With the aging of America, eldercare issues are a growing concern, especially for adult children who generally are employed and under considerable stress trying to juggle their roles as both employee and caregiver. This project will develop an interactive multimedia program that will focus on issues confronting family caregivers who assist with care management and IADL activities. The Phase I prototype will target issues of caregiving in the chronic phase of illness, and will be evaluated at a worksite with a randomized trial. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS: Individuals can purchase this program, however, worksites, medical clinics, employee assistance programs and community service organizations are also feeling the need for greater eldercare support. This multimedia program will offer convenient and cost-effective referrals, information, support and training tailored specifically to the psychosocial demands being placed on the family. It will also provide data reports regarding user interests and user needs in order to assist administrators with program planning and evaluation.

随着美国的老龄化，老年人护理问题日益受到关注，特别是对于成年子女来说，他们通常都有工作，并且在相当大的压力下试图兼顾他们作为雇员和照顾者的角色。该项目将开发一个交互式多媒体程序，将重点放在家庭照顾者谁协助照顾管理和IADL活动所面临的问题。第一阶段的原型将针对疾病慢性期的复发问题，并将在一个随机试验的工作场所进行评估。拟议的商业应用：个人可以购买这个计划，但是，工作场所，医疗诊所，员工援助计划和社区服务组织也感到需要更多的老年人护理支持。这一多媒体方案将提供方便和具有成本效益的转介、信息、支助和培训，专门针对家庭的心理社会需求。它还将提供有关用户兴趣和用户需求的数据报告，以协助管理员进行方案规划和评估。
