Spina Bifida Clinical Trial
— CHATSOfficial title:
Psychosocial Adjustment of Adolescents With Spina Bifida
The purpose of this longitudinal study is to evaluate a developmentally-oriented bio-neuropsychological model of adjustment in youth and young adults with spina bifida. The theoretical framework for the study is a developmentally-oriented bio-neuropsychosocial model of psychological adjustment.

Eligibility | Inclusion criteria for youth with SB were: 1. a diagnosis of SB (types included myelomeningocele, lipomeningocele, myelocystocele), 2. age 8-15 years at Time 1, 3. ability to speak and read English or Spanish, 4. involvement of at least one primary custodial caregiver, 5. residence within 300 miles of the laboratory (to allow for home visits to collect data). Latino families were intentionally oversampled to better study this subpopulation of youth with SB, given their prevalence. |

Primary | Transition to Adult Healthcare Interview and Coding System | Young adults will be asked questions about their pediatric care and whether they have transitioned to a primary care provider and/or an adult-oriented health care service. A quantitative coding system was developed by this team to score each participant on their transition status. The success of the transition is assessed separately for each provider, is based on an assessment of whether or not the youth has experienced transition-related meetings and includes an assessment of each youth's subjective opinion regarding their transition status. Finally, the success of the transition is assessed by examining how they manage health-related complications. | when youth are 18 years old; 8-10 years after the start of the study | |
Primary | Medical History Questionnaire | Data regarding adherence will be obtained from the Medical History Questionnaire. The Medical History Questionnaire was adapted from the Parent-Report of Medical Adherence in Spina Bifida Scale (PROMASB, Holmbeck et al., 1998), which was developed for a previous study on youth with spina bifida by the same investigator. The measure is designed to obtain disease-specific medical information, including bowel and bladder functioning, ambulation, medications, providers and frequency of medical care, and surgery history. | when youth are 18 years old; 8-10 years after the start of the study | |
Primary | Spina Bifida Self-Management Profile | The Spina Bifida Self-Management Profile (SBSMP) was developed by Wysocki and Gavin (2006). The SBSMP is a 14-question, structured interview addressing seven dimensions of the spina bifida regimen, including appointment keeping, bowel control program, skin and wound care, exercise, medications, clean intermittent catheterization, and dealing with urinary tract infections. Item content, wording, and scoring was developed with the consultation of medical experts. Internal consistency is acceptable, with an alpha of .66 for mothers of children with spina bifida (Wysocki & Gavin, 2006). In this study, the SBSMP will be administered as a questionnaire rather than in interview format. | when youth are 18 years old; 8-10 years after the start of the study | |
Secondary | Sharing of Spina Bifida Management Responsibilities | A self-report measure of psychosocial adjustment, the Sharing of Spina Bifida Management Responsibilities (SOSBMR) is adapted from the Diabetes Family Responsibility Questionnaire (DFRQ; Anderson, Auslander, Jung, Miller, & Santiago, 1990). The DFRQ consists of 17 items that describe diabetes and general health-related situations or tasks relevant to children and adolescents. Reporters rate each task on a three-point Likert scale as a child, parent, or shared responsibility. Participants were instructed to check the N/A box if the task is not part of their care. Higher scores indicate greater child responsibility. Items fall into three subscales, including general health maintenance, regimen tasks, and social presentation of diabetes. | when youth are 18 years old; 8-10 years after the start of the study | |
Secondary | Spina Bifida Readiness for Self-Management | A self-report measure of psychosocial adjustment, the Spina Bifida Readiness for Self-Management questionnaire is a self-report questionnaire adapted from a model of stages of change relating to smoking cessation (DiClemente et al., 1991). The Spina Bifida Readiness for Self-Management questionnaire instructs respondents to indicate the frequency of behaviors over the prior six months across 14 items relating to appointment keeping, bowel control program, skin and wound care, exercise, medications, clean intermittent catheterization, and dealing with urinary tract infections. The questionnaire also assesses the presence and frequency of spina bifida-related complications (i.e., pressure sores/wounds on skin) over the previous six months, and co-occurring medical disorders (i.e., Type II diabetes). | when youth are 18 years old; 8-10 years after the start of the study | |
Secondary | Spina Bifida Independence Survey | A self-report measure of psychosocial adjustment, the Spina Bifida Independence Survey (SBIS) is adapted from the Diabetes Independence Survey (DIS; Wysocki et al., 1996). The DIS is a brief measure of the parent's evaluation of the child's growth and development of diabetes knowledge and skills among children and adolescents with diabetes. Participants respond "yes" or "no" to whether their child has mastered a disease-related skill (e.g. "Can your child state each type of insulin he/she uses?") | when youth are 18 years old; 8-10 years after the start of the study | |
Secondary | Spina Bifida Barriers to Adherence Questionnaire (SBBAQ) | A self-report measure of psychosocial adjustment, the Spina Bifida Barriers to Adherence Questionnaire (SBBAQ) is a self-report measure assessing multiple spina bifida-related barriers, adapted from the Barriers to Diabetes Adherence (BDA) measure for adolescents (Mulvaney, et al., 2011). The SBBAQ instructs subjects to indicate how true to them different statements are on a five-point likert scale (1 = Completely Not True to 5 = Completely True). | when youth are 18 years old; 8-10 years after the start of the study | |
Secondary | Spina Bifida Self-Efficacy Survey | A self-report measure of psychosocial adjustment, the Spina Bifida Self-Efficacy Survey (SBSS) is a self-report questionnaire adapted from a measure of self-efficacy and self-management for adolescents with diabetes (Iannotti et al., 2006). The SBSS instructs respondents to indicate how sure they are they can complete tasks on their own all of the time across 17 items, on a five-point likert scale (i.e., 1 = Completely Unsure to 5 = Completely Sure). | when youth are 18 years old; 8-10 years after the start of the study |
