Brief Summary:
The purpose of this trial is to determine if a family intervention administered by telephone to stroke patients and their caregivers increases adaptation and functioning after stroke
Detailed Description:
Stroke is a major health problem which affects an estimated half million persons each year In many cases family members assume the long-term burden of care after hospital discharge Methods such as family education peer support groups and counseling are available to help meet the needs of caregivers by enhancing their coping abilities Family intervention also potentially benefits patients by improving the quality of caregiving skills Few investigations have examined the benefits of family intervention methods
This trial will study the effectiveness of a family-based telephone-administered intervention called Family Intervention Telephone Tracking FITT for acute stroke patients and their caregivers Study patients will be recruited from those admitted to the Rhode Island Hospital following an acute stroke All patients and caregivers will receive standard medical care In addition these patients and their caregivers will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment conditions FITT or no intervention Treatments will begin once the patient returns home and will continue for a six-month period
During the trial specially trained staff will carefully monitor the progress of the stroke patient and hisher family member checking for changing in thinking concentration attention memory mood and family functioning that sometimes occurs in stroke Participants will be contacted by telephone every week for 6 weeks then every 2 weeks for 2 months and then monthly for 2 months The telephone calls will check on how the participants are doing after discharge and will assist with questions and concerns
