Social Work in Health Care 2018 January
Feasibility of a multidisciplinary caregiving training protocol for young caregivers in families with ALS.
OBJECTIVES: To assess the feasibility of a multidisciplinary young caregiver group training protocol for children and youth who provide care to a family member with ALS.
METHOD: Peer group experiential young caregiver model based on theories of self-management and self-efficacy. Training conducted by a multidisciplinary team of therapists in ALS (PT, OT, Speech and social work), as well as assistive device vendors. Demographic data, caregiving tasks and evaluations were collected.
RESULTS: The model is feasible for both youth and therapists. Youth found benefit, skill acquisition, and mastery by asking questions, teaching back skills to the group and engaging with peers.
CONCLUSION: This project demonstrates young caregivers will participate in training, and engage with "like" peer group. Future projects will focus on developing a structured survey and observation, testing efficacy in larger groups.
