A quasi-experimental research design was conducted. The sample included 40 caregivers of ICU patients with severe
TBI, 20 for a control group and 20 for an experimental group, was recruited. The Preparation Program (PP) implemented in
the experimental group was developed based on an extensive review of related literature. The Thai version of the Coping and
Adaptation Processing ScaleึShort Form (TCAP-SF) was administered before and after the training of caregivers with PP to
determine their coping abiility. Data were analyzed using Chi-square and t-test.
