Summary

This study will test a problem-solving and support intervention for caregivers of veterans with stroke. The investigators will assign caregivers to one for four groups: 4-session intervention, 8-session intervention, attention control (active listening), or standard care. The investigators will assess the impact of the intervention on caregiver outcomes (depression, burden, stress, problem-solving abilities, self-efficacy, and quality of life) and veteran outcomes (functional abilities).

Conditions

  • Depression
  • Quality of Life
  • Recovery of Function
  • Self Efficacy
  • Stress

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Caregiver problem-solving

Registered nurses will conduct the combined Internet and telephone intervention condition. The intervention is based on the relational/problem-solving model of stress originally developed by D-Zurilla and Nezu. The investigators will modify the traditional, problem-solving intervention by adding web-based training using interactive modules, factsheets, and tools on our national RESCUE Stroke Caregiver website.

BEHAVIORAL

Attention Control

The RNs will only provide active listening and paraphrasing. The RNs will ask caregivers to talk about their caregiver experiences. The nurses will not provide advice, but rather direct caregivers to access information on the Caregiver Family Alliance website (www.caregiver.org) for managing problems or to contact their healthcare
