While patients experience distressing symptoms, compromised quality of life, and poor clinical outcomes, family caregivers often experience strain and compromised physical and mental health. Although HF influences patients and caregivers alike, little is known about how patients and caregivers experience HF together across the spectrum of illness severity. The purpose of this dissertation research is to characterize the impact of the patient-caregiver dyadic relationship on clinical and person-oriented outcomes in HF dyads in general and ventricular assist device (VAD) dyads in particular. 000003010 536__ $$oNIH/NINR Institutional T32 Research Training Award$$cT32NR007061 000003010 536__ $$oNational Institutes of Health/National Institute of Nursing Research$$cF31NR014760 000003010 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000003010 650__ $$aHeart-Assist Devices$$019959 000003010 650__ $$aPatient Acuity$$040012 000003010 650__ $$aMental Health$$022046 000003010 650__ $$aCaregivers$$029631 000003010 650__ $$aQuality of Life$$025032 000003010 650__ $$aHeart Failure$$019939 000003010 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000003010 7001_ $$aBidwell, Julie$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000003010 7201_ $$aLee, Christopher$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eCommittee chair 000003010 7201_ $$aLyons, Karen$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eCommittee member 000003010 7201_ $$aMudd, James$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eCommittee member 000003010 8564_ $$9f9bfe6d9-5f84-46ab-ab19-422d57af9dc8$$s1326861$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/3010/files/3813_etd.pdf 000003010 905__ $$a/rest/prod/28/01/pg/54/2801pg54d 000003010 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:3010$$pstudent-work 000003010 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
