Piloting GETCare: A Remote Goal-based Education and Skills Training Program for Caregivers Poststroke

This 5-week intervention was administered remotely and individually to caregivers utilizing phone, email, and a secure online platform. The GETCare program was mostly self-led and included five weekly module education topics: basics of stroke, caregiver skills, caregiver changes, meaningful participation, and community resources. Each module incorporated (1) individualized education, (2) goal setting, (3) skills training, and (4) community resource recommendations. The program was led by a licensed occupational therapist who is a certified stroke rehabilitation specialist. The occupational therapist conducted weekly check-ins via email or phone focused on answering questions, tracking goal progress, and assisting in problem solving.
