Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Dyadic Life Review
The Dyadic Life Review Arm (DLR) consists of 8 sessions delivered by a trained licensed clinician. Each session facilitates a recall of each phase of life. The patient and caregiver will each be asked structured questions to prompt reminiscence of memories from that phase of life. Interventionists are able to use clinical judgment to prompt further or ask follow-up questions or reflections. Additionally, the patient and caregiver will be asked to respond to the other dyad member's memory or reflection. Each session will have flexibility for clinical judgement.
Dyadic Life Review
DLR is an intervention that will promote relationship closeness, communication, and psychological distress in both older adults and caregivers.
Case-As-Usual
The Care-As-Usual (CAU) arm will follow current practices for responding to patient distress. The CAU for patients involves a supportive follow-up phone call from the social work team to further assess the patient's experience of distress. In some instances, the social worker will use their clinical judgement to further refer the patient to community resources to support distress. The number of phone calls and any subsequent community referrals or appointments related to distress that occur will be tracked.
