Filter by:Family caregivers are the key persons in the recovery and rehabilitation process of stroke survivors. Despite multiple researches recommended the development of interventions which are based on the family caregivers' needs and recommended the conduction of the interventions based on the integration of skill-building, psychoeducation, and peer support to relieve the care burden they feel, there are no studies conducted to evaluate the effect of such these interventions on the family caregivers of stroke survivors in Egypt. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a tailored multidimensional intervention on the care burden among family caregivers of stroke survivors. Using a randomized control trial, 110 family caregivers will be recruited from the community; from the outpatient clinics and rehabilitation clinics which are located at Mansoura city (Capital of Dakahlia Governorate) and the surrounding cities and villages. The participants will be randomized through 1:1 open-label randomization to the intervention group and the control group. The intervention group will receive the tailored multidimensional intervention. The intervention will last for 6 months. 3 home visits and 3 telephone interventions and 1 peer support will be conducted during the first 3 months. the home visits and telephone interventions will be conducted biweekly alternately. During the second 3 months, 3 telephone follow-ups will be conducted monthly. Regarding the control group, they will receive a simple educational booklet through one home visit. The primary outcome is the care burden (Zarit Burden Interview) and secondary outcomes are the perceived needs (Family Needs Questionnaire-Revised), coping strategies (Brief Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced) and quality of life (World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF) among family caregivers. The primary and secondary outcomes will be assessed basically before the intervention and after the 3rd and 6th months since the start of the intervention.
The purpose of this study is to assess professional quality of life in German nurses working with patients with mental disorders.
This trial studies caregiver burden, quality of life, and symptom distress of patients and their informal (unpaid) caregivers at different palliative care settings. Cancer caregiving may affect a caregiver's life physically, emotionally, socially, and financially. Studying caregiver burden may help investigators learn about caregivers' opinions on stress of caregiving, and about the factors related to caregiver burdens.
The Engage Coaching Project is a Stage 1 intervention development study. This study asks: "what behavioral strategies are needed to help socially disconnected caregivers with significant barriers to increasing connectedness?" This study uses a mixed methods approach to adapt a brief behavioral intervention-Social Engage psychotherapy-for use with socially disconnected caregivers. The ultimate goal is for Social Engage psychotherapy to be offered as a second step in a stepped care approach for caregivers who do not demonstrate an adequate response to a single-session psychoeducation plus resources intervention. Social Engage Psychotherapy helps caregivers bolster motivation for increasing connectedness, teaches problem solving skills, and provides behavioral practice with social engagement. Up to 8 brief sessions (typically 30 minutes) are provided weekly over no more than three months. This is a single-arm clinical trial of Social Engage psychotherapy, with up to 30 participants.
The purpose of this study is to assess professional quality of life in German psychiatrists working with patients with mental disorders.
The purpose of this study is to assess professional quality of life in German psychologists working with patients with mental disorders.
This study is testing a supportive psychosocial intervention for caregivers of people who have malignant brain tumors such as gliomas or other high-grade primary brain tumors. This study was designed because caregivers of patients with malignant brain tumors often experience physical and psychological burdens caring for their loved ones. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a program offering psychological support can help caregivers learn effective coping methods during their loved one's treatment and make the experience of being a caregiver more manageable.
This research is being done to learn whether services to the caregiver to provide emotional, instrumental and social support can improve quality of life and other outcomes. The Caregiver-Support program provides services that are not usually available to caregivers of persons with heart failure and other chronic conditions.
With the growth of hospice, older adults have the opportunity to receive home-based care aimed at reducing suffering and focusing on quality of life at the end of life. While use of technology and educational videos has yet to be fully developed, structured, and evaluated in home hospice care, it has shown promise to improve care in other settings. Therefore, this study aims to develop and evaluate a multi-component technology-based care intervention, i.e., Improving Home hospice Management of End of life issues through technology (I-HoME), that focuses on assessing and addressing patient symptoms and caregiver burden in the home hospice setting through synchronous live video visits and educational videos. The aim of the first phase of the project is to employ an iterative user-centered design process to develop I-HoME for home hospice patients and their caregivers prior to implementation.
Mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) refers to a particular type of attention focused on the present moment, non-judgmental awareness, and acceptance of that experience with openness and curiosity. Mindfulness training was designed to enhance the range and use of coping skills, decrease levels of stress, improve mood, and reduce tendencies to react in maladaptive ways 1-3. Investigators are evaluating a new program, called the Mindfulness Based Dementia-Care (MBDC) in caregivers (CG) for dementia, which combines the traditional approaches with education. The overall objective of this study is to evaluate the program and explore the potential benefits of the Mindfulness Based Dementia-Care (MBDC) program. Investigators are conducting a prospective, pre-post, observational study with members participating in the MBDC program.
