Summary

Family caregivers of individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) provide the majority of care and are at high risk of experiencing caregiver burden, which not only impacts caregivers' own wellbeing, but also their ability to respond to patients' needs. Health education using online approaches (eHealth) has the potential to improve quality of care, enhance communication between health care users and providers, reduce costs and increase access to existing knowledge and education for family caregivers. Here, the investigators propose a research study to assess the quality of the eHealth program. The findings of this study will lead to the refinement of the eHealth program.
