Description
Janet Lopez and co-authors test a Spanish-language support program for people caring for veterans after stroke, in this 2025 report. Hispanic caregivers report heavier burden and worse mental health than other groups. Problem-solving programs had helped other caregivers, but none was shaped for Spanish-speaking Hispanic families. The trial signed up 210 caregivers at three veterans' medical centers.
Caregivers got eight phone sessions with online materials from a trained helper, or standard center resources. Most participants were women, and nearly half were spouses or partners. The program group cut caregiver burden far more than the standard group at both follow-up checks. The authors say better coping, problem-solving, and support drove the gain. They call for more work to close gaps in fair care for this group.
