Filter by:Two arm study, experimental and control, to explore the impact of an online training program to prepare community health workers conduct effective outreach to support African American and Latino male caregivers of older adults.
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.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of a family support program based on the nurse-led case management model on individuals providing care for patients who are confined to bed at home.
The purpose of this project is to test the impact of different forms of technology (virtual reality vs. video chat) on quality of life and family relationships in older adults who reside in senior living communities and an adult child who lives at a distance. The study will also investigate whether responses to the technology and quality of life outcomes depend on older adults' level of cognitive impairment.
Aims: The study will contribute to our understanding of how the cultivation of caregiver mindfulness might improve their overall relational well-being (Primary Outcome), their psychological well-being (Secondary Outcome), and have an impact on dementia patients' lifestyles (Other Outcome). Overall, this study will investigate the idea that the fruits of mindfulness training can be leveraged by both the caregiver and the care-recipient, improving the quality of relationship by making their interactions more mutual, connected, empathic and positive. This study aims to additionally elucidate which facets of mindfulness account for caregiver's happiness and psychological well-being. Sample: In this study 40 dementia caregivers will be recruited to participate; 20 will be allocated to the clinical intervention group (i.e., adapted MBSR for caregivers) and 20 to the active control group. Data will be collected pre-post the start of intervention, and at a 3 month follow up. Future orientation: This study may contribute to evidence-based knowledge concerning the efficacy of mindfulness based interventions to support caregiver empowerment, via regaining relationship satisfaction and achieving greater equanimity in the face of stressors.
This study asks: "what behavioral strategies are needed to help socially disconnected Hispanic/Latino 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 Hispanic/Latino caregivers. This study is a single-arm clinical trial of Social Engage psychotherapy. We propose to enroll 10 participants for up to 8 weekly individual Social Engage psychotherapy sessions, over up to 3 months. Subjects will be aged 40 and older, and be caregivers for a community-dwelling family member with ADRD, living with (or in close proximity to) the family member with dementia, experiencing elevated caregiving distress and social disconnectedness.
Caregiver burden is the response to the emotional, financial, physical, psychological, and social stressors associated with having to care for another family member. Previous studies have looked at the impact of caregiver burden in caregivers caring for loved ones dealing with long-term disease, such as dementia. The research has found that one in three caregivers suffer from depression, and experience high levels of stress and anxiety. However, these findings may not be relatable to the outpatient surgical setting. The purpose of this study is to find out how various factors such as the physical, emotional, social, and financial burden impact caregivers who are responsible for providing care to patients who are undergoing same-day surgical procedures that are traditionally performed as inpatient surgery. By understanding this potential burden on the caregiver, we hope that future healthcare improvements can be made to minimize this impact on the patients and their caregiver.
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.
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.
