Patients admitted to the Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit (Neuro-ICU) with acute neurological illnesses (ANI; e.g., stroke, tumor, TBI) and their informal caregivers experience high rates of anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress. To address this need, we previously developed the Recovering Together (RT) dyadic intervention to help prevent chronic emotional distress in both patients and caregivers. Currently, we are conducting a fully-powered, single-blind randomized clinical trial (RCT) to evaluate the efficacy of RT versus an attention matched health education control. Here, we describe the protocol and current status of this RCT. We aim to recruit 194 at risk patient-caregiver dyads from the Neuro-ICU at MGH. Eligible dyads include patients diagnosed with ANI, cognitively intact, at least one partner endorses emotional distress (on Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), English speaking, age 18 or older. Dyads are randomized to the intervention (RT-1) or control condition (RT-2) (both six sessions). RT-1 teaches resiliency (e.g., coping, mindfulness) and interpersonal skills. RT-2 provides education on health-related topics (e.g., stress, self-care, adhering to medical recommendations). Blinded research assistants collect measures at baseline, post-intervention, and three months follow-up. We will conduct mixed linear, mediation, and actor-partner interdependence models to examine changes in dyads’ outcomes across time. We have recruited 41 dyads and aim to recruit 194 total. If successful, we plan to test RT in a large-scale, multisite hybrid effectiveness-implementation study in Neuro-ICUs across the country. Enhancing psychosocial supports for patients and families could improve health outcomes, healthcare efficiency, and the culture of these units.
