Using a Visuospatial Interference Intervention to Reduce Intrusive Memories Among Trauma Exposed Women

2022年2月14日 更新者:Andri Steinþór Björnsson、University of Iceland
This research study is designed to investigate the use of a simple cognitive task (a memory cue followed by playing the computer game "Tetris") for decreasing the number of intrusive memories of trauma among trauma-exposed women in Iceland. This is a single case series using a within subject multiple baseline AB design. Participants will aim to complete a no-intervention phase ('A': baseline phase) of one week followed by a one-week intervention phase ('B'), including a one-session intervention with a researcher comprising the simple cognitive task, followed by instructions to continue using the technique self-guided in subsequent weeks. Participants will be asked to monitor the occurrence of intrusive memories of trauma in a daily diary. It is predicted that participants will report fewer intrusive memories during the intervention phase than during the preceding baseline phase and that the frequency of targeted intrusive memories is going to decrease relative to non-targeted intrusive memories. Furthermore, we will explore whether having fewer intrusive memories has an impact on function and/or PTSD, depressive or anxiety symptoms.

详细说明

Participants will attend 3-8 sessions with the researcher. In session one, the intrusive memories will be logged for monitoring their frequency in a daily diary for the following weeks. Baseline assessment questionnaires will also administered. In the second session, a memory will be selected and targeted with the intervention (memory reminder followed by 25 min gameplay with mental rotation) followed by monitoring the frequency of both the targeted and non-targeted intrusive memories. Participants will also complete self-rated questions concerning the impact of their intrusive memories. The intervention session will be repeated for other intrusive memories (maximum 6 intervention sessions). In the last intervention session, participants will be asked to complete questionnaires and self-rated questions assessing the impact of their intrusive memories. Participants will be asked to complete measures at 1 month follow-up and at 3 month follow-up. In the 1 month follow-up, participants complete questionnaires and monitor the frequency of intrusive memories for one week in the daily diary.

The previous version of the CTR incorrectly stated that at the 3 month time point the measure of intrusions will be: 'Questions about the frequency of intrusive memories for the past day/week (for each intrusive memory, to be tallied to arrive at a mean frequency for the memories for the previous day and for the week)'. We changed this measure at the study start to using the same diary as we used for the earlier time points (i.e., daily diary with the same level of detail as the ones used at e.g. at 1 month), but failed to update this in the CTR. The measure has been updated retrospectively in the CTR for this timepoint, and should be interpreted with caution accordingly.

实验性的:Trauma exposed women

No Intervention: Baseline phase ('A'):

Measurements collected in a daily diary four times a day (morning, afternoon, evening and night) over one week for the primary outcome (occurrence of intrusive memories of trauma). Individual baseline phases will be used as control periods.

Experimental: Intervention phase ('B'):

A one-session intervention with a researcher including a simple cognitive task (a memory cue and 25 minutes of Tetris game-play with mental rotation) followed by instructions to engage in the task self-guided over the subsequent week. Measurements collected in a daily diary four times a day following the intervention for the primary outcome (occurrence of intrusive memories of trauma).

Intervention: Behavioral: Brief cognitive intervention

Behavioral: Brief cognitive intervention. A one-session intervention with a researcher including a simple cognitive task (a memory cue and 25 minutes of Tetris game play with mental rotation) with instructions to engage in the task self-guided in the subsequent weeks.

主要结果指标

结果测量
措施说明
大体时间
Change in the number of intrusive memories of trauma
大体时间:Baseline week 1; Intervention week 1-6 and 1 month follow-up
Number of intrusive memories of traumatic event recorded by participants in a diary daily (morning, afternoon, evening and night) for one week during the baseline phase and each week during the intervention phase (week 1-6) and during one week at one month follow-up.
Baseline week 1; Intervention week 1-6 and 1 month follow-up
Change in the number of intrusive memories of trauma from baseline to 3 month follow up
大体时间:Baseline week 1; 3 month follow-up

Number of intrusive memories of traumatic event recorded by participants in a diary daily (morning, afternoon, evening and night) per week during the baseline phase and during one week at three month follow-up.

Note that the way this outcome was measured had been specified incorrectly in the previous versions of this CTR (as using questions about frequency) and was therefore updated retrospectively after the end of data collection to the same diary as the previous time points.

Baseline week 1; 3 month follow-up

次要结果测量

结果测量
措施说明
大体时间
Self-guided intervention adherence - usage of the gameplay intervention in daily life
大体时间:Intervention week 2-6
How often did you manage to play Tetris after you experienced an intrusive memory? (11-point scale; 0 = not at all; 10 = every time).
Intervention week 2-6
Feasibility and acceptability ratings for using a smartphone game-play intervention
大体时间:Post intervention up to week 7
Feasibility and Acceptability of the intervention assessed with two self-rated items, "Would you recommend playing Tetris to a friend?" and "Do you consider gameplay to be an acceptable way to reduce the daily frequency of intrusive memories?". Scores could range from 0 - 10 with higher scores indicating greater acceptability/feasibility.
Post intervention up to week 7
Feasibility and acceptability - open ended questions
大体时间:Post intervention up to week 7
Two open-ended questions: 1. "How did you feel about playing Tetris after you had an intrusive memory?" 2. "Did you find the intervention helpful? If yes, how?"
Post intervention up to week 7
Impact of intrusive memories on concentration, sleep and stress - ratings
大体时间:Baseline week 1; Post intervention up to week 7; 1 month follow-up and 3 month follow-up
Six self-rated items to assess the impact of intrusive memories on concentration, sleep, and stress in the past week. 2 items assessing concentration difficulties in general and due to intrusive memories (11-point scale; high scores indicating more difficulties). 2 items assessing sleep disturbances due to intrusive memories (11-point scale; higher scores indicating more sleep disturbance); and 1 item assessing to what degree intrusive memories affected stress levels (0 = not at all; 10 = affected very much).

General impact of intrusive memories - ratings
大体时间:Baseline week 1; Intervention week 1-6; 1 month follow-up and 3 month follow-up
Two items both rated on an 11-point scale: 1. "During the last week, how distressing were your intrusive memories (0 = not at all; 10 = very distressing). 2. During the last week, how vivid were your intrusive memories (0 = not at all; 10= very vivid)
Baseline week 1; Intervention week 1-6; 1 month follow-up and 3 month follow-up
Rating of how long intrusive memories disrupted concentration on average

(11-point scale, higher score indicate greater impact on functioning.)
