Get Moving and Get Well - Pilot Study (GMGWP)

5 mars 2018 mis à jour par: VA Office of Research and Development

Get Moving and Get Well: A Behavioral Activation Program for Veterans With SMI

Individuals with serious mental illness have greater morbidity from physical illness and mortality than the general population, but tend not to initiate or sustain engagement in health promotion interventions. Although promising weight management and wellness interventions have been developed for this population, they are very intensive and tend to have low enrollment, high attrition, and low reach. This pilot study will investigate a novel low-demand intervention that may be initially more acceptable, the Get Moving and Get Well! (GMGW) program. The primary objectives of the proposed study are to investigate the effects of participation in the GMGW program on measures of behavioral activation, self-efficacy, physical activity, general physical and mental health, mood, participants' intent to engage in more intensive physical health interventions, and actual engagement in those programs. Results of this pilot study will inform a future full-scale study of GMGW.

Aperçu de l'étude

Description détaillée

Anticipated Impacts on Veteran's Healthcare: Individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) have greater physical illness morbidity and mortality than the general population, but typically do not enroll in nor complete health promotion interventions. This pilot study will provide preliminary evaluation of a low-demand physical activity intervention that may be acceptable to Veterans with SMI and lead to improved health in this medically vulnerable population.

Project Background: The relatively high rates of morbidity and mortality found among individuals with SMI have led to prioritization by Mental Health QUERI, and other groups, of prevention and health promotion in addition to improved coordination of physical health care for this population. Although promising health promotion interventions have been developed, they are intensive and none seem to successfully address the challenge of improving reach and enrollment while minimizing attrition. We propose to conduct a pilot evaluation of a novel low-demand intervention that may be an acceptable introduction to health promotion, the Get Moving and Get Well! (GMGW) program. Participants in the current version of GMGW have described benefits beyond those expected. We believe a 12-week GMGW program may be an effective and relatively low-demand intervention to promote self-efficacy and physical health in Veterans with SMI through increasing Veteran behavioral activation.

Project Objectives: The objectives of the proposed study are to: (a) determine the effects of participation in the 12-week GMGW program on a measure of behavioral activation; (b) determine the effects of GMGW on measures of self-efficacy, physical activity, general physical and mental health, and mood; and (c) determine the effects of participation in the class on measures of intent to engage and actual engagement in more intensive physical health programs.

Project Methods: In order to inform a future full scale study, we will complete the development of a 12-week manualized GMGW class, assess its acceptability, feasibility and time burden, and evaluate effects of the intervention on key outcome measures. To achieve the aims of the study, we will randomly assign 30 participants to either GMGW or an attention control condition. Participants will complete baseline measures investigating behavioral activation, self-efficacy, physical activity, physical and emotional health, mood, and intent to engage in health promotion activities before beginning the class. These measures will be repeated at the end of the 12-week class, along with questions investigating the acceptability of the interventions. A chart review will investigate actual engagement in health promotion interventions. We will be looking for the emergence of trends for differences in expected directions and response patterns within and between groups that will inform us about effect sizes for the measures and permit a power analysis for the full scale trial. We plan to use repeated measures analysis of variance, controlling for any variables that differ significantly between the intervention and control groups, to test the hypothesis that GMGW participants will have greater improvements on the measures at the end of the 12-week intervention than the control participants. Finally, we will also compare the number of participants who have evidence of participation in new health promotion activities in their medical record using a chi-square test of equal proportions.

Mesure des résultats
Description de la mesure
Délai
Change in Behavioral Activation for Depression Scale
Délai: Baseline (Time point 0 - Pre intervention/control class) and follow-up (Time point Week 12 - after completion of intervention/attention control class)
The BADS asks respondents to rate how much the statements are true for four subscales: Activation, Avoidance/Rumination, Work/School Impairment, and Social Impairment. It has been found to have acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha of .87), test-retest reliability (Pearson's r = .74), good construct validity, and when administered to a clinically depressed sample, the factors held up. Items for each subscale are summed to generate subscale scores. The BADS is made up of 25 questions with response option range from 0 (not at all) to 6 (completely). (Subscore Ranges: Activation: 0-108, Avoidance/Rumination: 0-102, Work/School Impairment: 0-120, Social Impairment: 0-120 Total: 0-150). For all subscales, high scores are consistent with the scale name.

