What the study is about

Caregivers of persons with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) face increased risk of psychological distress, health problems, reduced quality of life, relationship strain, and restrictions in social and work participation. Military caregivers (Family Caregivers of wounded or disabled Veterans) reported similar negative effects of becoming a caregiver on their physical and mental health.

Using results from our previous work in mHealth interventions for individuals with SCI, we developed a dual-target intervention for both individuals with SCI and their caregivers.

The overall objective of this research study is to conduct translational research focused on adapting and tailoring the interactive Mobile Health and Rehabilitation (iMHere) 2.0 system to meet the needs of Veterans with SCI and their family caregivers, expanding the psychosocial intervention, and evaluating the feasibility of implementing the iMHere system among Veterans with SCI and their family caregivers.

Being studied: iMHERE 2.0. A mobile health App designed to support veterans with SCI manage their self care, and their caregivers

Conditions: Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI); Spinal Cord Injury; Spinal Cord Injuries (Complete and Incomplete); Family Caregivers; Families of Veterans; Disabled Veterans
