Comparison of Two Interventions for Caregivers of Patients With Acquired Brain Injury

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Acquired Brain Injury

In brief

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare effectiveness of two interventions for family caregivers of patients with acquired brain injury who are transitioning home after inpatient rehabilitation. The main question it aims to answer is whether these interventions reduce caregiver stress and burden, compared to usual care. Secondary effects include the impact on caregivers' depressive symptoms and perceived self-efficacy as a caregiver. The study will also try to determine if caregivers will engage in these interventions during the acute (inpatient rehabilitation) stage of injury. Participants in the study are family members of the ABI patient, aged 18 year or older, who will be responsible for the patient's care and supervision once discharged home from inpatient rehabilitation. The two interventions, one clinician-led and one peer-led, will be compared to usual care.
