needs while maintaining fidelity. Despite its potential, iCBT trials have rarely included older adults. Those that included older adults showed that they tended to report more technological challenges but they benefited from the intervention as much as younger adults did. As far as we know, studies have not yet tested the feasibility and preliminary effects of iCBT with a diverse group of at-home seniors receiving non-skilled home care. This study explores the feasibility and acceptability of delivering iCBT to a sample of at-home seniors who receive non-skilled home care. Home care workers who care for these seniors are recruited to provide assistance for completing iCBT. We hypothesize that iCBT is an acceptable and feasible intervention for treating depression among at-home seniors.
