Telemedicine Brain Injury Coping Skills (BICS-T) Support Group for Brain Injury Survivors and Caregivers
Abstract
For phase II, the objective is to compare the effectiveness of BICS-T with the well-established BICS in-person group. Information gained from phase I (the feasibility study) was used to make necessary changes to the BICS-T protocol.
The purpose of this study is to provide survivors of brain injury and caregivers greater support and teach adaptive coping strategies, through a designed and studied a coping skills group specifically for brain injury survivors and their caregivers at the Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana (RHI) called the Brain Injury Coping Skills group (BICS).
Conditions: Traumatic Brain Injury, Coping Skills, Caregivers.
Primary outcome: Brain Injury Self-Efficacy Scale (BICS-Q).
Enrollment: 49 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 49 participants or records.
