17 februari 2022 bijgewerkt door: Universitat Jaume I

A Smartphone Application of "Family Connections" to Increase the Use of Skills and the Improving of Psychological Symptoms in Relatives of People With Borderline Personality Disorder: a Protocol Study for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

The aims of our study are the following: (a) testing the effectiveness of a combined intervention: "Family Connections" program with a smartphone app versus the same intervention supported by a paper-based manual, (b) studying the feasibility and acceptance of both conditions and (c) evaluating the perceptions and opinions of families about both interventions.

Gedetailleerde beschrijving

Family members of patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) often experience high levels of suffering, anxiety, stress, burden and helplessness. The treatment program with the most empirical support is "Family Connections". It is one of the first programs specifically designed to help relatives of patients with BPD. The program is an adaptation of multiple strategies of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. The results of these studies and their subsequent replications showed an improvement in family attitudes and perceived burden. Two of the technologies with very promising developments are Ecological Momentary Assessment and Ecological Momentary Intervention, that can act on each other. A large number of smartphone apps for people with psychological problems focus on the provision of instructions, adaptive self-help strategies, alarms, electronic diaries or emotional state ratings. The Family Connections app proposed in this article consists of a smartphone app built using EMA and EMI technologies.The aims of our study are the following: (a) testing the effectiveness of a combined intervention: "Family Connections" program with a smartphone app versus the same intervention supported by a paper-based manual, (b) studying the feasibility and acceptance of both conditions and (c) evaluating the perceptions and opinions of families about both interventions.

Maatregel Beschrijving
Tijdsspanne
Burden Assessment Scale (BAS; Horwitz & Reinhard, 1992)
Tijdsspanne: Changes will be assessed from pre-treatment to immediately after the intervention (3 months)
Burden Assessment Scale (BAS) consists of 19 items and it assess the caregivers' objective and subjective burden within the past six months. Items are rated on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 1(nothing) to 4 (a lot), and higher values indicate stronger burden. Internal reliability of the scale ranged from .89 to .91 and it shows adequated validity (Reinhard, Gubman, Horwitz & Minsky, 1994).
Changes will be assessed from pre-treatment to immediately after the intervention (3 months)

Tijdsspanne
Depression, Anxiety and Stress (DASS-21; Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995)
Tijdsspanne: Changes will be assessed from pre-treatment to immediately after the intervention (3 months)
Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS) have 42 items about negative emotional symptoms (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995). Lovibond & Lovinbod (1995) proposed that a part of these subscales for can become part of a short version creating a new questionnaire of 21 items. Items are rated on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (It did not happen to me) to 3 (It happened to me a lot or most of the time), and higher scores indicate worse symptoms of depression, anxiety or stress. DASS-21 showed fantastic factor structures. Regarding to the internal consistency, Cronbach's alphas were excellent for the DASS-21 subscales: Depression (α = .94), Anxiety (α = .87) and Stress (α = .91) (Antony, Bieling, Cox, Enns & Swinson, 1998).
Changes will be assessed from pre-treatment to immediately after the intervention (3 months)
Family Empowerment (FES; Koren, DeChillo & Friesen, 1992)
Tijdsspanne: Changes will be assessed from pre-treatment to immediately after the intervention (3 months)
Family Empowerment Scale (FES) consists of 34 items divided in three subscales: family, service system, and involvement in community that is refered to three ways of empowerment, attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors (Koren, DeChillo & Friesen, 1992). Items are rated on a scale of 1 (completely false) to 5 (totally true), and higher scores indicate a greater sense of empowerment. The psychometric properties are the following: regarding to the internal consistency of FES subscores, the coefficients ranged from .87 to .88 and validity and reliability are adequated (Koren, DeChillo & Friesen, 1992).
Changes will be assessed from pre-treatment to immediately after the intervention (3 months)
Resilience (CD-RISC; Connor & Davidson, 2003)
Tijdsspanne: Changes will be assessed from pre-treatment to immediately after the intervention (3 months)
Connor-Davidson Resilience scale is a 25-item measure of resilience. Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (absolutely not) to 4 (almost always) and the punctuation is based on how the participant has felt over the last month. Higher scores means greater resilience (Connor & Davidson, 2003). The CD-RISC authors reported acceptable test-retest reliability (r = 0.87) and strong internal consistency (α = .89) (Connor & Davidson, 2003).
Changes will be assessed from pre-treatment to immediately after the intervention (3 months)

System Usability Scale (SUS; Brooke, 2013).
Tijdsspanne: Changes will be assessed immediately after the intervention (3 months)
It consists of 10 items measured with a Likert scale with five response options from Strongly agree to Strongly disagree. It is reliable (coefficient alpha of .91) and useful (Bangor, Kortum, & Miller, 2008).
Changes will be assessed immediately after the intervention (3 months)
