Study Overview
Brief Summary
This is a prospective observational pilot study designed to evaluate feasibility and acceptability as well as preliminary efficacy of a behavioral activation intervention among orthopaedic trauma patients after discharge home following their injury.
Detailed Description
This is a prospective observational pilot study designed to evaluate feasibility and acceptability as well as preliminary efficacy of a behavioral activation intervention among orthopaedic trauma patients after discharge home following their injury. Behavioral activation is a behavioral treatment that focuses on helping participants engage in more rewarding and enjoyable activities. In the first session, participants will begin to identify domains of their life which are important to them. In the second session, participants will be assisted in creating an action plan to engage in more activities in one or more domains of importance. In session 3-8, participants will be assisted in problem solving any challenges they encountered in implementing their previous action plan and will develop a new action plan. The intervention will continue until participants achieved three action plans or reach the eight-session limit, whichever comes first.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Percentage of patients who complete 5 out of 8 possible Behavioral Activation sessions
Time Frame: 6 months
Feasibility will be assessed based on patients who complete 5 out of 8 possible Behavioral Activation Sessions
Percentage of patients who agree to enroll
Time Frame: 6 months
Feasibility will be assessed based on percentage of patients who agree to enroll sessions
Score on Modified Treatment Evaluation Inventory Short Form
Time Frame: 6 months
Acceptability will be measured qualitatively and using the Modified Treatment Evaluation Inventory Short Form
Secondary Outcomes
- Score on PROMIS general health survey (Response range is 0 to 100 where 100 indicates better function)(6 months)
- Score on VAS pain score (Response range is from 0 to 10 where 10 indicates greater pain)(6 months)
