Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a telephone-based support group program for family caregivers providing long-term care for elders and to identify the program¡¯s effects on depression, caregiving burden and satisfaction.
Methods: A non-equivalent control pre-post design was used. Participants were recruited from support groups in 3 long-term care agencies and were assigned to the experimental group (n=16) or control group (n=19) receiving usual care. For the experimental group, the telephone-based support group intervention, consisting of the self-help group activity in small group, given for 8 weeks. Outcomes included changes in depression, caregiving burden and satisfaction. Data were analyzed using Fisher¡¯s exact test and Mann-Whitney U-test with SPSS/WIN 21.0.
Results: After 8 weeks intervention, the experimental group had significantly increased caregiving satisfaction (Z=-2.39, p=.017) compared to the control group. Within the experimental group, scores for depression were significantly decreased (Z= -2.26, p=.024) but not the caregiving burden (Z=-0.99, p=.320).
Conclusion: The results indicate that a telephone-based support group program is effective in increasing caregiving satisfaction, and decreasing depression. Therefore, it can be utilized in the field of nursing for family caregivers providing long-term care for elders.
