Caregivers Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Feasibility of Using a Mobile Application for Training and Support of Elder Caregivers
This pilot study will investigate the feasibility of using a digital health application, Communication, Learning, Advocacy, Resources and Expertise (CLARE), in training and support of family and friends (i.e., caregivers) of older adults with Covid in home caregiving, and in their self-care. The study's mixed method, one group, pre-post design will recruit 50 caregivers who are at least 65 years of age at Duke University Hospital. Caregivers must be the primary person who will aid patients at home after hospital discharge. The caregiver will receive a short message service (SMS) link and/or e-mail to download the digital health application on their own smartphone or tablet. The study team will guide the caregiver through features of the application including how to complete demographics questionnaire and surveys for caregiving preparedness, and how to reply to reminders. For data collection, the investigators will use CLARE analytics for feasibility analysis, interview data to determine modifiable factors that will enhance CLARE use, and pre-post preparedness in caregiving data to explore preliminary efficacy of CLARE.
