A randomised controlled trial evaluating short-term existential behavioural therapy for informal caregivers of palliative patients 2020-04-29 .txt text/plain 5524 332 48 A randomised controlled trial evaluating short-term existential behavioural therapy for informal caregivers of palliative patients Self-efficacy, scepticism of benefit of the intervention, belief of better coping alone and support by family and friends were significant factors in declining participation in the randomised controlled trial. Secondary outcomes were informal caregivers' levels of anxiety, subjective distress and minor mental disorders, positive and negative affect, satisfaction with life, quality of life and direct health care costs. The interaction effect between the group (sEBT/control) and the time of investigation was not included in the main models as it was not significantly different from zero, except for psychological impairment. This randomised controlled trial studied the impact of sEBT on depression, anxiety, subjective distress, minor mental disorders, positive and negative affect, satisfaction with life, quality of life and direct health care costs. Caregivers who declined the intervention did not differ significantly from participants of the randomised controlled trial in outcomes at any assessment. ./cache/cord-011501-o9hmzaxm.txt ./txt/cord-011501-o9hmzaxm.txt
