Health and Wellness Coaching for Thoracic Transplant Caregivers
This pilot study is looking at how Health and Wellness Coaching can help primary caregivers of patients waiting for a heart or lung transplant. The coaching sessions will happen over the phone with a certified coach and will last up to 30 minutes. We want to see if this coaching can improve your self-efficacy (your belief in your ability to succeed in a situation) and reduce the burden of caregiving. You may be able to join if you are 18 or older and are the primary caregiver for a patient at Mayo Clinic in Rochester who is waiting for a lung, heart/lung, or heart transplant. The study aims to enroll 30 participants. We will measure changes in caregiver burden and self-efficacy after 10 weeks.

What this trial measures
- Caregiver Burden Scale (CBS)Completed at baseline and at study completion; 10 weeks after enrollment
The CBS is a 21-item questionnaire where caregivers rate responses based on perceived level of burden on a 0-4 Likert scale. Scores are summed with higher scores indicating greater caregiver burden. No or minimal burden: 0 to 20 Mild to moderate burden: 21 to 40 Moderate to severe burden: 41-60 Severe burden: 61 to 88
- Caregiver Self-Efficacy ScaleCompleted at baseline and at study completion; 10 weeks after enrollment
The Caregiver Self-Efficacy scale is a an 8-item questionnaire where caregivers rate their level of confidence on their ability to keep up with their own activities and caregiving situations using a 0-10 scale with 10 being totally confident. Total self-efficacy score is the mean of the eight items with higher scores indicating higher self-efficacy.
