Key Points Question Is participation in a dyadic resiliency intervention associated with a measurable reduction in symptoms of depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress (PTS) compared with participation in an educational control? Findings In this pilot, single-blind, randomized clinical trial of 58 dyads of survivors of the neuroscience intensive care unit and their informal caregivers, survivors and caregivers who received the active intervention experienced a significant reduction in symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTS. Meaning In this pilot randomized clinical trial, the dyadic resiliency intervention was feasible, and the findings suggest that it may prevent chronic emotional distress in survivors of acute brain injury and their caregivers.
