简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about how a digital training platform can enhance implementation and effectiveness of a validated mHealth system, called FOCUS, in people with serious mental illness. The main question this research aims to answer is whether patients obtain similar outcomes to previous FOCUS studies when using FOCUS with clinicians trained on a newly developed digital training platform.
Participants will be asked to use the FOCUS smartphone application and receive mobile health coaching from clinicians who have been trained using the digital training platform.
详细描述
Widely available technologies can help overcome the capacity constraints of brick-and mortar community mental health centers (CMHCs), expand the reach of evidence-based mental healthcare, and provide much needed illness management skills and resources for people with serious mental illness (SMI). With funding from the NIMH, PCORI, and CMMI, the investigators developed and tested FOCUS--a multi-modal smartphone illness self-management system that is shown to be feasible, usable, highly engaging, and effective among people with SMI.
The current project facilitates translation of FOCUS into routine care at CMHCs using implementation strategies of practice facilitation, implementation resource teams, and the development of accessible training materials. The investigators are proposing a technology-assisted training and implementation model designed to address system needs that have emerged since the COVID-19 pandemic and enhance sustainability of FOCUS at CMHCs. The new tools and strategies used in the project will facilitate improved training and implementation in new treatment settings, reaching a far larger number of patients who otherwise would not receive FOCUS and improving the sustainability of this tool, even in high turnover settings.
This trial is a prospective multi-site site single arm implementation study in three community mental health centers located in New Hampshire and Missouri. The investigators will develop and evaluate a digital training platform to aid in the implementation of FOCUS and utilize the platform to improve the availability, reach, impact, and sustainability of the FOCUS intervention in CMHCs. Patient participants will utilize FOCUS for a 12-week period at CMHCs where clinicians have been trained using the digital training platform. Investigators will compare patient outcomes to results of previous trials where clinicians were trained using more traditional, in-person training and support methods.

研究组 & 干预措施
FOCUS participants
FOCUS is a smartphone application system designed to improve illness self-management and facilitate recovery in individuals with serious mental illness. It delivers both system initiated (i.e. pre-programmed) and patient initiated (i.e. on demand) real-time assessment to individuals in their own environment.
干预措施: FOCUS participants (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Change in auditory verbal hallucinations
时间窗: Baseline, 3-months
Change in the auditory verbal hallucinations will be measured by the Hamilton Program for Schizophrenia Voices (HPSVQ). This 13-item questionnaire is used to assess auditory verbal hallucinations with a maximum score of 36 and a minimum score of 0. Higher scores on this scale indicate worse functioning.
Change in perceived quality of life
时间窗: Baseline, 3-months
Quality of Life will be assessed using a 6-item Quality of Life scale of general wellbeing, interpersonal relations, participation in activities, and role functioning. Patients respond on a 7-point scale with a maximum score of 42 and a minimum score of 6. A higher score on this scale indicated a higher quality of life.
Patient Engagement with FOCUS
时间窗: 3-months
Patient engagement will be the number of weeks FOCUS was used, during the 12-week intervention period. Data for FOCUS usage will be captured automatically on FOCUS software.
Change in depressive symptoms
时间窗: Baseline, 3-months
Change in the depressive symptoms will be measured by the Beck Depression Inventory-2 (BDI-2). This 21-item questionnaire is used to assess depressive symptoms with a maximum score of 63 and a minimum score of 0. Higher scores on this scale indicates worse functioning.
Change in recovery oriented thinking
时间窗: Baseline, 3-months
Recovery of patient will be measured using the Recovery Assessment Scale (RAS). RAS has 24-items that assess 5 factors related to recovery including Hope, Goal Directedness, and Domination by Symptoms. The maximum score on this scale is 120 and the minimum score is 24. A higher score on this scale indicated improved functioning.
Change in psychiatric functioning
时间窗: Baseline, 3-months
Change in the psychiatric functioning will be measured by the Symptom Checklist-9 (SCL-9). This nine-item questionnaire is used to assess psychiatric functioning with a maximum score of 36 and a minimum score of 0. Higher scores on this scale indicates worse functioning.
Patient Satisfaction with FOCUS
时间窗: 3-months
Patient satisfaction related to their use of the FOCUS system will will be assessed by a 5-item questionnaire on a 7-point scale asking about..... The maximum score on this scale is and the minimum is 35 and the minimum score on this scale is 5. A higher score on this scale indicates higher satisfaction with the FOCUS system.
