COMA-F Program for Caregivers of Patients with Severe Acute Brain Injury
This study, called COMA-F, is for caregivers of people with severe acute brain injuries who are experiencing emotional distress. It aims to see if two different versions of a behavioral program, Coma Family Program 1 (which includes skills training) or Coma Family Program 2 (which provides education), can help reduce anxiety and depression more effectively than standard health education. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, speak English, and show signs of emotional distress on a specific screening test. The study plans to enroll 150 caregivers to understand which approach best supports their well-being. The current recruitment status is unclear.
