Stress-Busting Program for Caregivers of Patients With Neruological Diseases

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Psychological Adaptation, Parkinson's Disease, Neurological Disorders

In brief

Although family caregivers perform an incredibly valuable service for their relatives and the formal health care system, they do so at a considerable cost to themselves both emotionally and physically. Effective stress management techniques can: 1) help to decrease the caregivers' feelings of burden and stress; 2) improve the emotional and physical health of caregivers; and 3) empower caregivers to gain control of their lives.
