Summary

This randomized clinical trial (RCT) intends to look at the preliminary efficacy of NOVELA (intervention group) in changing anxiety and self-efficacy compared to usual hospice care (control group). In the NOVELA intervention, hospice care will be enhanced with the telenovela videos for hospice family caregivers (HFCG) education during twice weekly hospice telehealth visits to prepare caregivers for proper use of hospice support and healthcare services.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

NOVELA

The family caregivers that consent to participate will work with the interventionist to use a web-enabled device (computer, smartphone or tablet) to access and view the telenovela video (one of four episodes, each 3-6 mins) twice per week over the course of 4 hospice telehealth visits (one episode per visit). All four visits will use telehealth via video-conferencing. The number of visits is based on the number of videos which content is prioritized based on previous work. The interventionist will introduce the purpose and topic of the video, facilitate video viewing and then elicit clarifying questions and reinforce main message.
