Abstract
The objective of this research is to evaluate the evidence-informed support program (iSupport) developed by the World Health Organization, within the Canadian context. Specifically, using grant funding from the Canadian Institute of Health Research, we are evaluating the effectiveness of the iSupport module focused on caregiver self-efficacy and self-care (‘Caring for Me’). We are testing the overall usability of iSupport with family caregivers. This will be followed by a randomized controlled trial to determine the impact of the iSupport ‘Caring for Me’ module on caregiver outcomes such as self-efficacy and burden. Preliminary results of the usability study will be presented.
