DESCRIPTION (provided by investigator): This project will develop a worksite-based interactive multimedia program focusing on issues confronting employed family caregivers of older adults. An automated assessment will recommend a "guided tour" of program elements most relevant to the user's personal issues or allow users to browse through the program on their own. Drawing on the models of Rolland and Doka, the program will offer advice to minimize caregiver stress, and it will help users understand care receiver viewpoints. Video vignettes and testimonials will model and promote techniques to maximize effective communication and coping skills. Communication topics will include skills useful for family meetings, conflict resolution, and negotiation, as well as for advocacy with social service agencies, long-term care facilities and the health care system. The program will also offer text-based articles supported by video testimonials, and referrals to local/national resources. Additionally, users will receive a tailored printout summarizing important program elements and other materials of interest. The program will be evaluated in a randomized control trial with 504 employed caregivers. The award-winning Phase I prototype will be marketed as a CD-ROM and in Internet/Intranet format. The Phase II program also will be produced in these formats.

描述（由研究者提供）：该项目将开发一个基于工作场所的交互式多媒体程序，重点关注老年人受雇家庭照顾者面临的问题。自动评估将推荐与用户个人问题最相关的程序元素的“导览”，或者允许用户自行浏览程序。借鉴罗兰和多卡的模式，该程序将提供建议，以尽量减少照顾者的压力，并将帮助用户理解照顾者的观点。视频短片和推荐将示范和推广技术，以最大限度地提高有效的沟通和应对技能。交流主题将包括有助于家庭会议、解决冲突和谈判的技能，以及与社会服务机构、长期护理机构和卫生保健系统进行宣传的技能。该项目还将提供由视频推荐支持的基于文本的文章，以及对当地/国家资源的推荐。此外，用户将收到一份定制的打印输出，总结了重要的程序元素和其他感兴趣的材料。该计划将在504名受雇护理人员的随机对照试验中进行评估。获奖的第一阶段原型将以CD-ROM和Internet/Intranet格式销售。第二阶段的项目也将采用这些格式。
