Summary

This study tested a program for caregivers of people with advanced heart failure. The program helps caregivers build on their strengths, find purpose, and set goals for a healthier lifestyle. Researchers wanted to see if it could improve caregivers' quality of life, reduce their sense of burden, and encourage healthy habits. 33 caregivers took part in the completed study.
