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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
EMPOWER-Latinx, a culturally adapted behavioral intervention delivered in Spanish via videoconferencing
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a practical, scalable way to support Latinx caregivers of ICU patients, reducing emotional distress and improving well-being.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study focused on feasibility, not effectiveness. The intervention may not be widely adopted or may not significantly reduce distress beyond usual support.
