Preventive intervention for living donor psychosocial outcomes: feasibility and efficacy in a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT: There are no evidence-based interventions to prevent adverse psychosocial consequences after living donation. We conducted a single-site randomized controlled trial to examine the postdonation impact of a preventive intervention utilizing motivational interviewing (MI) to target a major risk factor for poor psychosocial outcomes, residual ambivalence (i.e. lingering hesitation and uncertainty) about donating. Of 184 prospective kidney or liver donors, 131 screened positive for ambivalence; 113 were randomized to (a) the MI intervention, (b) an active comparison condition (health education) or (c) standard care only before donation. Ambivalence was reassessed postintervention (before donation). Primary trial outcomes-psychosocial variables in somatic, psychological and family interpersonal relationship domains-were assessed at 6 weeks and 3 months postdonation. MI subjects showed the greatest decline in ambivalence (p = 0.050). On somatic outcomes, by 3 months postdonation MI subjects reported fewer physical symptoms (p = 0.038), lower rates of fatigue (p = 0.021) and pain (p = 0.016), shorter recovery times (p = 0.041) and fewer unexpected medical problems (p = 0.023). Among psychological and interpersonal outcomes, they had a lower rate of anxiety symptoms (p = 0.046) and fewer unexpected family-related problems (p = 0.045). They did not differ on depression, feelings about donation or family relationship quality. The findings suggest that the intervention merits testing in a larger, multisite trial.

Project description:BackgroundThe prevalence of malaria in pregnancy and its complications, remain very high in Nigeria. This study aimed to determine the effects of a malaria health educational intervention based on the information-motivation-behavioural skills (IMB) model on malaria preventive practices and pregnancy outcomes.MethodsThe study was a randomized controlled parallel-group study, where 372 randomly selected antenatal care attendees were randomly assigned to one of either two groups after collecting baseline data. The intervention group then received a four-hour health education intervention in Hausa language, which was developed based on the IMB model, while the control group received a similarly designed health education on breastfeeding. Follow up data were then collected from the participants at a first (2 months post-intervention) and second (4 months post-intervention) follow up, and at the end of their pregnancies.ResultsFor both groups, reported ITN use had increased from baseline (Intervention: Often-14.0%, Almost always-9.1; Control: Often-12.4%; Almost always 16.1%) to the time of second follow up (Intervention: Often -28.10%, Almost always-24.5; Control: Often-17.2%; Almost always 19.5%). Reported IPTp uptake at second follow up was also higher for the intervention group (Intervention: Two doses-59.0%, Three doses 22.3%; Control group: Two doses-48.4%, Three doses-7.0%). The drop in the haematocrit levels was greater for the control group (32.42% to 30.63%) compared to the intervention group (33.09% to 31.93%). The Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GLMM) analysis revealed that the intervention had significantly improved reported ITN use, reported IPTp uptake, and haematocrit levels, but had no significant effect on the incidence of reported malaria diagnosis or babies' birth weights.ConclusionsThe intervention was effective in improving ITN use, IPTp uptake, and haematocrit levels. It is, therefore, recommended for the modules to be adopted and incorporated into the routine antenatal care programmes in health centres with predominantly Hausa speaking clients.Trial registrationPan African Clinical Trial Registry, PACTR201610001823405.

Project description:BackgroundThe adherence to cardiac rehabilitation is low. Social media has been used to improve motivation and cardiac rehabilitation completion, but the authors did not find Facebook interventions for these purposes in the literature.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of the Cardiac Rehabilitation Facebook Intervention (Chat) for affecting changes in exercise motivation and need satisfaction and adherence to cardiac rehabilitation.MethodsThe Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire-3 and Psychological Need Satisfaction for Exercise were used to measure motivation and need satisfaction (competence, autonomy, and relatedness) before and after the Chat intervention. To support need satisfaction, the intervention included educational posts, supportive posts, and interaction with peers. The feasibility measures included recruitment, engagement, and acceptability. Groups were compared using analysis of variance and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Paired t tests were used to assess motivation and need satisfaction change, and Pearson or Spearman correlations were used for continuous variables.ResultsA total of 32 participants were lost to follow-up and 22 were included in the analysis. Higher motivation at intake (relative autonomy index 0.53, 95% CI 0.14-0.78; P=.01) and change in need satisfaction-autonomy (relative autonomy index 0.61, 95% CI 0.09-0.87; P=.02) were associated with more completed sessions. No between-group differences were found. Engagement included "likes" (n=210) and "hits" (n=157). For acceptability, mean scores on a 1 (not at all) to 5 (quite a bit) Likert scale for feeling supported and in touch with providers were 4.6 and 4.4, respectively.ConclusionsAcceptability of the Chat group was high; however, intervention feasibility could not be determined due to the small sample size. Those with greater motivation at intake completed more sessions, indicating its importance in cardiac rehabilitation completion. Despite challenges with recruitment and engagement, important lessons were learned.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT02971813; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02971813.International registered report identifier (irrid)RR2-10.2196/resprot.7554.

Project description:BackgroundPostpartum depression and anxiety are the 2 most common perinatal mental health disorders, with prevalence rates higher among women living in the Middle East than in most Western countries. The negative outcomes associated with postpartum depression and anxiety are profound and include less responsive parenting and compromised infant and young child development. Although interventions exist to prevent postpartum depression and anxiety, to date, there have been no studies that have attempted to prevent postpartum depression or anxiety among Arabic-speaking women in the Middle East, including Qatar.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study is to conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of an evidence-based postpartum depression preventive intervention-Mothers and Babies (MB)-culturally adapted for use with Arabic-speaking women in Doha, Qatar. MB is guided by a cognitive behavioral therapy framework that focuses on increasing pleasant activities, promoting healthy thought patterns, and increasing the type and frequency of personal contacts. MB is tailored to specific needs and issues related to pregnancy and the postpartum period.MethodsA multidisciplinary and multiethnic investigator team adapted MB to promote cultural and contextual fit for Arabic-speaking women. Intervention concepts were reviewed to ensure core content would be understood by Arabic-speaking women in Qatar. Subsequently, images, activities, and examples in the intervention manuals were adapted, as needed, to make the content more relevant to Arab culture. To deliver the adapted intervention, 30 Arabic-speaking individuals with mental health backgrounds were trained. The adapted intervention was subsequently pilot-tested with 10 pregnant women receiving prenatal care at Sidra Hospital in Doha. We are now conducting an RCT to examine the effectiveness of the adapted intervention. We plan to enroll 210 pregnant individuals who are Arabic-speaking, with 1:1 randomization to the MB intervention or usual prenatal care. Among the enrolled participants, a stratified subsample of 40 pregnant women with diabetes is being recruited. Data collection will take place at baseline and a 6-month follow-up. The primary outcomes are depressive and anxiety symptoms and perceived stress. Diabetes self-care is the exploratory outcome for the subsample of individuals with diabetes. Intervention implementation will be assessed via client and provider surveys during and after intervention delivery. Power and sample size were calculated using a 2-sided 5% effort rate and assumed analyses on the individual level, accounting for attrition of 20%.ResultsThe cultural adaptation and pilot study of the adapted MB intervention are completed. A total of 157 women have been enrolled in the RCT as of March 31, 2023.ConclusionsThis study is highly innovative, as it is the first study to our knowledge to examine the effectiveness of an evidence-based postpartum depression preventive intervention in the Middle East. Limitations include a single follow-up time point and a small subsample of individuals with diabetes.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT04442529; https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT04442529.International registered report identifier (irrid)DERR1-10.2196/11623.
