简要总结
Caregivers of persons with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) face increased risk of psychological distress, health problems, reduced quality of life, relationship strain, and restrictions in social and work participation. Military caregivers (Family Caregivers of wounded or disabled Veterans) reported similar negative effects of becoming a caregiver on their physical and mental health.
Using results from our previous work in mHealth interventions for individuals with SCI, we developed a dual-target intervention for both individuals with SCI and their caregivers.
The overall objective of this research study is to conduct translational research focused on adapting and tailoring the interactive Mobile Health and Rehabilitation (iMHere) 2.0 system to meet the needs of Veterans with SCI and their family caregivers, expanding the psychosocial intervention, and evaluating the feasibility of implementing the iMHere system among Veterans with SCI and their family caregivers.
详细描述
The overall objective of this project is to conduct translational research focused on adapting and tailoring the iMHere 2.0 system to meet the needs of Veterans with SCI and their FCGs, expanding the psychosocial intervention, and evaluating the feasibility of implementing the iMHere system among Veterans with SCI and their Family Caregivers (FCGs). The specific aims of this project are:
Aim 1: To adapt and tailor the iMHere 2.0 system through a codesign process specifically tailored to meet the needs of Veterans with SCI and their FCGs.
The iMHere 2.0 system was designed for the general population of individuals with SCI, spina bifida, and cerebral palsy age 12 through adulthood. "Codesign" refers to a participatory approach to designing solutions in which participants are treated as equal collaborators in the design process. Codesign means designing with, not for, the participants (Veterans with SCI and their FCGs).
Aim 2: To refine and co-develop the psychosocial dual-target intervention model within iMHere 2.0 to cater specifically to Veterans with SCI and their FCGs.
We have conducted preliminary work on psychosocial interventions both for caregivers and care recipients. In this aim, we plan to expand the existing interventions by combining the materials that have been developed in the previous projects with co-design process of Aim 1 to achieve a user-centered, dual-target intervention that meets the needs of Veterans with SCI and their FCGs.

结局指标
主要结局
Ratio of actionable feedback to system integration
时间窗: From enrollment to end of study completion approximately 6 months
The study will collect actionable feedback and the needs of veterans with SCI and their family caregivers and implement them into the iMHere Mobile Health App system. We will measure the ratio between actionable feedback and needs of veterans with SCI and their family caregivers to the system integration.
次要结局
- Participant Satisfaction(At the end of study participation approximately 6 months after enrollment)
