Effect of a tailored multidimensional intervention on the care burden among family caregivers of stroke survivors: A randomised controlled trial

Introduction:

Caring for stroke survivors at home creates high levels of care burden among family caregivers. As the nature of caregiving is multidimensional, previous initiatives at alleviating the care burden using a single approach have not been adequate. It was recommended that future studies focus on tailored interventions that address the needs of family caregivers and combine different approaches to relieve caregivers’ burden. However, there is a lack of literature regarding interventions that incorporate these recommendations. The proposed study aims to evaluate the effect of a tailored multidimensional intervention developed by researchers to reduce the care burden among family caregivers of stroke survivors. Based on the perceived needs of family caregivers of stroke survivors, this intervention takes into account scientific recommendations to combine three different approaches: skill-building, psycho-education, and peer support.

引言：
居家照护脑卒中幸存者会给家庭照护者带来沉重的照护负担。由于照护工作本身具有多维度属性，以往采用单一手段缓解照护负担的相关举措尚未能达到理想效果。有研究建议，未来的研究应聚焦于贴合家庭照护者需求的个性化干预方案，并结合多种手段以减轻照护者的负担。然而，目前尚无相关文献报道符合上述建议的整合式干预方案。本研究旨在评估研究者开发的个性化多维度干预方案的效果，该方案用于减轻脑卒中幸存者家庭照护者的照护负担。该干预方案基于脑卒中幸存者家庭照护者的实际需求制定，结合了三项经科学验证的干预手段：技能培养、心理教育与同伴支持。
