Effective Interventions

Annually, 5.4 million people are affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia (AD), most of whom are cared for by unpaid family caregivers and are medically supervised by primary care providers (PCPs). AD caregivers report feelings of satisfaction in their ability to provide care, though they often experience caregiver burden (CB) from the extensive physical and emotional effort involved in AD caregiving, especially when providing care to someone with advanced AD. Standardized measures have been developed to assess for CB among AD caregivers, and effective interventions have been developed for reducing CB. However, there currently lacks a standardized, feasible approach for CB screening. This article presents an innovative, evidence-based tool to prompt CB screening and referrals among AD caregivers receiving home care services.

Areas Of Concern

In this first edition book, editors Jolly and Jarvis have compiled a range of important, contemporary gifted education topics. Key areas of concern focus on evidence-based practices and research findings from Australia and New Zealand. Other contributors include 14 gifted education experts from leading Australian and New Zealand Universities and organisations. Exploring Gifted Education: Australian and New Zealand Perspectives, introduced by the editors, is well organised. Jolly and Jarvis’s central thesis in their introduction is to acknowledge the disparity between policy, funding and practice in Australia and New Zealand. Specifically, in relation to Australia, they note that a coordinated, national research agenda is absent, despite recommendations published by the Australian Senate Inquiry almost 20 years ago.
