Critical Care, Depression, Rehabilitation, Respiratory Insufficiency
Conditions
Brief summary
More and more people are surviving after receiving life support for respiratory failure in the intensive care unit, but these patients often experience problems with depression and physical functioning that lead to reduced quality of life. There is a lack of treatment for these patients, with past research suggesting that treatment may be more successful if mental and physical health are addressed at the same time. This research evaluates whether a therapy delivered via telephone and home visits, combining treatment for depression and physical rehabilitation, is feasible and might help patients recover.
Detailed description
A growing number of Acute Respiratory Failure (ARF) survivors are burdened by depressive symptoms and physical impairments that last for years after intensive care unit discharge. Notably, depressive symptoms are independently associated with subsequent development of new impairments in physical functioning. There is a lack of treatment options to address these impairments in ARF survivors, with past research suggesting combining treatment for mental and physical health might be more successful. Therefore, this study is designed to evaluate: 1. The feasibility (primary outcome) of participant recruitment and retention in a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) of an intervention combining Behavioral Activation (an evidence-based psychological treatment for depression) and physical rehabilitation delivered via telephone and 2 home visits over 12-weeks versus a usual care control group. 2. The efficacy (secondary outcome) of this Behavioral Activation-Rehabilitation intervention to reduce depressive symptoms and improve physical functioning. 3. Modifiable psychosocial risk factors for depressive symptoms in ARF survivors and the association between the intervention and these modifiable factors.
Interventions
Participants will first receive a home visit from a physical therapist (PT) who will evaluate home safety and establish/verify the participant's exercise prescription. Within 1 week, an occupational therapist (OT) will visit the home to: 1) explain the purpose of behavioral activation (BA); 2) help the participant identify long-term recovery goals regarding valued activities; and 3) then, using the principles of BA, identify short-term goals for the next week and an action plan. The OT will then call the participant weekly (weeks 2-5) to review the status of the prior week's goals and use BA to set new goals for the upcoming week. The PT and OT will repeat home visits at week 6 to assess the participant's progress, and the OT will conduct phone calls every 2 weeks for weeks 8-12.

| Behavioral Activation - Rehabilitation | Healthcare Utilization - Rehabilitation | 12 Participants |
| Usual Care Control | Healthcare Utilization - Rehabilitation | 13 Participants |
Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) - Anxiety Subscale
An instrument used to assess anxiety symptoms. Scores range from 0 to 21. A HADS score ≥8 indicates clinically important symptoms on either subscale (more symptoms).
Time frame: End of intervention (12 weeks)
Population: Participants with data collected
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEAN) | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Behavioral Activation - Rehabilitation | Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) - Anxiety Subscale | 6.6 score on a scale | Standard Deviation 3.6 |
| Usual Care Control | Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) - Anxiety Subscale | 6.5 score on a scale | Standard Deviation 4.5 |
Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) - Depression Subscale
An instrument used to assess depressive symptoms. Scores range from 0 to 21. A HADS score ≥8 indicates clinically important symptoms on either subscale (more symptoms).
Time frame: End of intervention (12 weeks)
Population: Participants with data collected
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEAN) | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Behavioral Activation - Rehabilitation | Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) - Depression Subscale | 6.9 score on a scale | Standard Deviation 4.9 |
| Usual Care Control | Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) - Depression Subscale | 5.0 score on a scale | Standard Deviation 4.1 |
Impact of Events Scale - Revised (IES-R)
This is a measure the subjective response to a specific traumatic event (in this case - critical illness and associated ICU experience). The IES-R consists of 22 items, each rated on a 5-point scale; item scores are averaged to generate a mean total score (range: 0-4). Higher score indicates more stress symptoms.
Time frame: End of intervention (12 weeks)
Population: Participants with data collected
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEAN) | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Behavioral Activation - Rehabilitation | Impact of Events Scale - Revised (IES-R) | 0.97 score on a scale | Standard Deviation 0.69 |
| Usual Care Control | Impact of Events Scale - Revised (IES-R) | 0.85 score on a scale | Standard Deviation 0.79 |
Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) - BLIND
Measure of cognitive impairment. Score range 0 - 22. Higher scores indicate better cognitive function.
Time frame: End of intervention (12 weeks)
Population: Participants with data collected
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEAN) | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Behavioral Activation - Rehabilitation | Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) - BLIND | 18.6 score on a scale | Standard Deviation 3.4 |
| Usual Care Control | Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) - BLIND | 17.8 score on a scale | Standard Deviation 3.5 |
Number of Phone Attempts Needed by the OT to Reach the Participant for Each Session
Measure of adherence
Time frame: End of intervention (12 weeks)
Population: Data not collected due to COVID-19 pandemic-related changes for research staff such that fewer staff were available for research procedures, and needed to decrease burden on staff for data collection to allow for prioritizing key data elements (including primary outcomes).
Percentage of Sessions Fully Completed and Partially Completed
Measure of adherence for intervention group
Time frame: End of intervention (12 weeks)
Population: This outcome is for intervention group only
| Arm | Measure | Value (NUMBER) |
|---|---|---|
| Behavioral Activation - Rehabilitation | Percentage of Sessions Fully Completed and Partially Completed | 0.94 percentage of sessions completed |
Personal Health Questionnaire - 8 Item Version (PHQ-8)
The PHQ-8 uses a 4-point Likert scale to assess depressive symptoms. The score range is 0 to 27. Scores 5-9 indicate mild symptoms, 10-14 moderate, and ≥20 severe depressive symptoms. Higher score more symptoms.
Time frame: End of intervention (12 weeks)
Population: Participants with data collected
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEAN) | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Behavioral Activation - Rehabilitation | Personal Health Questionnaire - 8 Item Version (PHQ-8) | 9.3 score on a scale | Standard Deviation 6.9 |
| Usual Care Control | Personal Health Questionnaire - 8 Item Version (PHQ-8) | 6.0 score on a scale | Standard Deviation 6.2 |
