Ducharme, F., Dubé, V., Lévesque, L., Saulnier, D., Giroux, F. (2012) Programme de formation en ligne sur la gestion du stress: une nouvelle forme de soutien pour les proches aidants de personnes âgées. Vie et vieillissement, 9 (4), 28-35.
Since this initial work, has been the subject of a study that evaluated the long-term effects on certain indicators of the quality of life of caregivers. The study was conducted by Dr. Véronique Dubé, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Nursing at Université de Montréal, researcher at the Centre de recherche du Centre hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal and holder of the Marguerite-d’Youville Research Chair on Humanistic Nursing Interventions, as well as her team.
