Brief Summary:
With loss of mobility in multiple sclerosis MS comes an increase in amount and types of caregiver assistance with a concomitant increase in burden for the caregiver In fact effect on caregiver burden can be seen as a potential indicator of the efficacy of MS management suggesting that the caregiver is an appropriate and independent target for MS therapeutic strategies
MS patients report difficulty implementing and continuing with home exercise mobility and walking programs This feasibility study will test integration of a successful behavioral caregiving intervention into clinical practice to improve functioning of Veterans with multiple sclerosis MS and their Caregivers Caregivers of Veterans with MS will receive a behavioral caregiver intervention designed to address caregiver coping and management of patient concerns with special focus on patient mobility and walking A pre-post intervention design will compare outcomes for Veterans and Caregivers
For Veterans the intervention will target Caregiver participation in home-based Veteran mobility activities MS Caregivers report high burden stress and depression involved in caring for their loved ones especially as mobility declines and these outcomes are related to physical and emotional health status of the patient For Caregivers the intervention will focus on improving Caregiver coping and on managing MS-related problems Outcomes for both will be measured at baseline 3 months and 6 months
Study Objectives include
Test whether a caregiver intervention can be integrated into an MS clinical setting
Determine whether Caregiver outcomes are improved depression burden anxiety and number of Veteran MS problems and safety alerts reported
Determine whether Veteran outcomes are improved Expanded Disability Status Scale timed up and go test self-efficacy and depression
Determine which types of Caregivers will benefit most
Determine which types of Veterans will benefit most
Refine materials for future clinical research translation and implementation
