Study Summary

For family members of chronically critically ill (CCI) patients, an ICU admission marks a significant milestone in the patient's illness trajectory that highlights the onset of end of-life issues and an abrupt need for family members to assume the caregiver role for the first time. Assuming the caregiver role can have devastating and longstanding health consequences for family members, which can impair their ability to sustain caregiving behaviors for a CCI patient. The unrelenting psychological distress perceived by caregivers of CCI patients is linked to significant reductions in their self-management and health outcomes. The purpose of this study is to evaluate a theoretically-derived Adaptive SenSor-Based Intervention for Caregiver Self-ManagemenT (ASSIST) intervention compared to an attention control condition for first time caregivers of CCI patients discharged to an extended care facility. One group will be exposed to the ASSIST intervention and will wear the sensor-based technology for 30 days and receive a daily dose of MMT. Biophysical sensor data (blood pressure, heart-rate variability, pedometry, and actigraphy) will be continuously acquired and analyzed using anomaly detection and machine learning techniques to vary the dose intensity (number of doses per day) of the two components of ASSIST adding a real-time, adaptive feature to promote caregiver self-management. The other group will wear the sensor-based technology for 30 days but will not receive the daily dose of MMT. The investigators will randomly assign participants to each group.
