Effects of care partner type on outcomes from a multicomponent behavioral intervention for mild cognitive impairment.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Multicomponent non-pharmacological interventions, such as the HABIT Healthy Action to Benefit Independence & Thinking® program, have shown promise for improving emotional well-being, functioning, and self-efficacy in both people with mild cognitive impairment (pwMCI) and their care partners. However, limited research has examined whether outcomes differ based on type of care partner who co-enrolls with the pwMCI.

Methods

We analyzed data from 875 pwMCI-care partner dyads who completed the HABIT program. Multivariate linear mixed-effects regression models evaluated changes from baseline in outcomes by care partner type (spouse vs. non-spouse) at post-intervention, 6-months, and 12- months.

Results

At post-intervention, pwMCI with spousal care partners demo
