研究概览

简要总结

The goal of this pilot study is to learn if virtual peer support groups and strengths-based skills training can help family caregivers of ICU survivors providing ongoing support to ICU survivors after hospital discharge. The main question it aims to answer is:

  • Are virtual peer support groups and/or strengths-based skills support feasible and acceptable for family caregivers of ICU survivors? Researchers will compare the intervention group (virtual peer support groups or strengths-based skills training) to the control group (no intervention) to see if the interventions improve caregiver outcomes and assess feasibility and acceptability.

Participants will:

  • Participate in either virtual peer support groups or strengths-based skills training sessions (if assigned to the intervention arm).
  • Provide feedback on the feasibility and acceptability of the interventions (if assigned to the intervention arm).
  • Complete surveys and follow-up questionnaires (either online or by phone) to measure outcomes.

结局指标

主要结局

Caregiver Burden - The Zarit Burden Interview-12 (ZBI-12) - 3 months

时间窗: 3 months post-enrollment or post intervention initiation

A 12-item self-report tool that has been validated for measuring the level of caregiver burden related to care provision. Each item in the ZBI-12 is scored on a five-point Likert scale from 0 to 4 (0=never to 4=nearly always). Summed scores range from 0-48, with greater scores representing greater feelings of burden.
