Wellness program for caregivers of patients with traumatic brain injuries

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

This intervention focuses on enhancing the well-being of caregivers who support individuals with moderate to severe traumatic brain injuries (msTBI). It aims to provide education, support, and skill-building for caregivers during the critical period shortly after the injury, particularly during care transitions like ICU discharge. The study will assess the feasibility and satisfaction of the CG-Well program compared to standard information and support services. By addressing the unique challenges faced by new caregivers, the program seeks to improve their health-related quality of life and reduce depressive symptoms.
