Brief Summary:
This pilot study will utilize a longitudinal concurrent mixed-methods research design that gathers and analyzes qualitative and quantitative data overtime about a new 10-session financial coaching program the investigators have developed The data collected will be used to inform improvements to future related studies and programs for people living with acquired brain injury ABI
These mixed-methods data from each method will be integrated to provide a comprehensive understanding of the intervention ie the financial coaching program Each individualized intervention per ABI-survivor participant will be completed over 3-4 months ie 12-14 weeks
These mixed-methods data from each method will be integrated to provide a comprehensive understanding of the intervention ie the financial coaching program Each individualized intervention per ABI-survivor participant will be completed over 3-4 months ie 12-14 weeks
Detailed Description:
The people to be recruited in the study include
1 Adults living with acquired brain injuries ABI ABI-survivor participant and
2 Close or trusted others of the adult participants who live with ABI involvement with the consent of the adult living with ABI Close-other support person
The investigators will recruit participants through community partner organizations The principal investigator Dr Engel has established relationship with community organizations
The primary participants for this study are adults who live with Acquired Brain Injury ABI ie ABI-survivor participants However with the consent and guidance of the ABI-survivor participants the investigators will invite up to one close-other eg caregiver family involved friend of the ABI-survivor participant to take part in the study as a support-person in the intervention with the ABI-survivor participant involvement of close-others is described more below
The investigators will recruit up to five ABI-survivors n5 each who may or may not have a support person involved in the study This sample size will be sufficient to generate required information for the study aim and objectives as there will be some homogeneity to the sample ie adults living with ABI while also looking for heterogeneity in other participant qualities ie gender age time since first brain injury
The total time in this study for an ABI-survivor participant is 10 hours and 15 minutes which includes 75 hours of intervention time and 275 hours of data collection time
This is an individualized in-person 10-session financial coaching intervention program Each session is 45-minutes In total participants will be asked to participate in up to 7 hours and 30 minutes of intervention time with a trained Occupational Therapist Each session will happen 1-15 weeks apart and the financial coaching program will last over 3-4 months
The Financial Coaching Program FCp will consist of 10 sessions that will last 45-minutes per session Each session will be in a 11 format with the participant and financial coach ie interventionist who is a trained and registered Occupational Therapist Participants are welcome to invite a close other eg family caregiver friend to attend and participate in sessions as a support person and as agreed upon during informed consent and while getting started in the study although at any time the participant can choose to not include or stop including their close other for some or all of the remaining FCp sessions
FCp sessions will take place in a variety of spaces dependent on the participants preference Sessions can be completed in the participants home the meeting spaces of the Manitoba Brain Injury Association or office space in the College of Rehabilitation Science building Sessions can take place in another community space if requested by the participant
The FCp will follow a Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance CO-OP format The CO-OP method will focus on building skills through the development and use of cognitive strategies These problem-solving strategies can then be used to improve performance in other aspects of daily life and in new situations The FCp financial coaches have been trained in CO-OP basics online course and completed the certificate consolidation course
During the FCp sessions the participant will work with a financial coach to practice problem solving skills and work toward achieving 3 financial goals 2 of these goals will be addressed directly during multiple FCp sessions and 1 goal will be unaddressed or untrained only to be discussed in the last session related to generalization of learning to other goals The financial coach will not instruct participants but will instead work collaboratively with them to develop strategies and action plans The participant and financial coach will agree on homework assignments to complete between sessions which will be reviewed at the beginning of each subsequent session
The FCp will be facilitated by a financial coach Ie intervnetionists who will be a paid research staff member and part of the research team identified in the informed consent forms The financial coach is an occupational therapist with experience working with individuals with brain injury The financial coaches hired for this study have completed the following additional training
