社会联系是为阿尔茨海默病和相关痴呆症(ADRD)家庭成员提供护理的个人健康干预的一个未被充分研究的目标。为了指导未来的研究，我们讨论了促进社会联系的干预措施的考虑因素，特别侧重于减少孤独感：(A)在设计和提供干预措施时纳入照料者的观点；(B)适应痴呆症的各个阶段；(C)考虑照料需求，包括使用短暂干预措施；(D)具体说明和衡量干预措施的行动机制和原则；(E)考虑在研究的所有阶段传播和实施。在国家老龄研究所对Roybal老年行为和社会科学翻译研究中心的支持下，我们正在开发一系列机制知情和原则驱动的行为干预措施，以促进ADRD照顾者的社会联系，这些干预措施可以灵活应用，以满足多样化的需求，同时最大限度地利用资源，减少对照顾者的需求。
Social connection is an understudied target of intervention for the health of individuals providing care for a family member with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD). To guide future research, we discuss considerations for interventions to promote social connection, with a particular focus on reducing loneliness: (a) include caregiver perspectives in designing and delivering interventions; (b) adapt to stages of dementia; (c) consider caregiving demands, including the use of brief interventions; (d) specify and measure mechanisms of action and principles of interventions; (e) consider dissemination and implementation at all stages of research. With support from the National Institute on Aging for a Roybal Center for Translational Research in the Behavioral and Social Sciences of Aging, we are developing a portfolio of mechanism-informed and principle-driven behavioral interventions to promote social connection in ADRD caregivers that can be flexibly applied to meet a diverse set of needs while maximizing resources and reducing demands on caregivers.
