Abstract
Informal caregivers of people living with dementia often lack formal training, leading to gaps in knowledge, attitudes, and caregiving practices (KAP). Digital health interventions may help address these gaps. This systematic review, conducted in accordance with PRISMA 2020, searched five major databases up to February 2025 for studies assessing at least one KAP outcome. Study quality was appraised using the EPHPP tool. Seven studies met the inclusion criteria. Digital interventions generally improved caregiver knowledge and attitudes, while effects on practice were less consistent. Overall study quality was moderate. Digital interventions are promising, but more rigorous research is needed.
