Abstract:
This study aimed to investigate the effects of Individual Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (ICST) on the cognition, quality of life, and family relationships of caregivers of burn patients. A total of 98 caregivers of burn patients were randomly divided into a control group and a study group. The control group received routine interventions, while the study group underwent ICST, focusing on psychological diagnosis, comprehension, communication, and reeducation phases. Burn awareness levels, quality of life, social support utilization, and psychological resilience were assessed before and after the intervention. Before intervention, there were no significant differences in burn awareness levels, quality of life, social support utilization, or psychological resilience between the 2 groups. After the intervention, caregivers in the study group exhibited significantly higher scores in burn awareness levels, quality of life dimensions, social support utilization, and psychological resilience compared to the control group (P < .05). Individual cognitive stimulation therapy can improve the burn awareness level, quality of life, and social support utilization of caregivers of burn patients, highlighting its significant clinical implications in enhancing caregiver well-being and patient care.
