Archives of psychiatric nursing, 27(3), 112-120, doi:10.1016/j.apnu.2013.01.004.https://hdl.handle.net/1805/6277Building Our Solutions and Connections (BOSC) focused on enhancing problem-solving skills (PSS) of primary caregivers of children with mental health problems. Aims were determining feasibility, acceptability, and effect size (ES) estimates for depression, burden, personal control, and PSS. Methods—Caregivers were randomized to BOSC (n=30) or wait-list control (WLC) groups (n=31). Data were collected at baseline, post-intervention, and 3 and 6 months post-intervention. Results—Three-months post-intervention, ES for burden and personal control were .07 and .08, respectively. ES for depressed caregivers for burden and personal control were 0.14 and 0.19, respectively. Conclusions—Evidence indicates that the intervention had desired effects.en-USprimary caregiversproblem solving interventionProblem-Solving Intervention for Caregivers of Children with Mental Health ProblemsArticle
