Relatives of people with acquired brain injury (ABI) or malignant brain tumor (MBT) often take on a major role in daily care, decision-making, and coordination across healthcare services. This role can include managing information, supporting rehabilitation, and acting as a link between hospital care and community rehabilitation. Many relatives report high levels of stress, uncertainty, and emotional burden, especially during transitions between care settings.\n\nDespite recommendations for greater involvement of relatives, support for this group is often uneven and poorly coordinated across healthcare sectors. Relatives frequently experience lack of overview, limited guidance, and unclear expectations regarding their role. These challenges may increase caregiver burden and negatively affect both relatives' well-being and the continuity of care.\n\nThe PIRe 2.0 study aims to further test, and implement a structured intervention to support systematic involvement of relatives of people with ABI or MBT across hospital and community rehabilitation services. The intervention is designed as a \"caregiver compass\" that helps relatives understand their role, clarify their needs and wishes for involvement, and gain better overview of the care pathway.\n\nPIRe 2.0 is delivered through a stepped-care model, which allows the level of support to be adjusted over time based on each relative's level of burden and support needs. All relatives receive basic information and screening for caregiver burden using the 4-item Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI-4). Relatives who show signs of increased burden are offered additional support in steps, ranging from structured conversations with nurses to extended cross-sector coordination and specialized support for relatives with high or complex needs. Decisions about stepping up or down are based on both screening results and clinical assessment to ensure flexibility and person-centered care.\n\nThe study includes two groups of relatives: an intervention group receiving support through the PIRe stepped-care model, and a control group receiving usual care only. A total of 160 relatives will participate. Data are collected at baseline, at transitions between hospital and community care, and three to six months after the intervention.\n\nThe primary outcome is change in caregiver burden, measured with the Caregiver Burden Scale (CBS). Secondary outcomes include relatives' roles and responsibilities, perceived support and involvement in care, and mental well-being, assessed using validated patient-reported outcome measures.\n\nIn addition to evaluating the effect of the intervention, the study examines how the PIRe model can be implemented and sustained in everyday practice across healthcare sectors. The results are expected to show whether a structured, stepped-care approach can reduce caregiver burden, improve coordination between hospital and community services, and support more coherent and secure care pathways for people with ABI or malignant brain tumor and their relatives.",[25,57,58,59,60,61,62],"Brain Tumor Adult","Brain (Nervous System) Cancers","Traumatic Brain Injuries","Glioblastom WHO Grade 4","Glioblastoma (GBM)","Stroke",[64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73],"Acquired brain injury","Malignant brain tumor","Relatives","Caregiver Burden","Involvement","Communication","Care transitions","Rehabilitation","Implementation","Stepped-care","2026-05-15",{"date":76,"type":33},"2026-05-19",{"date":78,"type":20},"2026-10-01",{"date":80,"type":20},"2029-09-30",{"name":82,"class":40},"Rigshospitalet, Denmark",{"id":84,"slug":85,"hasResults":11,"nctId":86,"briefTitle":87,"officialTitle":88,"acronym":89,"eligibilityCriteria":90,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":16,"minAge":91,"maxAge":92,"enrollmentInfo":93,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":4,"briefSummary":95,"conditions":96,"keywords":106,"overallStatus":112,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":113,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":114,"startDateStruct":116,"completionDateStruct":118,"leadSponsor":120,"locationsCount":122},"100544564","screening-emotions-in-adolescents-at-the-hospital-for-mtbi-100544564","NCT06370520","Screening Emotions in Adolescents at the Hospital for mTBI","Screening Emotions in Adolescents Receiving Care at the Hospital for mTBI (SEARCH-mTBI)","SEARCH-mTBI","Inclusion Criteria:\n\nChildren 11 to less than 18 years old who meet the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) definition of mTBI\\*.
