Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to test how well resource navigators help long-term care and retirement home staff access the various health and wellness resources available to them and the effects that this has on their health and wellness overall. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How does one-on-one support from a resource navigator affect the wellness of long-term care and retirement home staff, including burnout, vaccination status, and COVID-19 infection? Researchers will compare participants in the intervention group (where participants are paired with a resource navigator) and the control group (where participants are not paired with a resource navigator) to see the impact access to a resource navigator has on wellness (primary outcome), burnout, knowledge of, access to and use of wellness resources, knowledge/alignment with provincial public health guidelines related to SARS-CoV-2 vaccine outcomes, SARS-CoV-2 infection, hospitalization, and death (secondary outcomes). Hypothesis: Researchers anticipate that those in the intervention group (have access to a resource navigator) will report a higher positive change in wellness between baseline and 6 months.
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.
The Sharing History through Active Reminiscence and Photo-imagery (SHARP) Program engages triads (primary caregiver, person living with dementia, caregiver support person) in walking and social reminiscence, using a group tablet to access routes and historical neighborhood images serving as conversational prompts. Focus is on adapting the SHARP model to older Black dementia caregivers and on caregiver physical and mental health. Study technology measures sleep and daily step count. Weekly online surveys assess health status. Pre-post assessments measure cognitive function and mental health. Focus groups assess adaptation needs, feasibility and acceptance, and cultural significance.
• Brief Summary: In order to benefit from the opportunity of education anytime and anywhere with distance education, individuals need to use mobile devices such as mobile phones, tablets, PCs, which provide the opportunity to access educational content independent of time and place. For these reasons, new searches for the delivery of health services are on the agenda and mobile health applications are seen as a solution to most problems faced by the health system and hospitals. Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a nutritional method that was first described by Gauder et al. in 1980 and is used in patients with impaired oral intake and intact gastrointestinal tract for various reasons. Caregivers play an important role in the home care process of patients undergoing PEG. Caregivers may encounter social, physical and psychological problems while applying their care. In line with all these reasons, the training to be given to the patient or his/her relative/person who will perform the PEG implantation is very important. Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of mobile application use in training given to caregivers of patients with PEG on the competence, satisfaction and care burden of caregivers.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a degenerative neurological disease that causes progressive motor disability and is life threatening within a few years. The severity of the disease, the progressive loss of autonomy that leads to dependence on family and caregivers, and the lack of effective treatment sometimes leads patients to a loss of hope and to dark thoughts. The prevalence of suicidal ideation is high, with more than one third of people with ALS experiencing it. The psychological suffering of patients is often associated with that of their caregivers. The evaluation of the patients' feeling of being a burden has rarely been addressed in previous studies in ALS on the notion of burden. In this work, the investigators wish to evaluate the patient's ideas of death by also taking into account the caregiver's burden and the patient's feeling of being a burden. They wish to better understand this difficult experience by refocusing the study on the patient himself, which has rarely been addressed in studies on ALS and the notion of burden. By working on the caregiver's burden, both from the caregiver's point of view and as perceived by the patient, the investigators hope to find avenues of intervention and define actions that could help patients and their families and improve the quality of life of the patient-caregiver couple.
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.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and initial efficacy of the VOCALE LBD+ intervention in caregivers of persons living with Lewy Body Dementia. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - What is the extent to which the VOCALE LBD+ intervention affects caregiving mastery scores at the end of the eight-week intervention - What is the extent to which a change in caregiving mastery scores is retained four weeks after the end of the VOCALE LBD+ intervention Participants will be asked to participate in a fully online asynchronous VOCALE LBD+ intervention that involves a moderated web-based discussion platform, peer-to-peer support, didactic training, and problem-solving skill enactment.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an eight-week mindfulness-based teleintervention in improving quality of life, parental burnout, self-compassion, and stress level in mothers of children with disabilities.
