A Mindfulness-Based Resiliency Program for Caregivers of Patients With Severe Acute Brain Injury Transitioning Out of Critical Care: Protocol for an Open Pilot Trial.

Background: Caregivers of patients with severe acute brain injuries (SABI) that lead to coma and require intensive care unit (ICU) treatment often experience chronic emotional distress. To address this need, we developed the Coma Family (COMA-F) program, a mindfulness-based resiliency intervention for these caregivers.

Objective: We will conduct an open pilot trial of COMA-F (National Institutes of Health Stage IA).
