To examine the effect of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) on the quality of life (QOL) of older adults with complicated grief (CG) over time. Subanalysis of a randomized controlled trial. Older adult, former caregivers were recruited from a large hospice in the southeastern United States to be treated with ART for CG. The CDC Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) Healthy Days Module was administered pre-, post-, and eight weeks after therapy. The subsample consisted of 27 older adults. A multilevel model indicated a statistically significant, negative difference of 8.21 (improvement) in QOL scores for each period of data collection (β = -8.21, = 4.02, < 0.001). Both the intervention (11%, = 0.013) and time (7.8%, growth curve = 0.014) contributed significantly. There was a significant large effect of ART on CG. This study supports concurrent improved patient-related outcome-QOL.
探讨加速康复治疗(ART)对老年复杂性悲伤(CG)患者生活质量(QOL)的影响。随机对照试验的亚组分析。从美国东南部的一家大型临终关怀医院招募了老年前照顾者,为他们提供 CG 的 ART 治疗。在治疗前、治疗后和治疗后八周,使用 CDC 健康相关生活质量(HRQOL)健康天数模块进行评估。亚组包括 27 名老年人。多层次模型表明,每个数据收集期的 QOL 评分均有统计学上显著的负向差异 8.21(改善)(β=-8.21, = 4.02, < 0.001)。干预(11%, = 0.013)和时间(7.8%,增长曲线 = 0.014)均有显著贡献。ART 对 CG 有显著的大影响。这项研究支持同时改善与患者相关的结果-QOL。
