Discussion

Systematic review and meta-analysis shows telehealth improves psychological well-being in family caregivers, suggesting benefits may be short-lived.

Telehealth interventions significantly improve psychological well-being (SMD = 0.21; p = 0.006) for family caregivers of older adults.
Caregiving competence is enhanced through telehealth, with a notable effect size (SMD = 0.73; p = 0.007).
A total of 26 studies, including 23 randomized controlled trials, were analyzed, involving 2932 family caregivers.
Long-term benefits of telehealth on caregiver burden and psychological outcomes remain inconclusive beyond 4 months.

Ortiz‐Piña et al. (2025) studied this question.
