Description
Robyn Birkeland and co-authors pilot-tested a telehealth coaching program for family caregivers who face both dementia and a past brain injury in the person they care for, in a 2023 study. Both conditions strain caregivers' emotional and physical health, and this overlap group is rarely served directly. The six-session program covers the two diseases, stress management, lifestyle planning, and communication skills.
Working with two medical centers, the team enrolled fifteen care partners for the design phase. Surveys at three months and interviews afterward judged the program feasible, useful, and acceptable. Caregivers valued the tailored coaching, the authors report, and the study sets up a fuller trial.
