Abstract
Objective: To examine the effects of the enrichment events in daily life enhancement program on Positive Aspects of Caregiving (PAC) among stroke family caregivers.
Materials and methods: Participants consisted of 50 stroke family caregivers who met the inclusion criteria and were randomly selected to either an experimental group (n = 25) and a control group (n = 25). The experimental group joined the enrichment events in daily life enhancement program, while the control group received standard care. The research instruments included the enrichment events in daily life enhancement program and the PAC questionnaire. The data collection was conducted from May to July 2024. Descriptive statistics, t-test, two-way repeated measure ANOVA, and Bonferroni’s pairwise comparison were employed to analyze the data.
Results: The mean scores of PAC in the experimental group were statistically and significantly higher than the control group at the post-test (p<.01) and 4-weeks follow-up (p<.001). Moreover, the mean scores of PAC within the experimental group were statistically and significantly different at the pre-test, post-test, and 4-weeks follow-up period (p<.001).
Conclusions: This program was effective to enhance the positive aspects of caregiving among stroke family caregivers.
