Self-directed Mobile Mindfulness to Address ICU Survivors' Psychological Distress: the Lift RCT (Lift 3)

1. juni 2026 opdateret af: Duke University

Self-directed Mobile Mindfulness to Address ICU Survivors' Psychological Distress: the Lift RCT sIRB

Serious acute heart and lung illnesses like heart failure, severe COVID, and sepsis often leave survivors struggling not only physically, but also with lasting depression, anxiety, and stress. These problems that are hard to treat because access to mental health care is often limited. To help address this, the researchers created Lift, a fully automated mindfulness program designed with patient input and delivered through a mobile app. The investigators now plan a large, multi-site study to test whether Lift improves mental health and quality of life over six months compared to a critical illness education program called Enlighten Recovery. Overall the goal is to make an easy-to-use, widely accessible program available to people across the U.S., including those who speak Spanish.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

Cardiorespiratory conditions such as the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), congestive heart failure, COVID pneumonia, and sepsis are among the most common causes of mortality and morbidity. They are also notable for high rates of persistent psychological distress symptoms including depression, anxiety, and PTSD that worsen quality of life and outcomes of the underlying conditions. Yet there are few effective strategies able to overcome barriers of limited access to mental health care.

To address this gap, the researchers developed Lift, a completely automated and self-directed mindfulness training intervention, from the ground up with patient input. First, Lift reduced depression symptoms and improved quality of life compared to an education program control in a multicenter pilot RCT (R34 AT008819) among those recently hospitalized with serious cardiorespiratory conditions. Next, a 247-person multicenter 2x2x2 factorial optimization trial (U01 AT00974) compared 8 intervention versions differing by program introduction (app vs. therapist), dose (standard vs. high), and approach to in-the-moment symptom management (app vs. therapist). This trial demonstrated that while all versions had a strong effect on depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms, the high dose, app-only version was optimized for effect, adherence, and retention.

Given these promising findings, a formal test of the optimized Lift mobile mindfulness intervention's efficacy is needed. Therefore, the investigators propose a 4-site multicenter RCT with 6-month follow up among 450 cardiorespiratory failure survivors with elevated post-discharge symptoms of psychological distress. The specific aims will: (1) Test Lift vs. an education program control delivered by similar platforms on symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and quality of life; (2a) Determine patient-level characteristics associated with a greater treatment response among a priori-defined subgroups using a heterogeneity of treatment effects analysis; (2b) Explore novel adherence metrics and outcomes; and (3) Ensure off-the-shelf intervention readiness with an exploratory mixed-methods hybrid type 1 implementation framework analysis that integrates quantitative trial implementation data with semi-structured trial participant interviews.

Innovative and unique elements include a fully automated mobile health delivery system that personalizes content in response to changes in symptom trajectories, the inclusion of Spanish language versions of intervention and control programs, and strong community engagement with formalized roles. This project addresses national research priorities and could advance the field with a personalizable yet population-scalable therapy that has the potential to broadly improve mental health access.

Tidsramme
Patient Health Questionnaire 9-item depression scale (PHQ-9)
Tidsramme: Baseline to 1 month
The PHQ-9 is a primary trial outcome measure and the PHQ-9 score at 1 month is the primary trial outcome (Kroenke K, et al. J Gen Intern Med 606-13, 2001). The PHQ-9 is a well-validated metric with English and Spanish versions used in thousands of RCTs. Scores can range from 0 (no depression symptoms) to 27 (serious depression symptoms). The PHQ-9 MCID is 2-4 units.

Tidsramme
Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale (GAD-7)
Tidsramme: Baseline to 3 months
The GAD-7, like the related PHQ-9, has excellent psychodynamic properties including reliability, test-retest stability, accuracy, responsiveness, and validity as supported by confirmatory factor analysis (Spitzer RL, et al. Arch Intern Med. 166:1092-1097, 2006). GAD-7 scores can range from 0 [no distress] to 21 [high distress]); symptom severity is interpreted as mild (5-9), moderate (10-14), and severe (15-21). The GAD-7 MCID is 2-4 units.

Arch Intern Med. 166:1092-1097, 2006). GAD-7 scores can range from 0 [no distress] to 21 [high distress]); symptom severity is interpreted as mild (5-9), moderate (10-14), and severe (15-21). The GAD-7 MCID is 2-4 units.
Baseline to 6 months
The Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome inventory (PTSS)
Tidsramme: Baseline to 1 month
The PTSS rates 10 post-traumatic stress symptoms (range 10 [no symptoms] to 70 [high burden of symptoms]). A score >20 represents clinically important PTSD symptoms, while a score >=34 suggests likely PTSD.(Nickel M, et al. J Int Care Med. 19:285-290, 2004; Stoll C, et al. Int Care Med. 25:697-704, 1999) Compared to DSM-IV criteria, it is 98% specific and 77% sensitive for the diagnosis of PTSD among ICU survivors.(Stoll C, et al. Int Care Med. 25:697-704, 1999) The PTSS has excellent internal consistency, reliability, and responsiveness. (Schelling G, et al. Crit Care Med. 26:651-659, 1998; Twigg E, et al. Acta Anaesth Scand. 52:202-208, 2008) Furthermore, it is short and easily understood. Although formal psychometric testing has not clearly defined the PTSS's minimal clinically important difference, a 5-unit change represents a significant change in score in a single item and will therefore be used as a benchmark for this project.

The Patient Health Questionnaire 10-Item scale (PHQ-10)
Tidsramme: Baseline to 1 month
The investigators will use the PHQ-10, which is an adaptation of the PHQ-15 (Kroenke K, et a. Psychosom Med. 64:258-66, 2002), a scale they have used successfully in past work, to assess physical symptoms across 10 domains. The PHQ-15 is reliable, responsive, and easily understood. The study team's PHQ-10 adaptation collapsed several pain items into a single item based on patient feedback. The scale is from 0 to 30.
