The purpose of this research study is to compare the effect of two different types of group wellness interventions for partner caregivers of individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI). The study is designed to evaluate how well these treatments can help TBI partner caregivers improve approach/avoidance behaviors.
A multi-site randomized controlled trial will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of two different types of group wellness interventions for partner caregivers of individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI). 92 participants will be recruited. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two wellness groups. Each group will involve six weekly 75-minute live video conference sessions as well as independent homework assignments that will be discussed in closed social media forums with peers and facilitators. Participants will complete self-report measures (approach and avoidance, anxiety, depression, caregiver appraisal, resilience, self efficacy, social integration, quality of life.) prior to intervention participation, within a week of class 6, and at 3-months post-intervention.. Intervention effectiveness will be determined by improvements between baseline and follow-up on a self-report measure of approach/avoidance behaviors.
