Detailed Description
The psychoeducation BalancingMySwing (BMS) program has been developed manually and its feasibility has been tested in our previous study. This 3-year research project aimed to further examine the immediate and lasted effects of BMS program for bipolar disorders (BD), and to assess its knowledge dissemination and the transferability of its evidence-based practice across multiple sites.
During the first 2 years, a randomized controlled trial was conducted. Patients diagnosed with BD were recruited and 104 patients were randomly assigned to treatment as usual (TAU) or to 8 BMS sessions. A battery of three outcome indicators-social rhythm, illness perception, and symptom severity-were used to examine the effects of the two groups at baseline, after intervention, and every 3 months until half year. In addition, a pre- and post-test quasi-experimental study combined with qualitative design was used to assess the translational feasibility of BMS and to explore related barriers and facilitators of implementing BMS in clinical settings in the third year. Nurses from 4 Hospitals received the BMS training, and patients with BD received the BMS translated in practice were recruited.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Changes from Baseline Social Rhythm through Study Completion, at the 3rd and the 6th month after study completion
Time Frame: At baseline; through study completion, an average of 2 months; at the 3rd and the 6th month after study completion
|
Social Rhythm Metric-5 items (SRM-5)-- The total scores range from 0 to 5; the higher the score the more regularly the activities occur.
|
At baseline; through study completion, an average of 2 months; at the 3rd and the 6th month after study completion
|
Changes from Baseline Illness Perception through Study Completion, at the 3rd and the 6th month after study completion
Time Frame: At baseline; through study completion, an average of 2 months; at the 3rd and the 6th month after study completion
|
Illness Perception Questionnaire-Revised (IPQ-R) has 3 subscales.
The first subscale (identity) determines whether patients attribute specific symptoms to BD (total score: range = 0-10).
The second subscale assesses 25 items of illness perceptions.
The third subscale assessed the causes of BD.
The second and third subscales are rated on a 5-point Likert scale (range: 1~5).
A higher score on each item indicates a stronger belief in that illness perception.
|
At baseline; through study completion, an average of 2 months; at the 3rd and the 6th month after study completion
|
Changes from Baseline Manic Symptom through Study Completion, at the 3rd and the 6th month after study completion
Time Frame: At baseline; through study completion, an average of 2 months; at the 3rd and the 6th month after study completion
|
Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS)--The total score of the 11-item YMRS is the summation of the 2 subscales (range: 0-60), and could be divided into four levels: 0 to 12 means remission, 13 to 19 means minimal severe, > 20 as diagnosed with mania based on DSM-IV(Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, IV) criteria, and over 25 showed obvious symptoms.
|
At baseline; through study completion, an average of 2 months; at the 3rd and the 6th month after study completion
|
Changes from Baseline Depressive Symptom through Study Completion, at the 3rd and the 6th month after study completion
Time Frame: At baseline; through study completion, an average of 2 months; at the 3rd and the 6th month after study completion
|
Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS)--The total score of the 17-item HDRS is the summation of the 2 subscales(ranged: 0- 52), and could be divided into four levels: 0-7 means remission, 8-13 means mild severe, 14-22 means moderate severe, and > 23 means very severe.
