Clinical Trial Summary

This is a single-arm pilot trial to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the 12-week, phone-delivered, Midlife Activity, Stress reduction, Time Efficiency, Resilience, and Youthfulness (MASTERY) intervention, which utilizes positive psychology (PP), motivational interviewing (MI), and specific midlife modules (e.g., on time management, financial stress, caregiving stress, or occupational stress) to promote well-being and physical activity in mid-life adults.


Description:

This is a single-arm proof-of-concept trial of a phone-delivered positive psychology-motivational interviewing (PP-MI) intervention, with content adapted to midlife persons. Midlife adults with low physical activity were recruited from outpatient clinics, completed baseline outcome measures (including wearing an accelerometer to measure activity for one week), completed the 12-week MASTERY intervention, and then completed a follow-up session to obtain repeat outcome information. The intervention, which involved weekly phone sessions with a trained study team member, included the completion of PP exercises, setting physical activity goals, and completion of activities to reduce midlife-specific stressors. The primary outcomes were feasibility and acceptability, and secondary outcomes included accelerometer-measured physical activity and self-report outcomes.

Accepts healthy volunteers No
Gender All
Age group 45 Years to 64 Years
Eligibility Inclusion Criteria: - Age 45-64 years at time of enrollment. - Low physical activity (defined as =150 minutes/week of MVPA, in accordance with consensus recommendations for moderate or greater intensity aerobic physical activity and measured using a brief version of the well-validated International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) scale. Exclusion Criteria: - Existing coronary artery disease. Coronary artery disease will be identified through review of the medical record, with clarification by participants' primary clinician if needed, as part of recruitment procedures. Existing coronary artery disease will be defined as a prior acute coronary syndrome (unstable angina or myocardial infarction) or diagnosed via cardiac catheterization. - To meet criteria for a prior acute coronary syndrome, for myocardial infarction, patients must have experienced at least two of three World Health Organization criteria for an acute myocardial infarction: typical chest pain, elevated cardiac enzymes, and electrocardiographic changes consistent with myocardial infarction. - For unstable angina, participants must have had new onset angina within 2 months, exacerbation of previous angina with rest pain or with minimal exercise, or angina within 2 weeks of myocardial infarction, with confirmation of this diagnosis by the patient's primary medical provider or inpatient treatment team; this definition has been used in prior trials. - To meet criteria for coronary artery disease diagnosed at cardiac catheterization, participants must have had 50% stenosis of the left main artery or 70% stenosis of another coronary artery, consistent with consensus definitions of obstructive coronary artery disease. - Cognitive disturbance precluding participation or informed consent, as identified using a six-item cognitive screen designed to assess suitability for research participation. - Lack of available telephone. - An inability to communicate in English. - A condition limiting physical activity (e.g., arthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), identified by patient and medical record, confirmed by primary medical provider as needed. - Participation in similar programs (e.g., mind-body interventions) as reported by patients.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Proportion of total phone sessions completed To assess the feasibility of the intervention 12 weeks
Primary Mean ease ratings of exercises To assess how easy participants found the assigned exercises. Ratings will be made on a scale of 0-10, with 0 being very difficult and 10 being very easy. 12 weeks
Primary Mean utility ratings of exercises To assess how useful participants found the assigned exercises. Ratings will be made on a scale of 0-10, with 0 being not at all useful and 10 being very useful. 12 weeks
Secondary Proportion of sessions completed by participants To assess the feasibility of study procedures. We will divide the number of phone sessions completed by participants by the total number of phone sessions that could have been completed. 12 weeks
Secondary Change in Moderate-Vigorous Physical Activity ActiGraph GT3X+ step counters are validated as measures of physical activity and have been used in numerous studies of physical activity in patients with medical illness. In this trial, participants will wear the accelerometer for one week at baseline and at 12 weeks. We will report change from baseline to 12 weeks in the average number of minutes of MVPA performed per day. Change from Baseline to 12 weeks
Secondary Change in Positive Affect The positive affect items on the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), a well-validated scale used in other intervention trials and in patients with medical illnesses, will be used to measure positive affect (Range: 10-50). Change will be calculated by subtracting the score at baseline from the score at 12 weeks. Higher scores indicate higher levels of positive affect. Change in score from Baseline to 12 weeks
Secondary Change in Optimism Life Orientation Test-Revised is a well-validated 6-item instrument used to measure dispositional optimism (Range: 0-24). Change will be calculated by subtracting the score at baseline from the score at 12 weeks. Higher scores indicate higher levels of optimism. Change in score from Baseline to 12 weeks
Secondary Change in Depression The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)-depression subscale will be used to measure depression. This is a well-validated scale with few somatic symptom items that can confound mood/anxiety assessment in medically-ill patients (Range: 0-21). Change will be calculated by subtracting the score at baseline from the score at 12 weeks. Higher scores indicate higher levels of depression. Change in score from Baseline to 12 weeks
Secondary Change in Anxiety The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)-anxiety subscale will be used to measure anxiety. This is a well-validated scale with few somatic symptom items that can confound mood/anxiety assessment in medically-ill patients (Range: 0-21). Change will be calculated by subtracting the score at baseline from the score at 12 weeks. Higher scores indicate higher levels of anxiety. Change in score from Baseline to 12 weeks
