Kein Eingriff: Attention Control
This group receives standard care with the attention of social support/ "friendly interactions" and serves as an attention control group.
|
|
|
Experimental: Intervention Group 1 (Face to Face)
This group receives Problem Solving Therapy in face to face visits.
|
Problem-solving therapy (PST) focuses on behavioral change principles derived from this theoretical framework.
PST addresses four skills: 1) problem definition and formulation, which involves gathering data and information, articulating the issue in clear terms, identifying the challenge, and setting realistic goals; 2) generation of alternative strategies; 3) decision making; and 4) solution implementation.
The intervention is delivered in a series of interactions with the interventionist.

Caregiver Anxiety: Change From Baseline to Post-Intervention Exit
Zeitfenster: At Baseline and Exit (approximately 4 weeks after recruitment)
|
Caregiver anxiety was measured with the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) Scale (Spitzer et al., 2006), which measures the frequency with which respondents experience symptoms of anxiety such as restlessness, difficulty relaxing, and uncontrollable worrying.
The GAD-7 total scores range from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating more anxiety.

Caregiver Quality of Life - Physical: Change From Baseline to Post-Intervention Exit
Zeitfenster: At Baseline and Exit (approximately 4 weeks after recruitment)
|
An interview CQLI version was developed by using identical items from the paper-based CQLI and replacing the visual analogue response format with a 0-10 response scale.
Higher scores indicate better physical quality of life.
