Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this study is to find the best way to help people with primary mitochondrial disease deal with the stress of their condition, and to help these people be better able to "bounce back," or be resilient. In order to do this, the investigators are going to test two interventions (an intervention means that it aims to change something): Promoting Resilience in Stress Management (PRISM) and clinical-focused narrative (CFN) intervention.

Description:

The investigators are going to test two interventions in this pilot study. The first is called Promoting Resilience in Stress Management (PRISM). The second is called clinical-focused narrative (CFN) intervention. These interventions involve talking with the researcher about several specific topics.

Participants will join six virtual study visits. They will be assigned to the PRISM group or the CFN group. During the first study visit, participants will learn about the study and will fill out consent forms if they want to participate. In the next four visits, participants will receive one of the study interventions (PRISM or CFN). Some interventions will be supported with a digital app for participants to track progress and review what was talked about in the intervention. The sixth virtual study visit will be a discussion group that happens a couple months after participants finish the intervention.

Participants will also be sent several surveys to complete. One set of surveys is sent just once after the participant enrolls in the study. Another set of surveys is sent after the participant enrolls and again after the participant finishes the interventions.

The study team will review participants' medical records to confirm they have primary mitochondrial disease and to review the genetic diagnosis. If participants do not have copies of their own medical records or if the study team does not already have access to them, the study team will ask participants to sign a release form to obtain a copy of the medical records and/or genetic testing report.

Intervention

Behavioral:
• Promoting Resilience in Stress Management (PRISM)
This program teaches the four pillars of resilience (stress management, goal setting, cognitive restructuring, and benefit-finding) in a one-on-one training program consisting of four 20-30 minute sessions occurring once weekly.
• Clinical-focused narrative (CFN)
This program consists of questions posed to adults with primary mitochondrial disease at regular mitochondrial medicine center visits. Specific topics will be discussed at each session. This consists four 20-30 minute sessions occurring once weekly.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Determine mean score on validated scale assessing resilience in those who receive PRISM and those who receive CFN.	The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) is a validated measure to assess resilience. Possible scores range from 0-100 (higher scores reflecting greater resilience). Mean scores will be calculated on scales administered to subjects before the intervention and scales administered after intervention completion.	Up to 3 months after the first intervention
Primary	Determine change in mean in scores on validated scale assessing resilience between those who receive PRISM and those who receive CFN.	The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) is a validated measure to assess resilience. Possible scores range from 0-100 (higher scores reflecting greater resilience). Mean scores calculated on scales administered before the intervention will be compared to mean scores on scales administered after completion of the intervention.	Up to 3 months after the first intervention
Primary	Determine variability in scores on validated scale assessing resilience between those who receive PRISM and those who receive CFN.	The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) is a validated measure to assess resilience. Possible scores range from 0-100 (higher scores reflecting greater resilience). Variability in scores of scales collected before starting and after completion of the interventions will be calculated.	Up to 3 months after the first intervention
Primary	Determine mean scores on validated scale assessing coping in those who receive PRISM and those who receive CFN.	The Family Crisis Oriented Personal Scale (F-COPES) is a validated measure to assess coping. Possible scores range from 30 to 150 (higher scores reflect higher levels of coping and problem-solving ability). Mean scores will be calculated on scales administered to subjects before the intervention and scales administered after intervention completion.	Up to 3 months after the first intervention

Primary	Determine mean scores on validated scale assessing quality of life in those who receive PRISM and those who receive CFN.	The 36-Item Short Form Survey Instrument (SF-36) is a validated measure to assess quality of life. Possible scores range from 0-100 (higher scores reflect a more favorable health state). Mean scores calculated on scales administered before the intervention will be compared to mean scores on scales administered after completion of the intervention.
