About this study
Official title: Developing and Pilot Testing Culturally Based Educational Videos for Puerto Rican and African American Home Hospice Caregivers
The investigators hypothesize that culturally based educational videos for Puerto Rican and African American home hospice caregivers will better inform caregivers in managing symptoms, preparedness, self-efficacy, and competence.
Read the detailed description
The clinical trial for this project is a cross-sectional study conducted with VNS Health hospice, Hospicio Toque de Amor, and Hospicio Luz Celeste. Names of Puerto Rican and African American caregivers receiving home hospice care will be referred to the study team by the site leader/hospice leadership at each hospice. Demographic data will be collected from each caregiver participant. Prior to showing participants the culturally tailored videos, a research member will administer a set of Likert style questions developed by the research team around comfort in managing symptom related issues. The same questions will be administered again post video intervention. In addition, the preparedness scale, chronic pain self-efficacy scale, and caregiving competence scale will be administered to participants pre and post video intervention. The PI will not be involved in the administering the intervention for this study. After the culturally tailored videos have been shown to the participant, a research member will also conduct an open-ended interview about content, reactions, attitudes, usefulness and limitations around each video. Interviews will be conducted in either English and/or Spanish.

Video 1 includes content on managing shortness of breath, delivering liquid medication to a patient, and caregiver resources offered in hospice care. Video 2 includes content on using opioids to treat pain and turning a patient in bed. Video 3 includes content on recognizing agitation and confusion in a patient. Video 4 includes content on recognizing the signs and symptoms when a patient is at the end of life.
