ABSTRACT

Alzheimer's disease is becoming a social, political, and economic issue as a result of both the growing number of people affected and the enormous economic, social, and emotional costs involved in caring for Alzheimer's patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of a multimodal intervention program for patients with Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers. The study was conducted on a sample of 32 subjects: 16 Alzheimer's patients and their caregivers. The results obtained after the multimodal rehabilitation program showed that the Alzheimer's patients had a more stable cognitive status and improved mood. Regarding the psychoeducational program, the results demonstrate the efficacy of such interventions in terms of increasing and preserving the caregivers' coping skills and enhancing their perception of the value of support groups.
