Filter by:The proposed trial aims to assess the effectiveness of Cognitive-behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) based ecological momentary intervention (EMI) for reducing insomnia symptoms among stroke caregivers.
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 objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and stress reduction impacts of a yoga and support group intervention on caregivers of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The current body of research fails to acknowledge or understand what type of care children are giving to their siblings, yet it appears to be a common practice in many cultures. To address this gap, we propose to examine the role and activities children provide to siblings with a chronic illness or disability. Additionally, we seek to better understand what preparation, training, or support (either formal or informal) are provided to siblings who are actively engaged in the caregiving process. We will further examine indicators for quality of relationship between the two siblings and examine themes and associations. We will accomplish this through a mixed-methods design with the four following aims: Aim 1: Describe the role and activities of children (ages 7 to 17) while providing care for a sibling with a chronic illness or disability. Through a descriptive qualitative inquiry, we will ascertain details and experiences on caregiving from the perspective of the parent and the sibling (separately) regarding the care the sibling provides to the child with a chronic illness. Themes of connection, friendship, direct medical and physical care (such as feeding) will be explored. Open ended questions which support the aim will be asked indirectly and directly, such as, "What does your day look like when you are getting ready to go somewhere" verses "Can you describe how you help your sibling each day." Aim 2: Investigate ways in which children are educated, trained, or supported in their caregiving role. Both qualitative information and quantitative data will be gathered as guided by Aim 1. For example, if a sibling indicates they provide feeding support, they will be asked questions such as, "How did you learn or know how to help feed them?" Informants will also be asked questions regarding how often and how long they spend caring for their sibling using a Likert-type scale. Aim 3: Explore quality indicators of sibling relationship from the caregiving perspective. Parents (main caregiver) will be asked to complete a demographic survey and the sibling inventory of behavior survey, a psychometrically validated tool to measure indicators of the sibling relationship. Qualitative data from aims 1 and 2 and quantitative data from aim 2 will be used to understand how specific themes may positively or negatively be associated with a positive sibling relationship, as a positive sibling relationship serves as a protective factor for sibling outcomes10. Aim 4: Determine to what extent the quantitative data about parental-perceived sibling relationships converge with or diverge from the qualitative data about care provided by the sibling. For the mixed-methods data analysis, a joint display will be created to show a side-by-side comparison of the quantitative, qualitative, and integrated findings. Points of concordance, discordance, and expansion will provide rich insights into caregiving provided by siblings.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the Hospital Elder Life Program (HELP) with a family-augmented version of HELP (FAM-HELP), that includes family members and care partners, for the prevention of delirium in older patients during hospital admission. The main objectives of the trial are the following: 1. To compare the effectiveness of FAM-HELP and HELP in reducing both the incidence of delirium and its severity. 2. To compare the effectiveness of FAM-HELP and HELP in improving patient- and family-reported outcomes. 3. To explore the implementation context, process, and outcomes of the FAM-HELP program in diverse hospital settings.
Psychological distress including depression and anxiety is a major component of caregiver stress, and its negative impact on caregivers' health and well-being has been established in the literature. A recent meta-analysis reported the prevalence of depression and anxiety in stroke caregivers as 40.2% and 21.4% respectively. An evidence profile report by the World Health Organization(WHO) has emphasised that psychological support is crucial in helping caregivers in the community to continue caring for individuals with long-term disabilities, such as stroke patients. Therefore, early psychological intervention (EPI) is crucial to improve the management and prognosis of an individual who are facing stressful events like caregiving. The main aim of this study is to prevent or alleviate the significant psychological consequences in carers resulting from stroke events in family members. Internet-delivered cognitive-behavioural therapy (iCBT) is delivered as an ecological momentary intervention (EMI) to support the clients to engage in cognitive reframing and empower them with proper knowledge, skills and attitudes to make behavioural changes.
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.
Lung cancer is a malignant tumour that has transformed from a single cancer disease into one of the most striking global health problems. Lung cancer has an insidious onset, and most patients are first diagnosed with the middle and advanced stages. Cancer-related fatigue is the most common and distressing symptom reported by lung cancer patients. For cancer patients, fatigue has a lasting impact on physical, psychological and social functions, and interferes with activities and participating in life events, thereby worsening the health-related quality of life. Family members have a key role in providing advanced lung cancer patients with informational, instrumental, and emotional support, which is crucial to patients' adaptation to the advanced illness and living a meaningful cancer life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is the third-wave cognitive behavioural therapy to improve functioning and health-related quality of life by increasing psychological flexibility. The study aims to examine test the feasibility and acceptability, and preliminary effects of online ACT on fatigue interference in patients with advanced lung cancer and caregiver burden.
The goal of this preference-based pilot study will be to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and impact of a 12-week exercise intervention on oncology care provider burnout, compassion fatigue, and well-being. Participants will be divided into one of three exercise groups. Group assignment will be based on participant preference. Group 1: Supervised circuit-based resistance exercise (2 days/week) Group 2: Supervised circuit-based resistance exercise (2 days/week) + moderate-to-high intensity home-based walking/light jogging program (3 days/week) Group 3: Self-paced home-based walking program (3 days/week)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of a self-care educational program via telerehabilitation on the quality of life, burden, stress, pain, and depression of caregivers of people with ALS.
