Caregiver intervention studies typically assess whether participants attain general goals (eg, improved mental/physical health) but not their own individual goals. We used goal attainment scaling to evaluate whether participants of a telephone intervention based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) attained their personal goals. We also evaluated treatment compliance and implementation.
A sample of 139 family caregivers of people with dementia received 12 telephone sessions over 6 months. Participants personal goals were specified during the first and second sessions. Participants and therapists assessed goal attainment at the end of the intervention.
Nearly all participants reported meaningful improvements with regard to their personal goals. Specifically, 20.9% exceeded, 56.4% completely attained, and 21.8% partially attained at least one of their personal goals. There was high agreement between self- and therapist ratings. Treatment compliance and implementation were highly satisfactory.
The CBT telephone intervention successfully helped participants attain their personal goals.
护理干预研究通常评估参与者是否达到一般目标(例如,改善心理/身体健康),而不是他们自己的个人目标。我们使用目标达成量表来评估基于认知行为疗法(CBT)的电话干预的参与者是否达到了他们的个人目标。我们还评估了治疗依从性和实施情况。
一项针对 139 名痴呆症患者家属的样本接受了 6 个月的 12 次电话咨询。参与者在第一和第二阶段期间指定了个人目标。参与者和治疗师在干预结束时评估目标的实现情况。
几乎所有参与者都报告在个人目标方面取得了有意义的进展。具体来说,20.9%的人超过了目标,56.4%的人完全实现了目标,21.8%的人至少部分实现了一个个人目标。自我评估和治疗师评估之间存在高度一致性。治疗依从性和实施情况非常令人满意。
CBT 电话干预成功地帮助参与者实现了他们的个人目标。
