Objective: To examine the effect of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) on the quality of life (QOL) of older adults with complicated grief (CG) over time. Design: Subanalysis of a randomized controlled trial. Setting/Subject: Older adult, former caregivers were recruited from a large hospice in the southeastern United States to be treated with ART for CG. Measurement: The CDC Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) Healthy Days Module was administered pre-, post-, and eight weeks after therapy. Results: The subsample consisted of 27 older adults. A multilevel model indicated a statistically significant, negative difference of 8.21 (improvement) in QOL scores for each period of data collection (β = −8.21, t = 4.02, p < 0.001). Both the intervention (11%, p = 0.013) and time (7.8%, growth curve p = 0.014) contributed significantly. Conclusion: There was a significant large effect of ART on CG. This study supports concurrent improved patient-related outcome—QOL. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
