Various psychological outcomes were measured at baseline (T0), immediately after intervention (T1), and at the 3-month follow-up (T2).ResultsBoth interventions were found to be feasible in view of the high attendance (more than 70.0%) and low attrition (3.8%) rates. The mixed analysis of variance (ANOVA) results showed positive within-group effects on perceived stress (p?=?.030, Cohen'sd?=?0.54), depressive symptoms (p?=?.002, Cohen'sd?=?0.77), and subjective caregiver burden (p?
