BEHAVIORAL

Problem-Solving Thearpy

The problem-solving therapy (PST)-based intervention consists of nine, 60-90 minute educational sessions conducted face-to-face via the Internet (through video conferencing software) approximately 2 weeks apart. After attending a preliminary 15 minute "meet \& greet" session, participants received written and verbal education about solving everyday problems. Together, the participant and interventionist complete the 7-steps to solve at least one problem together before ending the training. Participants keep a record of their problem-solving efforts between sessions and questions they had related to the application of PST. These records were used as a basis for discussion during the PST training sessions.
