Not described.
WHAT materials Emails, online videos, e‐bulletins. Online videos and e‐bulletins.
PROCEDURES The major intervention arm consists of the following elements:
· 3 personal email contacts with a nurse specialized in dementia care
· provision of 6 online videos about how to manage behavior changes in a relative with dementia and to improve self‐efficacy in managing with this behavior
· provision of e‐bulletins with practical information about different types of behavior changes and how to manage them
The nurse gave feedback on assignments and gave feedback on the plan that the family caregiver came up with in the assignments.There were 6 videos about different types of behavior changes that occur frequently (dependent behavior, aggressive behavior, suspicious behavior, apathy or indifference, nighttime restlessness, and masking behavior). Family caregivers chosen the number of videos they watch and the accompanying assignments that they do themselves, depending on their own needs and the behavior changes that occur in their relative with dementia. The behavior changes covered in the bulletins were the same as in the videos. The e‐bulletins involve assignments to help caregivers translate the generic information to their own situation and to reflect on possible causes of the behavior changes, how they want to influence the behavior, and how they want to cope with it.
· The medium self‐management support intervention consists only of the online videos and e‐bulletins
· The minor self‐management support intervention consists only of the e‐bulletins, the same as those in the major and medium support interventions
WHO provided The personal email contacts were handled by a nurse with a Bachelor’s or Master’s qualification in nursing and with follow‐up training in dementia care.
