Facilitating Caregiver Adaptation to Patient Institutionalization

Completed · Phase 3

Conditions studied: Dementia, Stroke, Heart Disease

In brief

This study will assess the effects of an intervention targeting family caregivers who recently placed a relative in a long-term care facility because of cognitive and/or physical disability. In a two group randomized clinical trial we predict that caregivers assigned to active treatment will have lower levels of depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and greater satisfaction with the long-term care facility when compared to individuals assigned to the control condition.
