Summary

This study tests a telehealth program called TASK III for people caring for a family member after a stroke. The program includes a resource guide and eight weekly calls from a nurse to help caregivers build skills and manage their own health. Researchers will measure changes in caregivers' well-being and depressive symptoms over one year. The goal is to see if this support program can make caregiving less stressful.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Telehealth Assessment and Skill-Building Kit (TASK III) – a behavioral program with a resource guide and nurse calls
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a practical, home-based way to reduce caregiver burden and improve their mental health.
What could go wrong
This is a single trial with no blinding, so results may be influenced by participants' expectations. The program requires active participation and may not suit all caregivers.
