Abstract
- Black caregivers face distinct challenges in symptom management when providing end-of-life care. Educational interventions may improve caregiver preparedness and competency by providing information on symptom management. This study pilot tested 4 culturally tailored caregiver educational videos about symptom management for Black caregivers receiving home hospice care at a large, urban, nonprofit hospice organization to determine feasibility and acceptability, along with their potential impact on caregiver outcomes. All participants (N = 10) agreed to watch the 4 videos and found the videos to be helpful; 90% (n = 9) shared that they would recommend them to other Black caregivers receiving home hospice care. Total preparedness scores increased from a mean score of 23.5 preintervention to 28.3 postintervention. Caregiver competency scores increased from 13.8 at preintervention to 14.3 at postintervention. Caregivers' comfort and knowledge scores increased from preintervention to postintervention for all 7 end-of-life topics presented in the 4 videos. This study found that it was feasible and acceptable to show Black caregivers culturally tailored educational videos related to issues regarding symptom management. Many found the videos to be helpful and the topics to be relatable. There were trends toward improvement in preparedness and competency. Future studies examining efficacy are needed to determine the impact of this intervention.<br />Competing Interests: The authors have no conflicts of interests to disclose.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 by The Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association.
