Key result
The mHealth supportive care transition program significantly reduced caregiver stress transition scores from 40.14 pre-discharge to 21.43 at one month post-discharge (p=0.0001).
Why the study?
Caring during discharge transition for moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury impacts caregivers, yet mHealth communication programs remain limited for these caregivers in low-middle income countries.
Does an mHealth supportive care transition program reduce transition stress and caregiver burden in caregivers of patients with moderate to severe TBI?
Population

Supports mHealth deployment for TBI caregiver transitions; confirms efficacy and extends digital supportive care evidence.
Does an mHealth supportive care transition program reduce transition stress and caregiver burden in caregivers of patients with moderate to severe TBI?
Absolute Event Rate: 21.43% vs 40.14%
p-value: p=0.0001
An mHealth supportive care transition program is feasible and may reduce stress and burden for caregivers of patients with traumatic brain injury.
Ganefianty et al. (2023) studied Caregivers of patients with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) (n=7). mHealth supportive care transition program vs. Baseline (pre-discharge) was evaluated on Stress transition score at one month post-discharge (p=0.0001). The mHealth supportive care transition program significantly reduced caregiver stress transition scores from 40.14 pre-discharge to 21.43 at one month post-discharge (p=0.0001).
