Almost 1% of infants are born with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD), an umbrella term referring to a range of anomalies in the heart's structure that are present at birth. Owing to significant medical advances, it is now estimated that more than 90% of persons born with CHD will reach adulthood. Children with CHD and their families' mental health outcomes need for psychosocial care. This study will intend to improve the psychological functioning of children, adolescents with CHD and their parents. The research will comprise of two major studies. The sample of first study will be based on a Cohort (From April 2021 to October 2021) of children, adolescent and their parents. Participants will be assessed for their psychological functioning and health related quality of life using Strength and Difficulty Questionnaire, pedsQL 3.0 cardiac module , Parental Stress Index , and 36-Item Short Form Survey. It is hypothesized that parental psychological functioning will mediate the relationship between psychological functioning of children and adolescent with CHD and their health related quality of life. It is also hypothesized that emotional behavioral issues of children and adolescents will moderate the link between parental psychological functioning and their quality of life. Illness parameters and sociodemographic correlates will serve as covariates in the study. This study will provide a baseline for the second study that is expected to use a randomized control trial of an intervention program based on training workshops derived from CHIP for the reduction in parental distress, emotional behavioral problem and improvement in health related quality of life among children, adolescent with CHD and their parents. The pretest-posttest design will be used. The randomized control trial will be conducted as per Consort Guidelines. A sub sample will be selected from the initial study using purposive sampling. Intervention study will include a subsample of CHD population (60 children and adolescents each) and their parents using purposive sampling technique. The participants will be randomly assigned to experimental & control groups. Illness related and demographic parameters will be distributed equally in both groups for establishing control. The intervention will be administered to experimental group only, while control group will receive regular treatment. Results of Pretest and posttest measures will be statistically analyzed. The designed intervention program (using problem solving therapy, psycho-education and Parenting the child with CHD training) will lower the level of parental stress in parents and emotional behavioral issues in CHD population. It will further increase the level of health related quality of life among children and adolescent with CHD and their parents. The research will incorporate psychosocial care with CHD population along with their regular treatment and thus improve their future health related outcomes in Pakistan.
Five session CAT (Cognitive Analytic Therapy) consultancy was developed for patients whom services 'struggle to help', such as those with diagnoses of personality disorder. Five session CAT consultancy works with both patients and care coordinators, utilising key elements of CAT including reciprocal roles and reformulation to inform care planning and case management. The proposed study expands on the existing evidence base by utilising a comparator; a treatment as usual condition. The proposed mixed methods feasibility study will compare outcomes for both patients and care coordinators to assess the effectiveness of the intervention compared to controls in a community mental health team.
Objective To evaluate the incidence of psychological problems in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients and examine whether perioperative psychological intervention can improve the outcomes of and patient satisfaction with TKA. Methods The investigators will prospectively collect clinical data from 400 patients who underwent primary TKA by the same surgeon at Peking University Third Hospital. The patients will be divided into 3 groups based on psychological status and intervention: the normal group comprised patients with a normal psychological status, while patients with an abnormal psychological status will be randomly divided into the intervention group, which received psychological interventions, and the control group, which do not receive any psychological interventions. The HSS（Hospital of special surgery） and WOMAC scores will be evaluated preoperatively, 3 months postoperatively and 6 months postoperatively. A self-administered satisfaction scale (very satisfied, somewhat satisfied, somewhat dissatisfied, very dissatisfied) that assessed overall satisfaction as well as satisfaction with pain relief and the ability to perform daily and leisure activities will be administered 6 months postoperatively. Hypothesis A certain percentage of TKA patients have preoperative psychological abnormalities. Preoperative psychological abnormalities can have an adverse effect on postoperative improvement in joint function and can reduce patient satisfaction. Preoperative psychological intervention can improve the prognosis of TKA patients with psychological disorders.