Délai
Change in Exercise Self-Efficacy Questionnaire
Délai: Baseline (Time point 0 - Pre intervention/control class) and follow-up (Time point Week 12 - after completion of intervention/attention control class)
Based on the exercise self-efficacy factors of resisting relapse and making time for exercise, the Exercise Self-Efficacy questionnaire asks respondents to circle how confident they are about their ability to exercise under difficult conditions, such as "when I am tired". An additional item will be added to include hot weather as a possible barrier to physical activity, because of the likelihood of high spring and summer temperatures in our location. This scale was found to be highly reliable (test-retest reliability was .90) (Markus et al., 1992). It is made up of six questions each on a likert-type scale ranging from 1 (not at all confident) to 7 (very confident). These are ratings are then summed for the total score; total score ranges from 6-42 with higher scores indicating higher exercise self efficacy.
Baseline (Time point 0 - Pre intervention/control class) and follow-up (Time point Week 12 - after completion of intervention/attention control class)
Change in CHAMPS (Community Healthy Activities Model Program for Seniors) Questionnaire for Older Adults - Physical Activity Frequency
Délai: baseline and 12 week follow-up
Physical activity and cognitive/social activity will be measured by the CHAMPS (Stewart, et al., 2001) which asks respondents to identify if they participated in an activity (yes or no) how many times a week they participated (continuous variable) and if they did participate, for how many hours per week (rated on a six point scale ranging from less than one hour to more than 9 hours). The CHAMPS assesses for both physical and social/cognitive activities (e.g., "Visit with friends or family (other than those you live with);" "walk briskly").
baseline and 12 week follow-up
Change in Veterans RAND 12 (VR-12)
Délai: Baseline and Follow -up
The VR-12 is based on the Veterans RAND 36 (SF-36) and has been shown to be a good outcome measure of general physical and mental health with significant correlations with morbidity (Kazis, et al., 2006). It provides physical and mental health subscale scores. It consists of 12 questions (several with sub sections) which are rated on three point and five point likert-type scales. These ratings are then assigned values with some scored opposite so that higher values always indicate more positive health. The Physical Health component can range from 10-59 and the Mental Health component from 6-33.
Baseline and Follow -up
Change in Personal Health Information Depression Scale (PHQ-8)
Délai: Baseline and Follow-up
Depression will be measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire-8 (PHQ-8) which has been validated across several populations (Kroenke & Spitzer, 2002). Respondents rate how often they were bothered by eight problems on a likert-type scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day). Scores can range from 0-24; higher scores indicate higher levels of depression with score >10 indicating clinically relevant depression.
Baseline and Follow-up
Change in Intent to Engage
Délai: Baseline and Follow-up
Intent to engage in health promotion was measured with an established scale (Ajzen, 1991) adapted for this project. The Intent To Engage questionnaire consists of eight questions each assessing assess intent, confidence and social support to complete health promotion activities. Each of these is rated on a likert-type scale ranging from 1-7 with some responses reverse scored so that higher responses indicate better intent, confidence, and social support. These are summed for a total score. Total scores range from 24 to 56.
Baseline and Follow-up
Acceptability
Délai: follow-up
Measure of Patient self-report of acceptability of intervention. Participants responded to four questions using a 7 (0-7) point likert-type scale with higher ratings indicating higher acceptability. These were summed for a total score ranging from 0-28.
follow-up
New Health Behaviors From the Beginning of Classes Through Three Months Post End of Class
Délai: Start of class through 3 months post-class
A chart review was completed in order to identify documentation of new health behaviors. Mental health notes were first reviewed and then key terms were searched in all notes during the time period. S We considered a new health behaviors as: Starting or increasing physical activity in a formal program; Starting or increasing physical activity on own; Starting nicotine replacement/report cutting down or quitting smoking/join a smoking cessation group; Treatment for alcohol or SA/Report cutting down on Alcohol use; Report changing diet/formal nutrition consult/etc. Chart abstractors were instructed to make free text notes explaining each event the counted. These were reviewed by the PI for accuracy.
Start of class through 3 months post-class
Change in CHAMPS (Community Healthy Activities Model Program for Seniors) Questionnaire for Older Adults - Physical Activity Duration
Délai: baseline and 12 week follow-up
Physical activity and cognitive/social activity will be measured by the CHAMPS (Stewart, et al., 2001) which asks respondents to identify if they participated in an activity (yes or no) how many times a week they participated (continuous variable) and if they did participate, for how many hours per week (rated on a 1 - 6 point scale ranging from less than one hour to more than 9 hours). The CHAMPS assesses for both physical and social/cognitive activities (e.g., "Visit with friends or family (other than those you live with);" "walk briskly").
