Abstract Family caregivers who provide care to persons with dementia (PWD) in a home setting may feel greater stress, depressive symptoms, or struggle to deal with issues in their lives. Indeed, PWD often require 24-hour care that includes ensuring safety, providing emotional support, and assistance with activities of daily living and multiple instrumental activities of daily living. This study examined the short-term effects of an online music intervention on stress, coping, and depression among caregivers of PWD. We included 35 caregivers (n=24 [intervention group], n=11 [comparison group]) living at home with their family member with dementia. Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon signed-ranked test were performed to examine between- and within-group differences from baseline to eight weeks after the intervention. The coping subscale yielded a significant difference between the groups at post-test (U=76.50, Z= -1.978, p=0.048), indicating the intervention group had better coping than the comparison group at post-test. Significant within-group differences in overall stress (Z= -2.200, p= 0.028) and coping subscale (Z= -1.997, p=0.046) in the comparison group at post-test suggest that overall stress and coping were maintained from baseline to post-test in the intervention group, whereas the comparison group had significantly higher overall stress and lower coping at post-test. This home-based online music program showed potential benefits for caregivers of PWD by taking into account participants’ musical preferences and ease of access to the program. A randomized controlled trial with a larger sample size and objective measurements of stress and depressive symptoms (e.g., biomarkers) should be conducted in the future.

Adolescents with ASD who are living in dormitory with only the assistance of caregivers and without the presence of parents are demanded to be more independent in self-care. Complex disorders that occur in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affect the child's self autonomy to fulfill self-care needs. This study aims to identify the description of self-care agency in adolescents with ASD who are living in dormitory of SLB “X” in Bandung District.This research used a quantitative descriptive design. The sample in this study was adolescents with ASD who are living in dormitory, used total sampling technique with the total of 35 people. The instrument of this study was Kenny Self Care Evaluation (KSCE) which was analyzed and presented in tabular form using frequency distribution in percentage.The results showed that in personal hygiene (74.3%) and toileting (71.4%) of respondents experienced total dependence. In transfer activities (77.1%), dressing (65.7%), and feeding (82.9%) of respondents needed minimal assistance or supervision. However, in activities in bed and locomotion all respondents were independent. The conclusion from this study shows that adolescents with ASD experienced the lowest level of independence where they needed total support in carrying personal hygiene and toileting activities. Thus, it is essential for school and dormitory managers to work closely with community nurses to improve adolescent's skills in self-care by providing education to both adolescents and caregivers.

The instrument consisted of sociodemographic and health data, the Barthel Index and the Lawton scale. RESULTS: In all, 78.00% of the elderly were classified as dependent in the basic activities and 65.33% in the instrumental activities of daily living. Using the Kruskal-Wallis test, we found a statistically significant difference between the means of instrumental activities and the age groups (p=0.011). CONCLUSION: An elevated number of elderly were classified as dependent in terms of functional capacity and increased age is related to greater impairment in the execution of instrumental activities of daily living.
