STAR-Caregivers Virtual Training and Follow-up: a cultural adaptation for Latino caregivers of people with dementia.
This paper describes what is needed to adapt the STAR-Caregivers Virtual Training and Follow-up (STAR-VTF), an evidence-based intervention that teaches family caregivers how to manage behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia to Latino caregivers. This qualitative research study interviewed Spanish- and English-speaking caregivers of people with dementia who self-identify as Hispanic/Latino (N = 30) and healthcare and social service providers of older Latino clients and/or Latino family caregivers (N = 14). The authors identified three themes: (i) there was a need to increase awareness about dementia and decrease stigma; (ii) semantics mattered as certain words and phrases could be stigmatizing, offensive, or culturally inappropriate; and (iii) there was a need to incorporate into program materials the traditional family structure and nature of caregiving in Latino families. Based on findings, STAR-VTF was adapted to expand content to improve understanding of dementia, language was revised that was viewed as problematic, and cultural examples were added to reflect the range of family involvement in caring for people living with dementia and multigenerational living.
