简要总结
Older adults caring for others often neglect their own health. This research is being done to see if helping caregivers focus on their own needs can improve their health and ability to care for others
详细描述
The specific aims are to evaluate the Care4U intervention in order to refine the intervention for a larger clinical trial, which includes 1) subject acceptability of the intervention, 2) evaluation of intervention delivery, fidelity, and data collection, and 3) evaluation of the components of the intervention (patient activation, knowledge, self-efficacy, and CV self-management strategies).
Recruitment was conducted in 2 acute care hospitals from April 2013 through Dec 2013. Six caregivers were enrolled during this time, with one dropping out after baseline.
The participants completing the study (n=5) provided data related to the aim. Four participants were able to use Adobe Connect via the provided laptops with written instructions and phone coaching. Delivery of the intervention via Adobe connect was enjoyed by the participants, with minimal connectivity problems. Participants were interested in websites and videos related to their health, but did not relate exploring these links on the laptop desktop without suggestion from the PI.
