NCT ID: NCT05074004 Completed - Psychoeducation Clinical Trials

The Effect of Psychoeducation Given In Psychiatry Day Hospital

Start date: February 15, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background: Psychoeducation is a process used in the realization of the principles of treatment and rehabilitation of mental illnesses and aims to help the patient and his/her family outside the hospital, to help the patient cope with the problems, experiencing, and to support them to live productive lives in society. Aims: This study aims to determine the effect of psychoeducation, given in a psychiatry dayhospital, on patients' self-sufficiency and well-being. Methods: The research is a single-blind randomized controlled experimental study. The sample of the study consisted of 28 schizophrenic patient(14experiment-14control), who agreed to participate in the study, followed in XXX University Psychiatry Day Hospital. In the study, an 8-week psychoeducation program was applied to the experimental group, and no intervention was made tothe control group. Socio-demographic data form, self-sufficiency scale, and well-being scale were used as data collection tools. The data obtained were analyzed using theSPSS-23 package program. Results: After the eight-week psychoeducation program, the pretest and posttest scores of the evaluations obtained from the scales of both groups were compared. It was found that while there was no change in thescores of the control group, there was an increase in the well-being and self-efficacy scores of the experimental group. While the increase in well-being was statistically significant(p<0.05), the increase in self-sufficiency score wasnot statistically significant(p>0.05), but the numerical increase was considered tobe aclinically significant result.

NCT ID: NCT02390557 Completed - Physical Disability Clinical Trials

Persons With Disabilities Generating Quality Metrics

Start date: July 1, 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

No standard way exists to measure the quality of medical care or independent living long-term services and supports provided to persons with disabilities. This project will: provide a broader picture of how consumers with disabilities define care and care quality; measure the value of using consumers' expertise in developing, collecting, and assessing quality measures; and use this information to assist One Care providers in improving care delivered to their enrollees

NCT ID: NCT02264327 Completed - HIV/AIDS Clinical Trials

Phase II Motivational Interviewing: An Experiential Online Training Tool

Start date: August 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Clinical social workers, doctors, outreach workers, and all other staff providing direct care to vulnerable populations face multiple challenges in obtaining and maintaining training and implementing evidence based practices in diverse community settings. Motivational Interviewing is a well-established evidence based practice that is challenging to implement across programs and agencies because it requires that skills gained from training be reinforced as a service provider employs the practice. This study builds on findings from a Phase I study. With funding from a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research grant from the National Institute of Health, the Center for Social Innovation developed the Motivational Interviewing Simulator: An Experiential Online Training Tool. The interactive, case-based, multiplayer web-based game allows service providers to deepen their skills in Motivational Interviewing (MI), a widely recognized evidence-based practice that supports people to make positive behavior changes related to health, wellness, mental illness, and addiction. The Phase II randomized controlled trial's primary aim is to assess the relative effectiveness of three interventions (MI Training Only; MI Training + eBook; MI Training + SIM) in increasing provider MI knowledge and skill retention over time. During Phase II of this study, we will recruit 180 providers from 18 community agencies serving individuals who live in supportive housing, many of whom have histories of mental illness, addiction, homelessness, and medical problems. After receiving a standardized two-day onsite MI training, participants will be randomized into one of three conditions: 1) MI Training Only; 2) MI Training + eBook (an online comparison with comparable information to the Simulator without the interactive elements); or 3) MI Training + Simulator. The longitudinal, mixed methods study will assess providers' acquisition and retention of MI knowledge and skills through surveys and coding of standardized client interviews; barriers and facilitators of MI implementation via focus groups; organizational-level data via key informant interviews and site visits; and client outcomes for 3,600 clients through surveys, administrative, data and focus groups.

NCT ID: NCT01683539 Completed - Schizophrenia Clinical Trials

Understanding How Cognitive Remediation Works

Cog-2
Start date: September 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study is aimed at evaluating whether the computer-based cognitive exercises in the Thinking Skills for Work (TSW) program are critical to improving work and cognitive outcomes in consumers with serious mental illness and cognitive impairment enrolled in supported employment (SE), or whether a streamlined version of TSW without this component (the Cognitive Skills for Work (CSW) program) is equally effective for some or all consumers. An RCT will be conducted at two sites (Mental Health Center of Greater Manchester in New Hampshire and Thresholds Inc. in Illinois) with 244 consumers randomly assigned to one of two groups (122 each, with approximately 122 participants having schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder and 122 of the participants having other diagnoses): 1) TSW, or 2) CSW. The TSW and CSW programs will be delivered by the same Cognitive Specialists, who will work as members of the SE team to integrate cognitive and vocational services. All participants will continue to receive SE services. Participants will be assessed at baseline, post-treatment at 8 months (after completion of the active teaching components of TSW or CSW), and at 16 and 24 months post-baseline to evaluate cognitive functioning, symptoms, and quality of life. All work outcomes will be tracked weekly. In addition, a supplementary study, commencing in September 2015, will assess a promising biomarker for understanding the mechanisms underlying the effects of cognitive remediation, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), in new enrollees in the parent R01 study. This supplement will complement the aims of the parent R01 by shedding light on possible mechanisms related to how TSW works and for whom, thereby informing efforts to refine and improve the program, as well as targeting individuals who fail to benefit. The supplement will take place at the same sites as the parent R01.
