A Problem-Solving Intervention for Hospice Family Caregivers: A Randomized Clinical Trial (PISCES)

Key findings used in wiki

• PISCES sits in the Problem-Solving Therapy/Training lineage — the academic ancestor of GiveCare's "one next step," and the cleanest non-clinical intervention backbone to borrow.
• Its explicit steps (define the problem; obtain facts; set goals; generate solutions; evaluate options; act and review) become the skeleton for GiveCare's structured micro-support conversation.
• "Define the problem" and "obtain facts" map to GiveCare's opening prompts ("define the problem / what made it harder"), keeping the flow concrete before suggesting action.
• "Generate and evaluate options" supports GiveCare narrowing to a single feasible next step rather than dumping a list.
• "Act and review" validates GiveCare's loop of one action plus a light follow-up, framed as a repeatable skill rather than a clinical treatment.
