Abstract
Impact of a family caregiver training program in Kolkata, India on post-operative health perceptions and outcomes of cardiothoracic surgical patients
Highlights
Patient and family caregiver education is essential for adequate home care after a cardiothoracic surgical intervention
This study evaluates the effect of the Care Companion Program (CCP), an in-hospital patient family engagement and education program that targets family caregivers to support post-surgical patient recovery
Despite the growing body of knowledge surrounding the importance of integrating family members into the healthcare delivery process, there is a paucity of structured family member engagement interventions in hospitals, in developing countries
Summary
The primary aim of this study is to assess the impact of an inpatient family caregiver training program (i.e. the Caregiver Companion Program (CCP)) on patient-level health outcomes and caregiver competencies for patients with CVD. The aim of the study was to examine the impact of CCP participation on family caregiver health-related competencies and patient-level health outcomes following adult cardiothoracic surgery
