Nov. 25 — Faculty presents on caregiving at national geriatric conference
Anna Satake, an assistant professor at the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis, presented the poster “Caregiver Spouses of Persons with Dementia who Engage with an Emergency Preparedness Toolkit Intervention,” at the Gerontological Society of America Annual Scientific Meeting. In collaboration with UC Davis gerontologist Rebecca Boxer, Anna sought to understand which spousal caregivers were most likely to request and engage with the Emergency Preparedness Toolkit, which is a tool for assisting a stand-by caregiver in caring for their spouse with dementia in case they are unable to do so. They found that the health status of the caregiver spouse played a major role in whether they engaged with the intervention.
