Abstract

This study provides novel evidence that a digitally delivered, nurse-led telecare program-integrating health and social services-can improve psychological outcomes among informal caregivers. These findings have practical implications for health systems seeking scalable, low-barrier solutions to support caregivers. Telecare models may be a valuable complement to traditional services, enhancing caregiver resilience and promoting aging in place while alleviating long-term strain on institutional care systems.
