Filter by:The goals of this clinical trial are to: 1) refine the training program, "Improving Care though Improv;" and 2) test the program for its influence self-perceived caregiving mastery (i.e., how persons assess their ability to provide care) among informal caregivers of persons living with moderate dementia. Forty-three informal caregivers will be involved in testing the training program. These individuals will be assigned to groups of between 8 to12 caregivers and take part in weekly 2-hour sessions held over a 4-week period. These caregivers will be taught improvisational (improv) theater skills, which involves being in the moment, self-awareness, and responsiveness to others. This group also will be asked to answer surveys questions about themselves and the person receiving care at three timepoints and invited to provide feedback on their training experiences.
This intervention study aims to investigate the effects of the m-Health supportive care transition program on response patterns (transition stress and the burden of caregiving) among traumatic brain injury (TBI) caregivers and patients' readmission rate one month after hospital discharge. Specific objectives: 1. Compare the response patterns (transition stress and the burden of caregiving) of TBI caregivers before and after receiving the program within the group. 2. Compare TBI caregivers' response patterns (transition stress and the burden of caregiving) between the control and intervention groups. 3. Compare patients' readmission rates at one month after hospital discharge between the control and intervention groups TBI caregivers are divided into two groups: the intervention group (who receive the transitional care program) and the control group (who receive the standard care program) according to standard operating procedures applicable in the hospital. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare [insert groups] to see if [insert effects]
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether an online Dementia Awareness Course is feasible for delivery and acceptable to informal caregivers of people living with dementia in the UK. It will also explore the impact of the course on different caregiver outcomes.
A two-group (intervention vs. usual care), randomized controlled design will be used to determine the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention, the Heart2Heart program, and determine efficacy on physical and psychological outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF) and caregivers. A total of 20 patients with HF and 20 caregivers (n= 40) will be randomly assigned to the intervention or usual care group stratified by patient and caregiver groups. Only participants in the intervention will be asked to attend the 12-week sessions (two sessions per week; a total of 24 sessions in 12 weeks) via video conferencing (i.e., ZOOM). The short-term intervention efficacy will be assessed following week of the completion of 12-weeks sessions. Primary psychological outcomes include depressive symptoms, anxiety, stress, and quality of life. Primary physical outcomes include physical activity level, sleep quality, and perceived symptoms.
Pilot testing the feasibility of the Transformative Audio Storytelling approach for informal caregivers, as an innovative method for delivering potentially empowering mental health narratives.
This study aimed to determine the experiences of primary caregivers of patients with tracheostomies on tracheostomy suctioning procedure. This is a semi-structured qualitative study.
This is a small-scale multi-site pilot of a supplemental enhancement called "Care Partner" to the evidence-based CAPABLE program that will involve up to 60 individuals (30 care partners and older adult dyads) and 30 professional staff in organizations currently licensed to provide CAPABLE. This is a qualitative study of a convenience sample of individuals.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the effect of a family-centered support program on the care burden, depressive symptoms, perceived social support, and quality of life of stroke survivor' caregivers and on care recipients' rehabilitation adherence and depressive symptoms.
The present study registration relates to a quantitative sub-study of a larger mixed method study, including also a qualitative sub-study. Together, these investigations will provide complementary insights. The quantitative study is a follow-up study of close relatives (> 16 years) of patients in treatment for substance use disorder (SUD) who participated in a group-based 4-day psychoeducational program.
This study will examine a heart rate variability biofeedback (HRVB) intervention versus a music listening control (MLC) for 30 family caregivers (FCGs) of Alzheimer's disease (AD) (and related dementias: ADRD) patients to examine feasibility (acceptability/adherence, satisfaction) and direction of change in caregiver burden, stress, resilience, anxiety, self-compassion, and relationship quality over the course of 8-weeks.
