Family Caregiver Support Interventions' Effectiveness Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The authors aimed to assess the impact of a family caregiver support intervention on caregiver burden and hospital readmission before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. By adopting a quasi-experimental design with no randomization, caregivers ( = 65) received a 90-day home visitation caregiver support intervention before the COVID-19 pandemic and caregivers ( = 41) received a 90-day phone-only visitation caregiver support intervention during the COVID-19 pandemic. Caregiver burden was collected in a survey, and hospital readmission of the care recipient was collected by hospital data.
