Condition: Chronic Medical Conditions · Sponsor: VA Office of Research and Development
The majority of Veterans will suffer from at least one chronic illness, often at great emotional and personal cost. Self-management is critical to improving physical and emotional outcomes, and many chronically ill Veterans receive self-management assistance from an informal caregiver, and both Veterans and informal caregivers experience individual and interpersonal stress as they navigate this journey. Yet, current clinical practices are not designed to effectively support the needs of both Veterans and their informal caregiver. Furthermore, self-management practices often require in-person visits, limiting access for Veterans and informal caregivers who live in rural areas, those with a physical disability, or those with financial challenges. This project tests a web-based, self-guided, behavioral intervention that targets the stress coping needs of Veterans with chronic illness and their informal caregivers. Results from this study could provide an important solution to the problem of poor self-management, which complicates the lives and prognosis of many Veterans.
