Resiliency Training for Patients With NF2 Via Videoconferencing With Skype
Resiliency Training for Patients With Neurofibromatosis Via Videoconferencing With Skype
The aim of this study is to determine, whether the 3RP is feasible, accepted and efficacious and durable when delivered via Skype to patients with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) who are deaf or have severe hearing loss using Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) and/or American Sign Language (ASL).
This will be a substudy of the IRB-approved protocol #2013P002605. It is the same study except it is looking at a particular sub-population: patients with NF2 who are hard of hearing.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF)
Time Frame: Change between Baseline (week 0), Post-intervention (week 8) and Follow Up (week 32 and week 64)
|
The WHOQOL-BREF comprises of 26 items which measure the following broad domains: physical health, psychological health, social relationships, and environment.
The WHOQOL-BREF is a shorter version of the original instrument that may be more convenient for use in large research studies or clinical trials.
|
Change between Baseline (week 0), Post-intervention (week 8) and Follow Up (week 32 and week 64)
|
Penn Acoustic Neuroma Quality-of Life Scale (PANQOL)
Time Frame: Change between Baseline (week 0), Post-intervention (week 8) and Follow Up (week 32 and week 64)
|
The PANQOL measures quality of life specifically for patients with NF2.
|
Change between Baseline (week 0), Post-intervention (week 8) and Follow Up (week 32 and week 64)
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
The 14-Item Resiliency Scale (RS-14)
Time Frame: Change between Baseline (week 0), Post-intervention (week 8) and Follow Up (week 32)
|
The RS-14 measures stress coping ability in the face of adversity.
|
Change between Baseline (week 0), Post-intervention (week 8) and Follow Up (week 32)
|
Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10)
Time Frame: Change between Baseline (week 0), Post-intervention (week 8) and Follow Up (week 32)
|
The PSS is a widely used psychological instrument for the measurement of the perception of stress.
This 10-itam scale is designed to measure the degree to which situations in one's life are appraised, or considered stressful.
The scores range from 0-40, with a higher score indicating higher perceived stress.
Items were designed to detect how unpredictable, uncontrollable and overloaded respondents find their lives.
|
Change between Baseline (week 0), Post-intervention (week 8) and Follow Up (week 32)
|
Measure of Current Status (MOCS-A)
Time Frame: Change between Baseline (week 0), Post-intervention (week 8) and Follow Up (week 32)
|
The MOCS-A is a 13-item measure assessing participants' current self-perceived status on several skills such as: the ability to relax at will, recognize stress-inducing situations, restructure maladaptive thoughts, be assertive about needs, and choose appropriate coping responses as needed.
Responses are made on a 7-point scale with higher scores reflecting higher life satisfaction.
|
Change between Baseline (week 0), Post-intervention (week 8) and Follow Up (week 32)
|
The Gratitude Questionnaire (GQ-6)
Time Frame: Change between Baseline (week 0), Post-intervention (week 8) and Follow Up (week 32)
|
The GQ-6 revised is a 6-item measure that assesses individual differences in the proneness to experience gratitude in daily life.
Scores range from 6-42, with a higher score indicating a greater sense of gratitude.
|
Change between Baseline (week 0), Post-intervention (week 8) and Follow Up (week 32)
|
Life Orientation Test (LOT) Optimism Scale
Time Frame: Change between Baseline (week 0), Post-intervention (week 8) and Follow Up (week 32)
|
The LOT Optimism Scale measures individual differences in generalized optimism versus pessimism.

|
Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)
Time Frame: Change between Baseline (week 0), Post-intervention (week 8) and Follow Up (week 32)
|
The PHQ measures symptoms of depression and functional impairment.
|
Change between Baseline (week 0), Post-intervention (week 8) and Follow Up (week 32)
|
Cognitive and Affective Mindfulness Scale (CAMS)
Time Frame: Change between Baseline (week 0), Post-intervention (week 8) and Follow Up (week 32)
|
The CAMS measures the degree to which individuals experience their thoughts and feelings.
