  An exploratory RCT of a manualised nurse-led telephone support intervention for people who support/carers of People with Multiple Sclerosis.
  Summary

  This is an intervention study with 200 carers randomly assigned to one of two groups: the intervention or control group. Using a manual designed to enable the nurse specialist to provide proactive telephone support, the nurse specialist(s) will empower carers by enabling them to learn problem management skills. Carer outcomes are determined in terms of improving self-efficacy in problem solving and obtaining respite, preparedness to care, quality of life and reduced carer burden. For PwMS outcomes are determined by exploring their experience of being cared for by a carer who has received telephone support from the multiple sclerosis nurse specialist.

  Developing and testing an education and support intervention for caregivers with a view to reducing hospital re-admission rates among patients with heart failure
  Summary

  The Irish National Cardiac Health Policy (2010-2019) (Department of Health and Children 2010) have noted the need for a caregiver-focused initiative. This policy document advocated that family members and carers warranted consideration and special support as part of the patient rehabilitation process. The recommendations paid particular attention to those whose lives are seriously limited from heart failure, or stroke and the need for caregivers to be supported and trained was fully endorsed. It was acknowledged that caregivers suffer additional stress, depression and psychological problems when unsupported. The provision of practical support and information would enhance independent home living for those individuals with heart failure who are supported by carers in the home (Department of Health and Children 2010). On the international stage, the aim is to shift to community-based and patient-centred paradigms of care for the treatment of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease (World Health Organisation 2005) and, where possible, prevent admission to secondary healthcare facilities. While face-to-face contact with people who can provide education and support is ideal, it is not always feasible. Furthermore, attendance-based interventions can be time-consuming and expensive for the caregiver (Kaltenbaugh et al. 2015, Ravenson et al. 2016). However, telephone communication is widely available and internationally acceptable. The proposed project for this PhD study is focused on the modification of a previously developed education and support intervention. The primary purpose of this study is to develop a culturally-sensitive educational support intervention for caregivers of people with heart failure. The long-term intended outcome would be to implement this intervention and consequently reduce the rate of hospital re-admissions among patients with heart failure in the Republic of Ireland. The study will be modelled on the work of Piamjariyakul et al. (2015), who developed and tested a support and education telephone coaching intervention for caregivers of people with heart failure in the United States. The tested intervention significantly impacted on patient and caregiver outcomes, in terms of reduced patient re-admission rates and improved caregiver confidence and social support, with lower depression scores when compared to a usual care control group (Piamjariyakul et al. 2015). A mixed methods approach will be used to develop and test the intervention in this study. The model for developing complex interventions in nursing (Corry et al. 2013) and best practice guidelines for early phase testing of interventions (Medical Research Council 2006) and the Consort guidelines for pilot testing using the randomised trial design will also be used (Campbell et al. 2016) The aims of the study are to: 1. Develop a culturally sensitive caregiver coaching programme aimed at reducing hospital readmissions among heart failure patients and improving caregiver outcomes. 2. Model the intervention within the Irish health care system and conduct a feasibility study for the delivery and testing of the intervention using a randomised controlled trial, including potential outcome measures. 3. Using a randomised trial design in the Irish health care system, pilot test the intervention for potential effectiveness and other pilot test outcomes, including time taken to recruit and response rates.
