The Caregiver Resilience Education (Ca.R.E.) Program
Grace Elizabeth Muppidi
ProQuest LLC, D.Occ.T. Dissertation, Boston University
Caregivers' involvement in therapy is integral to the child's engagement in therapy and their occupational performance outcomes (D'Arrigo et al., 2020b). Access to cost-effective, culturally relevant educational programs for caregivers of children with disability, who are oftentimes burdened with anxiety and stress due to society's stigma, are limited in low-income and -resource settings like rural India (Angelin et al., 2021). Also compounding the problem are caregiver personal factors, environmental and contextual factors, and health care system factors (Brassart et al., 2017; Vadivelan et al., 2020). Caregiver Resilience Education (Ca.R.E.) is a group-based program comprising five modules that include approaches such as role-modeling, coaching, group discussions, collaborative goal-setting, and therapist modeling. The Ca.R.E. program culminates in the demonstration and formation of a caregiver support group to be facilitated by an occupational therapy practitioner. The mission of the Ca.R.E. program is to improve caregiver engagement and self-efficacy. Through the Ca.R.E. program, the author envisions empowered caregivers coming together to advocate for their children and themselves to combat occupational injustice in a community with the odds stacked against them.
