Caregiver Self-Management Needs Through Skill-Building
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Telephone Assessment and Skill-Building Kit (TASK III) Group and Information Support and Referral (ISR) Group for Family Caregivers and Stroke. Completed, enrolled 74 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Caring for a family member after a stroke can be very difficult and worsen the physical and mental health of untrained caregivers. The Telephone Assessment and Skill-Building Kit (TASK III) intervention is a unique, comprehensive caregiver intervention program that enables caregivers to develop the necessary skills to manage care for the survivor, while also taking care of themselves. The long-term goal of this study is to offer training and support for family caregivers through an efficacious, cost-effective program.
