Summary

This study tests whether a culturally adapted program called EMPOWER-Latinx can help reduce emotional distress in Latinx caregivers of intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The program is delivered in Spanish through video calls and focuses on building emotional resilience. Researchers are checking if it's feasible for caregivers to complete the program, with a goal of finishing at least four out of six sessions. If it works, it could offer a practical way to support this often-overlooked group during a stressful time.
