- Informal caregivers providing home care often face stress that can negatively impact their health-related quality of life (HRQOL).
- The study aimed to assess the impact of the Further Enabling Care at Home (FECH+) program on improving HRQOL for caregivers of older adults after hospital discharge.
- Conducted as a randomized clinical trial in Australia, caregivers in the intervention group received structured support through phone calls, while the control group only received standard care, with various outcomes tracked over 12 months.
