Community-based "powerful tools" intervention enhances health of caregivers.

Abstract:

:Family caregiving is prevalent and may have adverse impacts on health, particularly for elder caregivers who tend to have chronic health conditions which need ongoing self-management. Interventions that empower family caregivers to take care of themselves are needed. This study examined the impact on caregivers of participation in a self-care skill-building, self-efficacy enhancing, community-based program called powerful tools for caregiving (PTC). We assessed health-risk behaviors, self-care, and psychological well-being among 118 adult caregivers who participated in PTC in western Washington state between July 2001 and June 2004, about half of whom were aged 65 or older. Health-risk behaviors were reduced and self-care and psychological well-being improved significantly, overall and for each stratum of age (> or =65 years of age versus <65).
