Family caregivers of older adults with cognitive impairment experience significant care burden, impacting their mental health and well-being. Studies indicate that heightened caregiver burden can negatively affect the caregiver-patient relationship, leading to increased behavioral and psychological symptoms in patients with cognitive impairment. These symptoms, in turn, increase caregiver burden and worsen their mental health. However, limited evidence characterizes these complex interpersonal dynamics. Therefore, the overall objective of the study is to deeply explore the experiences of family caregivers of individuals with cognitive impairment, with a focus on their mental well-being.

The purpose of this study is to find out how teachers at a large university dealt with a serious event on campus, specifically a shooting, and how they helped their students afterward. We want to learn if teachers used special teaching methods called "trauma-informed pedagogy", which are designed to support students who may have been scared or upset by the event. We are asking teachers to fill out a survey to tell us how they felt and what they did in their classrooms after the shooting. By understanding this, we hope to improve support for teachers and students in the future when difficult events happen.
