Self-regulation for Older Adults With Asthma Through Remote Education

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Asthma
Interventions
Behavioral: SOAR intervention
Registration Number
NCT05722834
Lead Sponsor
University of Michigan
Brief Summary

This research is studying whether changing an individual's behaviors may have an impact as a treatment or outcome for asthma.

The purpose of this study is to implement and evaluate an asthma self-management intervention through multiple locations in the United States that is tailored to the challenges older adults face and is based on an individual behavioral theory of change.

Eligible participants will be enrolled and participate for six weeks in the SOAR intervention.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM) of the SOAR intervention for patients and providersDay 43

A 4-item measure of perceived intervention acceptability. Items are measured on a 5-point Likert scale (Completely Disagree-Completely Agree). Score is calculated mean. Higher scores indicate greater perceived acceptability.

Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM) for patients and providersDay 43

This is a 4-item measure of perceived intervention appropriateness. Items are measured on a 5-point Likert scale (Completely Disagree-Completely Agree). Score is calculated mean. Higher scores indicate greater perceived appropriateness.

The Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM) of the SOAR intervention for patients and providersDay 43

A 4-item instrument to assess perceived intervention feasibility. Items are measured on a 5-point Likert scale (Completely Disagree-Completely Agree). Score is calculated mean. Higher scores indicate greater perceived feasibility.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Mini Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQOL)baseline to 6 months

This is a 15 question questionnaire. The scores range 1-7, with higher scores indicating better quality of life.

Change in Perceived Control of Asthma Questionnaire (PCAQ)baseline to 6 months

This questionnaire has 11 questions. Responses are graded on a 5-point scale, scoring between 11 and 55, with higher scores reflecting greater perceived control of asthma.

Change in Short Form Health Survey (SF-12v2) - 12 questions. Survey responses are grouped into two scales: physical score and mental score. Higher scores indicate perception of better health.baseline to 6 months

This is a 12 question survey. Survey responses are grouped into two scales: physical score and mental score. The range of scores is 0-100, higher scores indicate perception of better health.

Change in Asthma control will be determined with the Asthma Control Test (ACT)baseline to 6 months

Asthma Control Test (ACT) has 5 questions. The scores range from 5 (poor control of asthma) to 25 (complete control of asthma), with higher scores reflecting greater asthma control. An ACT score \>19 indicates well-controlled asthma.

Change in Geriatric Depression Scale - Short Form (GDS-SF-15)baseline to 6 months

This is a 15-question instrument that has a range from 0-15. Scores of 0-4 are considered normal, depending on age, education, and complaints; 5-8 indicate mild depression; 9-11 indicate moderate depression; and 12-15 indicate severe depression.

Change in Health Care Communication Questionnaire (HCCQ)baseline to 6 months

This is a 6-question questionnaire. Responses are given on a Likert scale from Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree. The range of scores is 1-7, the final score being the mean of all individual responses. Higher scores indicate a perception of better communication with the health care provider.
