简要总结
This research study refines a wellness program designed for caregivers of autistic children called 5Minutes4Myself and further investigates its feasibility. Participants will attend a workshop to consent, participate in focus groups on lifestyle issues, and complete a baseline survey. Participants will have an individualized consultation with a coach to develop their tailored wellness program and be introduced to an app that support habits to build wellness activities into their daily life. The app provides the participant with their goal profile, tailored reminders, weekly check-ins, and delivers a micro-mindfulness program. Coaches will check-in monthly with participants and work together to modify their program as desired. After 4-6 months, participants will gather for a closing workshop to discuss their lifestyle and to evaluate the program. Pre-/post-surveys will examine health, well-being, stress, depression, and mindfulness. The app usability will be assessed using the Modified Systems Usability Scale (MSUS) as well as usage data.
详细描述
This study is designed to:
- Conduct focus groups with caregivers of autistic children to understand specific stressors that they experience;
- Gather baseline data including surveys of health and well-being;
- Administer an individualized wellness program by using motivational interviews (MI) to individually tailor the program for each participant, train participants to use an app designed to support the adoption of lifestyle changes;
- Coach participants over the 4-6 months of their program; and
- Assess the usability of the app and the impact of the wellness program on caregiver's health and well-being.
Participants will be invited to the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus or participate online where they will:
- complete baseline surveys of physical and mental health, mindfulness, stress, and wellbeing (Center for Epidemiology Depression Scale -Revised; Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire; Perceived Stress Scale; Psychological Well-being Scale; Rand Short Form-36),
- get introduced to the study procedures and research team (Principal Investigator, Researcher, and MI-trained Masters-level occupational therapy and counseling graduate students); and
- participate in focus groups to introduce the 5Minutes4Myself program, offer data on current lifestyles, and receive training on how to use the app
Participants will be assigned coaches. They will work together in an initial lifestyle coaching session and continue meeting monthly for 4-6 months. To assess the fidelity of the coaching sessions, motivation interviewing sessions (initial and monthly) will be audio-- or video--taped to assess fidelity via the Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity tool (MITI). Participants will be asked to complete an assessment of their satisfaction with the coaching. Data will be archived for the ongoing project.

结局指标
主要结局
Five facets of Mindfulness Questionnaire
时间窗: Up to 6 months
Assess degree of mindfulness
SF-36 Questionnaire
时间窗: Up to 6 months
Survey assessing mental and physical health
Perceived Stress Scale

The Perceived Stress Scale is a measure of the degree to which the participant perceives their life as stressful. A series of 10 questions are asked to which the participant answers either: 0 = Never; 1 = Almost Never; 2 = Sometimes; 3 = Fairly Often; 4 = Very Often. The scoring for positively worded questions is calculated by reversing the response (0=4, 1=3, 2=2, 3=1, 4=0). Higher total scores indicate more perceived stress.
Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scale
时间窗: Up to 6 months
Ryff's Psychological Well-Being is a self-reported scale to assess well-being. Participants respond to various statements about autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, positive relations with others, purpose in life, and self-acceptance and indicate how true each statement is of them on a 6-point Likert scale. Higher scores are representative of greater sense of well-being.
Center for Epidemiological Depression Scale-Revised
时间窗: Up to 6 months
The Center for Epidemiological Depression Scale (Revised; CESD-R) is a self-reported assessment where the participant answers 20 questions about how they have felt or behaved over the past 1-2 weeks. It is scored: 0 = Not at All or less than 1 day; 1 = 1-2 days; 2 = 3-4 days; 3 = 5-7 days; 4 = nearly every 5 for 2 weeks. Higher scores indicate greater depressive state.
Modified System Usability Scale
时间窗: Up to 6 months
The Modified System Usability Scale is a 10 item questionnaire where the participants have 5 responses ranging from Strongly Agree to Strongly Disagree. The responses are assigned values such that the total score ranges from 1-100 with higher scores indicating increased usability.
Participant Feedback
时间窗: Up to 6 months
An important outcome measure will be direct participant feedback. Program feedback will be collected via focus group participation.
