AbstractParticipants from an outpatient treatment program for cognitive disorders have been offered bridging measures because of limited access to the outpatient clinic during a Covid-19-caused lock-down. The aim of this study was to assess perceived stress, acceptance, and appreciation of the measures among patients and their caregivers compared to the previous bridging measure. Forty participants were offered treatment in person or online depending on their cognitive performance level. To evaluate acceptance, data collected from clinical routine was incorporated into a treatment observation. The evaluation of bridging measures by 25 participants was positive. Perceived stress was moderate to high among participants and has increased significantly compared to previous special treatment. Perceived stress in older patients had increased over the course of the pandemic. Bridging measures represented a treatment alternative and may offer previously untapped potential for location-independent psychosocial treatments in order to ameliorate both the patients’ and their caregivers’ convenience.
