Study Summary
In this study, an intervention is tested that is designed to improve the outcomes of hospitalized elders and family caregivers. Study design: * randomized, controlled study * participants: 280 family caregivers aged 21 or above * length of follow-up: 2 weeks and 2 months after hospitalization Study hypothesis: In this randomized clinical trial, the following hypotheses will be tested: 1. Hospitalized elders whose family CGs receive the CARE program versus those who receive a comparison program will have better outcomes during and after hospitalization as measured by: (1) fewer incidents of dysfunctional syndrome; (2) shorter hospital stays; (3) lower readmission rates; (4) less depressive symptoms; (5) higher cognitive level; (6) less functional decline perceived by family CG; and (7) a closer relationship with their family CGs. 2. Family CGs of hospitalized elders who receive the CARE program will report: (1) More positive beliefs about their loved one's responses to hospitalization and their role in the hospital setting; (2) more positive emotional outcomes (less worry, anxiety, and depressive symptoms) during and after hospitalization; (3) More participation in their loved one's care during hospitalization; and (4) More positive role outcomes (more role reward, less role strain, more prepared for their loved one's care, and a closer relationship with their elderly relatives, both during and after hospitalization). 3. The proposed model to explain the effects of the CARE program on the process and outcomes of family CG coping and elderly patient outcomes will be supported for CGs and elderly patients.
