Co-designed films to reduce care burden in India: The Moving Pictures pilot trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Evidence for digital dementia care interventions is limited in low-and middle-income countries. We co-designed 10 short films on dementia care with Indian family carers and clinicians and tested their feasibility and effect on family carers' distress, mood, and quality of life.

Methods

In a single-blind, online pilot randomized clinical trial, adult carers across India were randomized 1:1 to intervention or waitlist. Feasibility was defined as >70% consent and >80% retention at 3 and 6 months. Outcomes included distress, mood, and quality of life.

Results

Of 58 carers expressing interest, 50 (86%) were randomized, and 43 (86%) and 45 (90%) completed 3- and 6-month follow-ups. Intervention participants viewed the films for an average of 1.3 h. No significa
