基于互联网的精明看护者 (IBSC) 计划的总体目标是开发基于互联网的心理教育计划并将其推向市场，旨在为痴呆症看护者提供他们在所承担的看护角色中承担和成功所需的知识、技能和观点。 IBSC 计划的概念基于面对面的护理人员培训计划和课程，即之前经过验证的精明护理人员计划 (SCP)。该项目采用迭代设计，结合专家和消费者的意见来开发初始原型。 47 名参与者完成了 IBSC 计划和后续调查问卷。形成性评估的结果表明，参与者认为该计划具有教育意义、方便、有用且有趣。参与者表示对护理技能以及与家人的沟通感到更加自信。证据表明，基于互联网的计划可以增强家庭护理人员照顾痴呆症患者的信心。
The overall goal of the Internet-Based Savvy Caregiver (IBSC) program was to develop and bring to market an Internet-based psycho-educational program designed to provide dementia caregivers the knowledge, skills, and outlook they need to undertake and succeed in the caregiving role they have assumed. The IBSC program's concept is based on a face-to-face caregiver-training program and curriculum, the previously validated Savvy Caregiver Program (SCP). The project used an iterative design with expert and consumer input to develop the initial prototype. Forty-seven participants completed the IBSC program and follow-up questionnaire. Results of the formative evaluation showed that participants found the program educational, convenient, useful, and interesting. Participants endorsed feeling more confident in caregiving skills and communication with their family members. The evidence points to the feasibility of an Internet-based program to strengthen family caregivers' confidence in caring for persons with dementia.
