Mobilized Psychoeducation and Skills Based Intervention (Pep-Pal) for Caregivers of Patients With Advanced Illness

31 juli 2020 uppdaterad av: University of Colorado, Denver

A Pilot Study of a Mobilized Psychoeducation and Skills Based Intervention (Pep-Pal) for Caregivers of Patients With Advanced Illness

The proposed project is a pilot study of the Pep-Pal (Psychoeducation and Skills Based Intervention) versus a treatment as usual control group. A total of 60 caregivers; including caregivers of patients with HSCT (Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation), caregivers enrolled in Phase I clinical trials, and caregivers of patients with advanced cancer (Stage III, solid tumor) will be enrolled in this study. The investigators do not expect different outcomes from these three groups, rather these populations are selected to optimize recruitment within a short time frame. The caregivers will be randomized to either treatment as usual or Pep-Pal intervention.

Detaljerad beskrivning

The proposed project is a pilot study of the Pep-Pal intervention versus a treatment as usual control group. A total of 60 caregivers; caregivers of patients with HSCT, caregivers of patients enrolled in phase I oncology trials, and caregivers of patients with advanced cancer (Stage IV, solid tumor) will be enrolled in this study. The investigators do not expect different outcomes from these three groups, rather these populations are selected to optimize recruitment within a short time frame. The caregivers will be randomized to either treatment as usual or Pep-Pal intervention. The proposed study population is based on prior research indicating that caregivers of patients receiving HSCT, caregivers of patients enrolled in phase I oncology trials, and caregivers of patients with advanced cancer experience significant distress. In addition, an initial study of caregivers of patients receiving allogeneic-HSCT were able to benefit from a brief, cognitive behavioral stress management treatment approach. A study examining distress in phase I oncology clinical trial patient caregivers highlighted the need for more support for this significantly distressed population. Furthermore, initial results of the qualitative development study for Pep-Pal yielded support for a mobilized platform delivery of resources for caregivers to manage distress because they acknowledged many barriers to engaging in in-person treatment to manage distress.

Deltagargrupp / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Experimentell: Pep-Pal + Treatment as Usual
If the caregiver is assigned to the Pep-Pal intervention condition, the RA will provide access to the mobilized website (passcode) through an email. Caregivers will be instructed to watch each session at least once. It will be recommended that caregivers watch one to two new sessions per week so that they can have enough time to practice the skills between sessions. In addition, they will be told that they can go back and watch the sessions for review as many times as they like. Full participation will be defined as watching at least 7/9 sessions (75% of program) based on previous criteria for similar intervention completion in a prior trial with advanced cancer patients.
Övrig: Behandling som vanligt
Beteende: Pep-Pal
Pep-Pal is designed to complement the utilization of other resources, provide support when no other resources can be obtained, or provide support in the interim until greater resources can be obtained. In this way, Pep-Pal is a resource for our most hard to reach caregivers.
Aktiv komparator: Treatment as Usual
Treatment as usual provides voluntary (at the caregiver's discretion) support services for the caregivers which is rarely used by the caregivers.
Övrig: Behandling som vanligt

Åtgärdsbeskrivning
Tidsram
Evaluation of Exit Interviews
Tidsram: 12 weeks
Qualitative feedback will be gathered from the first 15 Pep-Pal completer's for individual interviews (5 from Phase I group, 5 from Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) group, 5 from medical oncology) upon completion of the follow-up assessments at 12 weeks about usage, acceptability of content, and impressions of using Pep-Pal.
12 weeks
Pep-Pal Self-Report sessions at 12 Weeks
Tidsram: 12 weeks
The Investigators will assess feasibility by examining recruitment, retention, as well as reasons for refusal, frequency of sessions watched and length of time spent watching each session. Self report usage of peppal: Usage of Pep-Pal will be quantitatively assessed by asking each participant in the intervention group about their usage including frequency; how many times they watched each session and length of viewing for each session (partial or complete). They will be asked to rate level of usage based on a Likert-scale ranging from not at all to very often for each session (0-10). They will be asked to rank order the list of sessions from most helpful to least helpful.
