PROJECT NARRATIVE
Unpaid lay caregivers support patients awaiting heart or lung transplantation by assisting them with essential
tasks (such as medical monitoring, activities of daily living, household and family activities, providing emotional
and/or financial support). However, pre-transplant caregivers are stressed with high caregiver burden which
can have adverse health effects for both the transplant candidate and the caregiver. In this application, we will
investigate whether providing pre-transplant heart and lung patients’ caregivers a weekly health coaching
intervention by telephone is acceptable, feasible, and improves caregiver stress.
