Effectiveness of a Psychoeducation Program in Patients With Severe Mental Disorder

July 5, 2021 updated by: José Manuel Pérez Mármol, Universidad de Granada

Effectiveness of a Psychoeducation Program on Metabolic Syndrome, Cardiovascular Risk, Independency and Psychopatology in Patients With Severe Mental Illness

Patients with Severe Mental Disorder (SMD) show a life expectancy of 13 to 30 years lower than the general population. Among the factors that determine this expectancy are cardiovascular risk and the metabolic syndrome. The objective of the present study will be to evaluate the effectiveness of a rehabilitative intervention comprinsing a psychopharmacology and psychoeducation program on cardiovascular risk, metabolic syndrome, independency for activities of daily living and psychopathological symptoms.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

It will be selected sixty patients diagnosed with SMD from a community Mental Health Unit from Spain. It will be implemented a intervention program consisted of psychopharmacology + psychoeducation on healthy living habits during three months. The patients will be evaluated at the beginning, at three months and at six months follow-up for weight, waist circumference, waist-hip ratio, body mass index, cardiovascular risk, independency and psychopathology.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Active Comparator: Psychoeducation program
The intervention program consists of psychopharmacology (standard intervention in mental health services) + individual psychoeducation (individual treatment including learning of Healthy Lifestyle). This program is implemented for three months, allocated in several sessions.
Behavioral: Psychoeducation program
Intervention program consisted of psychopharmacology + psychoeducation. This will be executed during 3 months, distribuited in several sessions.
Other Names:
  • Mixed treatment program
Active Comparator: Habitual intervention
Intervention program consists of psychopharmacology (standard intervention in mental health services). This program is implemented for three months.
Drug: Psychopharmacology intervention
Intervention program consisted of psychopharmacology. This will be executed during 3 months.
Other Names:
  • Standard intervention

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
weight
Time Frame: Change from Baseline in weight at 3 and 6 months
This measurement registers weight in Kg
Change from Baseline in weight at 3 and 6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
waist circumference
Time Frame: Change from Baseline in waist circumference at 3 and 6 months
This measurement registers waist circumference in cm
Change from Baseline in waist circumference at 3 and 6 months
waist-hip ratio
Time Frame: Change from Baseline in waist-hip ratio at 3 and 6 months
Waist-hip ratio will be calculated
Change from Baseline in waist-hip ratio at 3 and 6 months
Framingham scale
Time Frame: Change from Baseline in Framingham scale at 3 and 6 months
The Framingham Risk Score is a gender-specific algorithm used to estimate the 10-year cardiovascular risk of an individual.
Change from Baseline in Framingham scale at 3 and 6 months
