Summary
This pilot study is intended to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of an adapted sleep health intervention for family caregivers. The researchers are piloting a randomized clinical trial to test the Family Caregiver Transdiagnostic Intervention for Sleep and Circadian Dysfunction (Caregiver TranS-C), a tailored intervention that integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and caregiving guidance. The caregiving-tailored adaptation of the Transdiagnostic Intervention for Sleep and Circadian Dysfunction (TranS-C) has the potential to improve sleep health outcomes and enhance psychological well-being in family caregivers.
