We will present our pilot study data on the feasibility of recruiting for and deliverying Problem Solving Training to care partners of adults with traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, burn injury, or stroke during the care recipient's inpatient hospital stay. We will describe our ability to recruit participants, the number of PST sessions completed prior to discharge, participant satisfaction (Client Satisfaction Questionnaire; CSQ), and participant engagement (Pittsburgh Rehabilitation Participation Scale; PRPS). Finally, we will make recommendations for improving recruitment and intervention delivery in future studies.
