DESCRIPTION: Sarah Blanton, PT, DPT, NCS, is clinical specialist in neurorehabilitation committed to a research career investigating effective methods to facilitate the integration of the carepartner in rehabilitation of the stroke survivor. A K23 award will build upon a strong foundation of prior training and research and provide the candidate an opportunity to gain advanced education and experience through a multidisciplinary team of experts. The immediate goals of this Mentored Patient Oriented Research Career Award (K23) are to allow the candidate to gain the skills needed in: (1) advanced clinical research design and statistical methods and (2) psychological theories of self-management and adult learning to perform and evaluate carepartner-centered interventions for stroke survivors and their families. The candidate’s long-term goals are to become an independently funded clinical researcher with expertise in innovative strategies for advancing and expanding the role of carepartner education and the integration of physical therapists in family-centered care. ENVIRONMENT: Dr. Blanton’s training will use resources and mentors from Emory University, Georgia State University and Georgia Institute of Technology. Dr. Dunbar and Dr. Clark are internationally recognized researchers in caregiving research and will provide guidance in potential behavioral mechanisms underlying carepartner responses to treatment, study methodology and design, and interpretation of outcome data. Through coursework and mentorship with Dr.Lyles, she will gain expertise in data management and statistical analysis. Dr.Wolf will provide guidance in grant writing and stroke rehabilitation interventions and Mr. Jones will offer mentorship in telerehabilitation approaches. She will continue learning about study methodology and data management through additional coursework and will attend seminars, professional conferences and meetings to complete her training. RESEARCH: Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability and creates significant societal and familial strain. Family members are a key component in stroke recovery, but they frequently experience high levels of burden, including increased anxiety, depression and social isolation when they assume the role of carepartner. Thus, effective interventions aimed at reducing the impact of stroke on the family are needed. The objective of this proposal is to evaluate a novel, carepartner focused intervention (CARECITE) designed to foster problem solving and skill building while facilitating carepartner involvement in the application of constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) for the upper extremity. This psychoeducational intervention is structured to provide general stroke recovery content (e.g. post-stroke depression) and enhance the home-based application of CIMT by teaching the carepartner ways to foster a more therapeutic, autonomy-supportive environment (characterized by empathy, problemsolving, choice and reduction of controlling language). The central hypothesis underpinning this research is that a theory-based, carepartner-centered intervention focused on skill building and problemsolving will improve stroke survivor physical function while reducing carepartner negative outcomes and increasing accessibility of participation. [To test this hypothesis and the feasibility of CARE-CITE in the home setting, we will use a two-group experimental design with 32 intervention dyads (CIMT with structured carepartner involvement) and 16 control dyads (CIMT without structured carepartner involvement) to quantify the effects on carepartner mental health, family conflict surrounding stroke recovery, and stroke survivor upper extremity function. Evaluators will be blind to group assignment. Results of this study will provide preliminary estimates of the intervention efficacy for use in larger, future clinical studies.] The innovation of this research involves the tailoring of a stroke survivor therapy intervention to also address carepartner needs and the use of contemporary telehealth technology to facilitate engagement of the family within the home environment. The findings of this project will provide critical data that can aid in the development of future larger-scale studies exploring family centered care in stroke. RELEVANCE TO PUBLIC HEALTH: The overall significance of this research plan is to increase understanding and further development of interventions that may serve as models in rehabilitation to foster family involvement in the rehabilitation process and to promote more integrative therapy strategies throughout physical therapy practice.

描述：Sarah Blanton，PT，DPT，NCS，是致力于神经康复的临床专家， 研究职业调查有效的方法，以促进护理伙伴的整合， 中风幸存者的康复。K23奖项将建立在先前培训的坚实基础上， 研究并为候选人提供机会，以获得先进的教育和经验， 多学科专家团队。这项指导性患者导向研究的近期目标 职业奖（K23）是让候选人获得所需的技能：（1）先进的临床研究 设计和统计方法;（2）自我管理和成人学习的心理学理论， 为中风幸存者及其家人实施并评估以护理伙伴为中心的干预措施。的 候选人的长期目标是成为一名独立资助的临床研究人员， 促进和扩大护理伙伴教育和融合作用的创新战略 物理治疗师在以家庭为中心的护理。 环境：布兰顿博士的培训将使用来自格鲁吉亚埃默里大学的资源和导师 州立大学和格鲁吉亚理工学院。邓巴博士和克拉克博士在国际上 公认的研究人员在研究，并将提供指导，在潜在的行为 护理伙伴对治疗反应的潜在机制、研究方法和设计，以及 结果数据的解释。通过课程和莱尔斯博士的指导，她将获得 数据管理和统计分析方面的专门知识。沃尔夫博士将提供指导，在赠款写作和 中风康复干预和琼斯先生将提供远程康复方法的指导。 她将通过其他途径继续学习研究方法和数据管理。 课程，并将参加研讨会，专业会议和会议，以完成她的培训。 研究：中风是成人残疾的主要原因，并造成重大的社会和家庭问题。 株家庭成员是中风恢复的关键组成部分，但他们经常经历高风险。 负担水平，包括在承担这一角色时增加的焦虑、抑郁和社会孤立 护理伙伴因此，旨在减少中风对家庭影响的有效干预措施是 needed.本提案的目的是评价一种新型的以护理伙伴为中心的干预（CARECITE） 旨在促进问题解决和技能培养，同时促进护理伙伴参与 限制性运动疗法（CIMT）在上肢的应用。这种心理教育 干预被构造成提供一般中风恢复内容（例如，中风后 抑郁症），并通过教授护理伙伴如何 培养一个更具治疗性、支持性的环境（以同理心、解决问题、 控制语言的选择和减少）。支撑这一观点的核心假设 一项以理论为基础，以护理伙伴为中心的干预措施，重点是技能培养和解决问题 将改善中风幸存者的身体功能，同时减少护理伙伴的负面结果， 增加参与的机会。[To测试这一假设和CARE-CITE的可行性 在家庭环境中，我们将使用两组实验设计，其中有32个干预配对（CIMT与 结构化护理伙伴参与）和16个对照组（无结构化护理伙伴的CIMT 参与），以量化对护理伙伴心理健康、围绕中风的家庭冲突 恢复和中风幸存者上肢功能。评价者将对分组设盲。 这项研究的结果将提供干预效果的初步估计， 未来的临床研究]。这项研究的创新之处在于， 干预措施，以满足护理伙伴的需求，并利用现代远程保健技术， 促进家庭参与家庭环境。该项目的研究结果将提供 关键数据，可以帮助开发未来的大规模研究，探索以家庭为中心的护理 在中风中。与公共卫生的相关性：这项研究计划的总体意义是增加 了解和进一步发展可作为康复模式的干预措施， 促进家庭参与康复过程，并促进更多的综合治疗策略 在物理治疗实践中。
