入选标准

  • 18 years or older - study population
  • English fluency and literacy - measures and intervention are in English
  • Screens positive for emotional distress on either depression or anxiety subscales (>7) of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale - study population (caregivers must be at-risk for chronic distress via heightened acute distress)
  • Confirmed by the clinical team as the primary caregiver of a patient who has been admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) with a severe acute brain injury with the following characteristics:
  • 18 years or older - study population
  • Admitted with ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, or hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy - study population
  • Glasgow Coma Scale score below 9 (in judgement of the clinical team) while not intubated or an inability to follow meaningful commands while intubated at any point during the hospitalization for > 24 consecutive hours due to the brain injury itself and not a confounding factor (e.g., sedation or seizures) - study population
  • Still alive in ICU at the time the clinical team approaches the caregiver about possible recruitment - excludes caregivers of those that passed away as would require a different intervention (e.g., grieving intervention)
  • Has been committed to or has already received long-term life-sustaining treatments including tracheostomy and/or percutaneous endoscopic or surgical gastrostomy tube placement (trach or PEG) - study population; at time of enrollment patients can be in various early stages of cognitive/functional recovery from initial coma, but all were severe enough to require trach and/or PEG
  • Has a prognosis for survival of greater than 3 months and does not have a concurrent diagnosis of a terminal illness or injury as judged by the clinical team - as in "d"; such caregivers would require different intervention
  • Is still in ICU or has been transferred to a lower level of care (e.g., stepdown) for <7 days at the time of consent - study population; we aim to begin the intervention when caregivers are acutely distressed in the context of the patient's ICU stay or shortly after the ICU stay (i.e., within 7 days of leaving)

排除标准

  • 1. Serious mental illness, substance misuse, or active suicidal intent or plan - requires higher level of care

结局指标

主要结局

Hospital anxiety and depression scale

时间窗: baseline, 6-weeks, and 3-month follow-up

Measures anxiety and depression. Anxiety and depression sub scales each range from 0 (minimum) to 21 (maximum) with higher scores meaning worse outcome.

次要结局

  • Posttraumatic stress disorder checklist-5(baseline, 6-weeks, and 3-month follow-up)
