Comparison of Two Psycho-educational Family Group Interventions for Persons With SCI and Their Caregivers

11 april 2019 uppdaterad av: Douglas L. Weeks, St. Luke's Rehabilitation Institute
Each year over 12,000 spinal cord injuries (SCI) occur in the United States. These injuries result in incredibly difficult, long-term, life adjustments both for patients and their caregivers. Many families continue to struggle with the physical, emotional and social impacts of SCI for months and years after the injury. Family education and support improves the outcomes of other challenging long-term conditions such as Traumatic Brain Injury, but little effort has been made to provide such interventions for persons with SCI and their caregivers. The proposed study will address this problem by refining and testing a group treatment for SCI called Multi-family Group (MFG) intervention. The groups will include people with SCI and their primary caregivers, and will be facilitated by an "educator" who is a health care provider who works with people with SCI. By providing education about the management of SCI and support in an MFG format, quality of life for persons with SCI is predicted to be improved. In turn, it is expected that caregivers will also benefit from the information, problem-solving activities, and social support that they receive from the educators and other group members. The investigators will recruit 32 individuals with SCI who have been discharged from inpatient rehabilitation within the previous three years and their primary caregivers. Participants will be randomized to the MFG intervention or to an education control condition and tested before and after treatment and 6 months following treatment. It is hypothesized that participants receiving MFG-SCI will have better outcomes than controls on measures of quality of life, health, and adjustment. The study will also test whether participants who are more recently discharged from inpatient rehabilitation will experience greater benefit from the MFG intervention or the education control intervention. If the outcomes support the hypotheses, the MFG intervention should be made available to those with SCI and their caregivers.

Intervention / Behandling
Aktiv komparator: SCI Education Control Group
The SCIEC condition is a 16-session, highly structured educational intervention that provides information on how SCI affects the body; methods for maximizing function, coping, and living with SCI; and staying healthy with SCI. It also includes general guidelines for improving health behavior. Each SCIEC session follows the same structure, beginning with a presentation of the objectives for the current session and a brief review of material from the previous session before introducing the session's topic and presenting information on one or two key problem areas. SCIEC utilizes a traditional didactic model with information delivered by an expert SCI educator in a classroom or lecture setting.
Beteende: SCI Education Control Group
Experimentell: Multi-family Group Treatment
The MFG Program uses a structured problem-solving and skills training program to provide participants with SCI and their caregivers with tools and information to improve coping and help family members to connect through positive behavioral exchanges. MFG educators are health professionals with experience in management of SCI, such as physical therapists, recreational therapists, occupational therapists, and psychologists. MFG will last for 16 sessions across 9 months.
Beteende: Multi-Family Group Treatment

Åtgärdsbeskrivning
Tidsram
Change in ability to take action to improve one's health from baseline to end of treatment
Tidsram: 9 months
Ability to take action to improve one's health will be assessed with the Patient Activation Measure (PAM) and the 8-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-8). The PAM will measure the degree of individual's knowledge, confidence, and skill to participate in self-management. A higher degree of patient activation has been associated with better health outcomes for adults with chronic conditions. The SF-8 will assess self-reported general health, physical functioning, role-limitations due to physical health problems, bodily pain, and vitality.
9 months
Change in emotion regulation and interpersonal skills from baseline to end of treatment
Tidsram: 9 months
Emotion regulation and interpersonal skills will be assessed with the Anger Expression Scale (AXS), the Abbreviated Duke Social Support Index (ADSSI), and the Family Crisis Oriented Personal Evaluation Scales (F-COPES). The AXS measures anger management including anger-in (suppression of angry feelings), anger-out (expression of anger towards property or people) and anger control (the frequency of attempts to control expressions of anger). The ADSSI measures both subjective support and social network interactions. The F-COPES assesses family-level coping including use of social/spiritual support, reframing negative events, and mobilizing the family to acquire/accept help.
9 months
Change in mental health and health behavior from baseline to end of treatment
Tidsram: 9 months
Mental health and health behavior will be assessed for the presence and severity of depressive symptoms, substance use, and in caregivers, burden of care, as these may influence benefits derived from treatment. The 10-item Center for Epidemiologic Study of Depression (CESD-10) will measure depressive symptoms, and the Addiction Severity Index-Lite (ASI-L) will evaluate alcohol and substance use and related problems. The Caregiver Burden Inventory (CBI) will evaluate caregiver burden in four areas: physical, social, emotional and time dependence burden.
