Codeveloping a Novel Intervention to Promote the Well-Being of Family Caregivers of Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury: Protocol for a Feasibility Randomized Control Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Family caregivers of individuals with spinal cord injury (fcSCI) provide assistance with activities of daily living for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI), which can include emotional support and physical assistance. Over time, providing daily support can put fcSCI at risk of experiencing caregiver burden. This burden can have a substantial impact on fcSCI's well-being. A direct predictor of the fcSCI burden is their appraisal of their ability to cope with the individual with SCI. Therefore, supporting fcSCI's access to education relevant to their role and the health and well-being of the individual with SCI can help decrease this burden.

Objective

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the fidelity of the COMPANION intervention and its study protocol des
