Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Ecological momentary intervention (EMI) as an innovative and personalised intervention has shown great potential in supporting psychological well-being; yet, there are no studies on using EMI for the caregivers' psychological support. The proposed trial aims to reduce stroke caregivers' psychological distress by delivering EMI through instant messaging applications to provide personalised and real-time support led by healthcare professionals.
Stroke caregivers screened by Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) with scores ranging from 5 to 19 will be recruited from multiple sites including community centres, rehabilitation centres and outpatient clinics in public hospitals in Hong Kong, and individually randomised into the intervention group (n=20) or control group (n=20). The intervention group will receive the personalised instant messages for 4 weeks. The control group will receive general health information and regular messages reminding them to participate in follow-up surveys. The primary outcome will be the score of PHQ-9 at 4 weeks. Secondary outcomes will include anxiety, perceived stress, and caregiver burden.

Intervention group
receive mobile messages supporting caregivers' psychological well-being, according to the participants' preferences in intervention group.
Ecological Momentary Intervention (EMI)
Using the messaging function of mobile devices, EMI offers a framework to deliver health information to the target population, corresponding to each individual's demands in terms of type (e.g., photo, text and/or voice message), timing, duration, and frequency of the messages, which are different to the features from other interventions
Control group
receive general health information through a mobile message.
