Summary
The goal of this study is to evaluate the effect of a family-centered support program on the care burden, depressive symptoms, perceived social support, and quality of life of stroke survivor' caregivers and on care recipients' rehabilitation adherence and depressive symptoms.
Detailed description
The family-centered support program included stroke and rehabilitation education, problem-solving skills training, long-term care information support, and instant messaging applications-based 24-h peers-support group for caregivers. Investigators hypothesized that (1) Compared with those in the control group, caregivers who undergo a family-centered support program have lower care burdens, do not have a high risk of depression, and perceive better social support and quality of life; (2) Compared with those in the control group, care recipients in the family-centered support group have ideal rehabilitation adherence and are not at a high risk of depression.

Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| OTHER | Family-centered support program for caregivers of stroke survivors | Once participants joined the family-centered support group, participants received 90-minute interventions, including an introduction to stroke and rehabilitation education, problem-solving skills training, and long-term care information. Investigators also invited participants to join the instant messaging application-based 24-h peer-support group for caregivers. On the second and fourth days after receiving the interventions, the researcher visited the participants to review and practice the content provided on the first day; each session was 30 to 40 minutes long. The researcher contacted the participants one week after participants joined the study to discuss their care difficulties or experiences and did so three times biweekly thereafter via the instant messaging application. |
