Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Caregivers of patients after brain injury often suffer from increased depression, anxiety and stress experience. The OSCAR Online-Coaching, which implements a novel, internet-based minimal contact intervention, was evaluated in a pilot study. A 16-week guided self-help program was compared to a wait list control group in a randomised, controlled study with 35 participants. Primary outcome measures were the Perceived Stress Questionnaire and the Zarit Burden Interview. Intention-to-treat analyses of effects immediately after the intervention did not show significant group differences on primary and secondary outcome measures. In the 6-month follow-up, and after the wait list control group has received access to the intervention, a significant decrease of caregiver burden, depressive symptoms, anxiety and an increase in positive emotions was found in the whole sample. Caregivers were satisfied with the program.
