Brief Summary:
This pilot study has two aims. The first aim is to establish the feasibility of coaching for caregivers of youth with spinal cord injury, and the second aim is to establish methodological procedures for a future multi-center study on the effectiveness of coaching as an intervention for caregivers of youth with spinal cord injury.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Spinal Cord Injuries Behavioral: strength based coaching Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
This study addresses the unmet needs of female primary informal caregivers of youth with spinal cord injury. A one-group pre-post treatment design will be used. Consented caregivers will receive coaching via face-to-face or via the phone. Each caregiver will participate in up to 10 coaching sessions. Each coaching session will last up to 90 minutes. Coaching sessions will be audiorecorded and transcribed verbatim. Outcomes of coaching on caregivers' self-identified goals will be assessed using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) [ Time Frame: Baseline - before coaching and repeated at end of 10 coaching sessions (12 weeks from baseline) ]
    Rates self perceived performance and satisfaction with self-identified goals on a 10 point likert scale (1 cannot do, not satisfied; 10 can do without a problem, very satisfied). A 2-point change is considered clinically meaningful.
