ABSTRACT
This purpose of quasi-experimental research was to examine effect of self-management support program on knowledge, burden of care, and stress of traumatic brain injury patient’s caregivers. The sample was caregivers of the moderate or severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. Purposive sampling was used to select 66 caregivers of TBI patients, and then these caregivers were divided to two groups as 33 of experimental and 33 of control groups by using matching sampling. The intervention was self-management support program. The instruments for collecting data consisted of 1) demographic data questionnaire for TBI patient and caregiver, 2) caregiver knowledge of care for TBI patient questionnaire (CGK), 3) caregiver burden scale (CGB), and 4) caregiver stress questionnaire (CGS). The reliability was tested. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of CGK, CGB, and CGS were 0.84, 0.80, and 0.80 respectively. Data analysis was performed by using Chi-Square test, Fisher’s exact test, Independent t-test, and Paired t-test
The results revealed that 1) A comparison of mean score of CGK CGB CGS in experimental group before and after intervention showed that the CGK mean score different with a statistical significance of .05 (p≤.001) while the CGB mean score and the CGS mean score different with a statistical significance (p <.001). 2) Regarding the comparison of the mean score between the experimental group and the control group, the results showed that after receiving the program, the CGK mean score in the experimental group was statistically significantly difference of the control group at .05 (p<.001). Furthermore, the CGB and CGS mean score were statistically significantly difference of the control group at .05 (p<.001). As a results, the self –management support program that included providing knowledge and management skills in caregiver’s of traumatic brain injury patients for increasing knowledge and also reduced burden of care and caregiver’s stress for caregivers of brain injury patients.
