Chronic Disease Clinical Trial
Official title:
Evaluation of Patient Education Simulations to Promote Health and Wellness in Patients With Chronic Disease
This pilot study will use a pre-post design to explore the utility of using virtual simulations to provide participant education and counseling for adopting healthy lifestyle behaviors (i.e., physical activity, nutrition, smoking, alcohol use, and anxiety/distress screening) to 60 participants with chronic diseases where lifestyle management is paramount to well-being and disease control (e.g., cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, osteoarthritis). Participants will have access to the simulations through a unique password-protected link over the course of one month. Participants will complete two study visits that are 30-60 minutes in duration each. There is also one optional telephone interview with a mental health professional. The telephone interview it estimated to be 10 minutes in duration and will be audiotapes, with participants' permission. The study surveys will be administrated at baseline, immediately following the simulation use and at one-month baseline measures. The measures will assess lifestyle behaviors related to healthy eating, physical activity, emotional health, smoking behaviors and alcohol use. Measures will also assess the psycho-social constructs of intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy. Finally, the usability of and satisfaction with the simulations will be explored through feedback surveys. The investigator will also seek permission to collect data from the patient's medical chart. Feedback will also be collected from four healthcare providers.
The overarching goal of the pilot study is to assess the acceptability and potential efficacy of the participant education simulation on changes in participants with chronic diseases' lifestyle behaviors as well as motivation and self-efficacy to change. The primary objective is to examine the acceptability (satisfaction, usability) of using virtual simulations to deliver participant education and counseling for adopting healthy lifestyle behaviors among a sample of four healthcare providers and 60 participants with chronic disease. The secondary objectives include examining changes in lifestyle behaviors (e.g., healthy eating, physical activity) one-month following the use of the participant education simulations in a sample of 60 participants with chronic disease (e.g. cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke, arthritis) and to explore the potential mediators (e.g. motivation and self-efficacy) of the simulation effects on the changes in participants' lifestyle behaviors. Participants will communicate with a virtual human, Linda, by selecting from a dynamic menu of dialogue options. Once the learner chooses a dialogue option, they see the virtual human respond by providing personalized feedback and give users an opportunity to revise their choice. In this study, the simulations will be a bundle of four topic-based conversations with Linda, which include fitness and nutrition, smoking cessation, alcohol use, distress and anxiety. ;
