Smart Phone Delivered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Adults With Psoriasis and Co-Morbid Depression Symptoms
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
- To demonstrate the feasibility and acceptability of coach-guided, smartphone-delivered CBT for depression among adults with psoriasis
- To demonstrate the preliminary efficacy of coach-guided, smartphone-delivered CBT on the symptoms of depression and psoriasis
Primary endpoints
- Percentage of participants who engage with at least 6/8 (75%) modules
- Median Client Satisfaction Questionnaire-8 score at week 8
- Change from baseline in PHQ-9 at week 8
Secondary Endpoints
- Rate of participant dropout
- App acceptability to participants, as measured by the uMARS
- Change from baseline in Skindex-16 at week 8
- Change from baseline in PSI at week 8
- Change from baseline in AAI at week 8
- Frequency & severity of related adverse events
- The patient perspective on the feasibility and acceptability (qualitative)
Analysis Plan Investigators will assess the feasibility of smartphone-based CBT by reporting the proportion of participants who engaged with at least 75% of the treatment modules and assess patient acceptability with descriptive statistics summarizing the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire scores. Paired t-tests will be used to examine the differences in the pre- and post- treatment PHQ-9 scores, in all patients who complete the baseline study visit. Additionally, secondary outcomes (dropout rates, patient feedback from the Mobile Application Rating Scale, Skindex-16, Psoriasis Symptom Inventory, Appearance Anxiety Inventory) will be reported descriptively. Post-treatment interviews will be transcribed, edited for clarity, coded to identify themes and summarized.

Client Satisfaction Questionnaire-8 (CSQ-8)
Time Frame: change from baseline to Week 8
|
The CSQ-8 is an 8 item, self-reported questionnaire that measures satisfaction with clinical services received on a 1-4 scale.
Scores are summed across items once.
Items 2, 4, 5, and 8 are reverse scored.
Total scores range from 8 to 32, with the higher number indicating greater satisfaction .

Patient Health Questionaire-9 (PHQ-9)
Time Frame: Week 8
|
The PHQ-9 is a widely used, reliable, and valid self-report measure of depression severity, It includes nine Likert scale items ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (every day), where higher scores indicate more severe depressive symptoms.

user Mobile Health Rating Scale (uMARS)
Time Frame: Week 8
|
The uMARS is a 20-item measure provides reliable measure of app quality in target users.
It includes 4 objective quality subscales-engagement, functionality, aesthetics, and information quality and 1 subjective quality subscale.
Each feature is rated on a scale from 1 (inadequate) to 5 (excellent).
|
Week 8
|
Skindex-16
Time Frame: Week 8
|
The Skindex-16 is a brief patient reported outcome that measures functioning, emotions and symptoms associated with chronic skin diseases.
Each item is assessed on a 7-point Likert scale and all responses are transformed to a linear scale of 100.
The over all score ranges from 0 (no effect) to 100 (effect experienced all the time).
|
Week 8
|
Appearance Anxiety Inventory (AAI)
Time Frame: Week 8
|
The AAI is a 10 item self-report questionnaire assessing the frequency of cognitive processes (e.g., rumination, self-focused attention) and behavioral responses (e.g.
social avoidance, appearance checking) in Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD).
Individuals respond to items on a 5-point Likert Scale (0= not all to 4= all the time) and a total score is obtained by summing all the items (range is 0 to 40).
The reliable change score is 7 and above.
|
Week 8
|
Frequency of participants with adverse events
Time Frame: Week 8
|
Participants will be asked to describe any new health problems or injuries and developed while participanting in the study.
