Interventions for Parent Caregivers of Injured Military/Veteran Personnel
Abstract
This randomized clinical trial of 160 parent caregivers of combat wounded adult children, half in each arm, will compare 6 30-minute online webinars to 6 one-hour individual sessions modeled on the REACH VA caregiver intervention, focusing on education, skills building and support over three months. Hypotheses were Education Webinar arm participants will improve on outcomes, including depression, anxiety, and burden and REACH (Resources for Enhancing All Caregivers Health) individual sessions, compared to Education Webinars, will be more effective in improving outcomes. Study aims were to Determine effective strategies for providing education, skills building and support for stressed and burdened parent caregivers of injured returning service members; Determine feasibility of conducting interventions with parent caregivers; Determine characteristics of those recruited; Determine satisfaction; Determine commitment and adherence to therapeutic recommendations; and Develop manuals for clinical translation. Data were collected at baseline, 3, and 6 months.
