Filter by:This proposed intervention centers on improving survivorship outcomes among African American and Latinx cancer survivor and caregiver dyads. As a result, there will be four major outcomes. First, as a result of partnership with minority social institutions (e.g. faith leaders), we will develop an in-depth culturally sensitive curriculum and survivorship care plan for Cancer Survivorship and Caregiver Leaders Aimed for Minority Populations (CSC LAMPs). Second, we will increase knowledge and skills by evaluating a comprehensive cancer survivorship training program designed for underserved health professional students. Third, the implementation of this program will improve survivorship outcomes among African American and Latinx cancer survivors with advanced stage cancer and their caregivers. Lastly, this study will build sustainability for underserved minorities with the training of 30 future healthcare providers as a valuable community resource for improving cancer survivorship outcomes. The long-term outcomes of the CSC LAMPs program will generate workforce capacity and diversity in cancer-based clinical practice, research, and community advocacy for underserved minority cancer survivors and caregivers.
The purpose of the Daily Study of Caregiving Relationships and Health is to learn how caregiving relationships and social connectedness are associated with dementia caregivers' health, health behaviors, and diurnal patterns of salivary cortisol. This is a pilot study wherein the purpose is to test the feasibility and acceptability of study protocols.
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of post-stroke discharge training and telephone counseling service on patients' functional status and caregiver burden. The study was conducted with 69 stroke patients (34 in the intervention group and 35 in the control group) and their caregivers. In the study, data were collected before discharge and three months after discharge. Discharge training and telephone counseling (one week after discharge and once a month for three months) were given to the caregivers of the patients in the intervention group.
This study evaluates an educational brochure tailored to caregivers of people with Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease dementia, Lewy body disease, frontotemporal dementia, and vascular disease dementia. The goal of the brochure is educating caregivers about the decreased ability to detect emotion and decreased empathy that can be seen in dementia, increasing caregiver competence in providing care, and teaching caregivers ways to manage over time that lessens burden and improves quality of life.
Caregivers of adults with dementia report higher stress, including anxiety and depressive symptoms, burden, and existential suffering, than caregivers of people with other chronic diseases.
The purpose of this study is to test a revised psychoeducational intervention to help Care Partners for family members with dementia understand and reduce the distressing behaviors that come with progressive dementia. Tele-STELLA (Support via TEchnology: Living and Learning with Advancing Alzheimer's disease and related dementias) is a multicomponent videoconference-based intervention designed to facilitate effective management of behavioral and psychological symptoms common to the later stages of dementia. In the Tele-STELLA intervention, professionals ("Guides") meet with family members ("Care Partners") who care for persons with dementia. Working together, the Care Partners and Guides identify strategies to address upsetting behaviors. The goal of this intervention is to reduce upsetting behaviors and, thus, Care Partner burden.
Test the usability, perceptions and acceptability of a computer monitor for participant diagnosed with ADRD and their caregiver who will program the applications specifically for each individual to help them remember activities of daily living. Goal is to keep participants in their homes longer and delay the need for institutional care
Vision loss is common among older adults and leads to an increased risk for depression and difficulties in daily tasks, thus requiring dependence on caregivers. This study will assess the feasibility of providing two virtual interventions, Sahaj Samadhi Meditation (SSM) and Health Enhancement Program (HEP), to supplement care of patients with irreversible age-related vision loss (IARVL) and their caregivers, with the goal of enhancing mental health and quality of life.
The current study builds on the empirical foundation of Mindful-Compassion Art Therapy (MCAT) to test its efficacy as a multicomponent, holistic, psycho-socio-spiritual intervention for supporting dementia family caregivers. MCAT is a group-based intervention that integrates mindfulness meditation and art therapy, with reflective awareness complementing emotional expression, to foster self-compassion and inner-resilience among professional caregivers. A wait-list RCT design is adopted to refine and extend the application of MCAT to empower self-care and resilience among 102 dementia family caregivers recruited via community-based dementia-care organizations in Singapore. The expected outcomes will advance theory and practice for sustainable dementia family caregiving in Singapore and around the globe.
Caregivers of people with stroke experience strain that can reduce their quality of life. Caregivers are routinely engaged during hospital discharge for education and training related to the person with stroke. However, the critical period after stroke survivor's discharge is largely unsupported for the caregiver. This proposed study is a randomized controlled trial that will provide post-discharge support for caregivers using a health coaching program as compared to usual care and examine its effect of caregivers and people with stroke.
