“…The results of this trial showed no difference between intervention and UC in the primary endpoint at either three or six months, using an intention-totreat approach (28). An examination of prespecified subgroups revealed that those who were not depressed and had little cognitive impairment, more minor strokes, and fewer preexisting chronic conditions tended to benefit from the intervention.…”

The United States ranks in the lower tiers of OECD countries in life expectancy, and recent studies indicate that socioeconomic inequalities in health have been widening in the past decades. Over this period, many rigorous longitudinal studies have identified important social, behavioral, and environmental conditions that might reduce health disparities if we could design effective interventions and make specific policy changes to modify them. Often, however, neither our policy changes nor our interventions are as effective as we hoped they would be on the basis of findings from observational studies. Reviewed here are issues related to causal inference and potential explanations for the discrepancy between observational and experimental studies. We conclude that more attention needs to be devoted to (a) identifying the correct etiologic period within a life-course perspective and (b) understanding the dynamic interplay between interventions and the social, economic, and environmental contexts in which interventions are delivered.

“…Furthermore, based on these domains, 16 content areas of psychosocial adaptation to stroke were identified (9,23) and used as a checklist to ensure that all topics were addressed during the intervention while allowing variation in the sequence and relative emphases in each family system. Additional details of the intervention are described elsewhere (24). A brief eight-step description of the intervention is included as an Appendix.…”

“…36 This provides support for additional testing of the use of telephone social problem solving in their subsequent study. 29 Glass et al 34 described the development of a family-focused psychosocial intervention using a problem-defined system using case studies. The first published correlation study examining the relationships between caregiver social problem-solving abilities and their physical and psychosocial well-being in 20 blacks and 20 whites found that these abilities among caregivers were associated with their depression and general health status, but social support did not influence this relationship.…”

“…32,33 Three were nonintervention studies, including a case study that described and illustrated the development of a problem-defined system to help family caregivers cope with their daily problems. 34 A correlational study that examined the relationship between caregivers' problem-solving abilities and their physical and psychological well-being was identified. 35 Another study described the framework and concepts supporting the use of a social problem-solving telephone partnership project in the United States.…”

Background and Purpose-Teaching effective problem-solving skills to family caregivers of patients with chronic disease has been shown to be useful for promoting physical and psychosocial well-being. However, the use and effectiveness of problem solving for supporting caregivers in stroke care has not been reviewed. This article aims to identify and review studies that have examined the effectiveness of teaching problem solving skills to caregivers in stroke care, highlight gaps in the evidence base, and recommend avenues for additional research. Methods-A structured review of literature identified from nursing, medicine, and psychology databases from 1970 to 2004 was conducted. Eleven articles reporting the development or evaluation of effective problem-solving interventions for caregivers of patients with stroke were critically appraised using recognized quality criteria. Results-The results of this review show that the strength of evidence for problem-solving interventions for caregivers of stroke patients is limited. Because some studies used small samples and varied methods and interventions, making a comparison was difficult. Caregivers' problem-solving abilities were rarely measured, and the theoretical concepts and framework underpinning most studies were unclear. Conclusions-Evidence from the review suggests a need to additionally study the link between theoretical concepts of effective problem solving and outcomes using standardized measures and to examine also the processes involved in implementing the intervention using multimethod designs, including both quantitative and qualitative approaches.
