Interventions for Parent Caregivers of Injured Military/Veteran Personnel
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating REACH Individual Session and Education Webinar for Stress Disorders, Post-Traumatic and Brain Injuries, Traumatic. Completed, enrolled 163 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This randomized clinical trial will test a behavioral caregiving intervention that has been used successfully for dementia and spinal cord injury caregivers to provide services to stressed and burdened parent caregivers of post 9/11 service members/veterans. This intervention is six intensive individual sessions that will teach problem solving, cognitive restructuring and stress reduction targeted to an individual assessment of the care dyad's needs. It will be compared to another method of delivering content, education webinar sessions, which are analogous to the usual standard of care and will function as an attention control arm. The objective of the study is to determine which of these delivery mechanisms is more effective at helping parent caregivers of injured post 9/11 returning troops to improve their depression, anxiety, and burden, and to determine the feasibility of using individual sessions with this population of caregivers.
