Interventions to address burden among family caregivers of persons aging with TBI: A scoping review. Brain Inj. 2018 Nov 30;:1-11 Authors: Marshall CA, Nalder E, Colquhoun H, Lenton E, Hansen M, Dawson DR, Zabjek K, Bottari C Abstract PURPOSE: To capture the scope of literature exploring interventions for caregivers of aging persons with TBI. METHODS: A scoping review of peer reviewed literature was conducted in two phases. Phase I: Searching seven databases, two independent raters screened articles using a set of predetermined criteria. Included articles were reviewed, and categorized according to common themes. Phase II: Five stakeholders were engaged in a consultation. A content analysis was performed by extracting statements from each interview using an inductive strategy, and organizing each into themes. FINDINGS: A total of 11 articles were included in the final analysis. Inter-rater reliability was assessed at both the title and abstract search [98.8% agreement; k = 0.3425 (95% CI, .246 to .439), p < .05]; and the full-text review [83% agreement; k = 0.542 (95% CI, 0.340 to 0.745), p < .05] phases. Seven articles identified potential interventions, and four identified and evaluated an intervention. Interventions targeted subjective burden (n = 4) and objective burden (n = 4), with caregiver knowledge and skill development (n = 3) classified as a sub-category of objective burden. Stakeholders ove...
