COVID-19–Relevant Insights Into the Elevated Risk of Accidental Injuries in Survivors of SARS and Their Relatives in Taiwan: Retrospective Cohort Study

COVID-19–Relevant Insights Into the Elevated Risk of Accidental Injuries in Survivors of SARS and Their Relatives in Taiwan: Retrospective Cohort Study

We hypothesize that the incidence of falls increased among the older population due to the decreased availability of professional caregivers during COVID-19. With fewer family members and professional help available, older patients may have been more susceptible to falling. Additionally, in this study, the risk of falls remained elevated 15 years after tracking patients with SARS, which we attribute to the physical weakness resulting from the illness.

Optimizing a Personalized Health Approach for Virtually Treating High-Risk Caregivers of Children With Neurogenetic Conditions (Project WellCAST): Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

One population for whom telehealth services offer critical benefits are NGC caregivers. Although the elevated mental health needs of NGC caregivers predated the COVID-19 pandemic [7], the pandemic caused them to face crisis-level breakdowns in support and intervention services that have continued to impact families [8].

Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Interventions for Caregivers of Patients With Cancer: Scoping Review

Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Interventions for Caregivers of Patients With Cancer: Scoping Review

The diagnosis and long-term treatment of cancer not only cause adversity for patients but also impose psychological stress and burdens on caregivers [2]. Caregivers of patients with cancer refer to informal caregivers, including family members, partners, or friends. They provide unpaid social, emotional, and economic support to a family member with cancer requiring care and are involved throughout the patient’s symptom management and nursing [3,4].

However, for important appointments, a face-to-face conversation was preferred. Patients and caregivers expressed the need for social connectedness and suggested these may be met by a digital platform.

Developing a Dyadic Immersive Virtual Environment Technology Intervention for Persons Living With Dementia and Their Caregivers: Multiphasic User-Centered Design Study

Indeed, relationships and the emotional health needs of persons living with dementia and caregivers often change throughout the course of dementia, especially in advanced stages, as cognitive and communication limitations are more common [4,12]. However, despite changes, the need for positive experiences shared between persons living with dementia and caregivers remains common and relates to fewer behavioral and psychiatric symptoms among persons living with dementia and less stress among caregivers [13].
