The Use of Technology by the Rural-Dwelling Caregivers of People Living With Dementia to Support Caregiving: Qualitative Interview Study

All rural caregivers in this study used technology to access caregiving support, which suggests that this population is prepared for remote interventions. Our findings can be used to help determine optimal delivery and content of these interventions and instruct interventionists on caregiver and technology characteristics that may facilitate uptake. Rural caregivers may be receptive to interventions delivered through texts, websites, and videos, particularly those that focus on meeting informational and instrumental needs.
