Informational Needs of Caregivers of Patients in Neuro Rehab: Validating the QBI-R/V

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Researchers will enroll about 255-300 Italian caregivers of patients with neuromotor diseases in neurorehabilitation wards to complete the QBI-R within 10 days of hospital admission and the QBI-V at discharge. The goal is to validate the QBI-R/V as a tool for assessing caregivers’ informational needs across the entire hospitalization trajectory. Data will be analyzed descriptively to characterize needs and satisfaction with information provided. The study emphasizes a patient-centered approach, aiming to support caregiver self-management and transition planning from hospital to home.
