Abstract:	Shorter hospital and rehabilitation stays in cases of pediatric brain injury necessitate greater preparation and training of family caregivers, who often will be responsible for complex and continued care at home. At the same time, a growing nursing shortage results in less available time for individualized, one-on-one caregiver education in medical settings prior to discharge. What is needed are innovative models of caregiver preparation and education that are comprehensive, systematic, and maximize the use of health professionals' limited time. The model presented here aims to provide a progressive three-phase model of caregiver education that makes efficient use of health professionals' time and delivers crucial information in a time-released manner throughout the entire continuum of care under the guidance of health professionals. An annotated bibliography of published caregiver education resources and the appropriate time for their delivery to family members is provided in the Appendix. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
