Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The primary CARE-CITE components will be education via web platform. Carepartners complete 6 online CARE-CITE modules (15-30-minute sessions each). The modules include demonstration videos and instructive content covering following areas: principles of functional task practice (i.e., activities of daily living such as eating, grooming, or leisure/vocational activities), adaptation of tasks, and importance of progression of challenging tasks to drive neuroplasticity (i.e., increasing numbers of practice repetitions or weight of objects lifted). Underpinning the content is the concept of autonomy support, with examples of fostering empathy, problem solving, instruction in the use of non-controlling language with role playing situations and the importance of creating choice in activities.
The carepartner will receive a support brochure with general caregiving information including website resources to mimic web interaction of intervention group (e.g., stroke caregiver resource site).
