The Veterans Health Administration offers multiple programs to support veteran's caregivers. This study examines one such program, modeled after the national VHA Home Based Primary Care Program (HBPC). A retrospective secondary data analysis was conducted on the VHA GAP program, examining the impact on reducing caregiver burden. Findings from examination of 48 veteran/caregiver dyads indicated the program had a clinically and statistically significant impact on decreasing caregiver role strain. These findings were compared to the national evidence-based HBPC program, finding no significant differences in decrease of caregiver burden between the recipients of the GAP program and the national HBPC programs.
退伍军人健康管理局提供多个项目来支持退伍军人的护理人员。本研究考察了其中一个仿照全国退伍军人健康管理局居家初级保健项目（HBPC）设立的项目。对退伍军人健康管理局的GAP项目进行了回顾性二次数据分析，以考察其对减轻护理人员负担的影响。对48对退伍军人/护理人员二元组的调查结果表明，该项目在减轻护理人员角色压力方面具有临床和统计学上的显著影响。这些结果与全国循证HBPC项目进行了比较，发现GAP项目接受者和全国HBPC项目接受者在减轻护理人员负担方面没有显著差异。
