简要总结
The purpose of this research is to examine whether the Chronic Disease Self-management Program (CDSMP) would improve health outcomes and reduce health care use in African American women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The CDSMP is a generic, evidence-based self-management education program that has been shown to help people with chronic conditions to take control of their health problems. This study focuses on African American women with SLE because the CDSMP has not been widely studied in this population.
详细描述
The CDSMP is an evidence-based, community-based, generic self-management program that consists of 6 weekly classes of two and a half hours each one, for six weeks. CDSMP classes are facilitated by certified peer leaders. Because the CDSMP is widely disseminated and available to the adult U.S. population through community centers, it may be a suitable and accessible option for African Americans with SLE, even though it is not specifically tailored to SLE or to African Americans. As the CDSMP has been primarily evaluated in predominantly white middle-class seniors with more common diseases (e.g. osteoarthritis, diabetes), the effectiveness of the CDSMP in helping African American women to self-manage SLE is unknown.
This study will examine the effectiveness of the CDSMP to improve patient-reported outcomes and reduce health care utilization in African American women with lupus. Using a two-group longitudinal cohort design with participants sampled from a parent population-based SLE cohort in Georgia, investigators will examine behaviors, health and healthcare outcomes, and the extent to which individual characteristics modify the effectiveness of the CDSMP.
The Georgians Organized Against Lupus (GOAL), a longitudinal cohort of patients with a validated diagnosis of SLE, will be used to enroll participants into the intervention. A random sample of African American women with SLE selected from the parent GOAL cohort will be recruited into the WELL (Women Empowered to Live with Lupus) cohort. WELL participants will attend the CDSMP classes in the community, along with people with other chronic illnesses. WELL participants will be asked to attend the CDSMP in the community and answer questionnaires at 4 select time periods before and after the program. Investigators will follow participant's progress for up to 18 months after they attend the CDSMP.
African American women from the GOAL cohort non-selected to be assigned to the intervention will comprise the usual care group. Participants will continue their longitudinal assessments as part of the GOAL cohort data collection efforts. Changes in outcomes for up to 18 months will be compared between WELL participants and the usual care group.

结局指标
主要结局
PROMIS Physical Function Score
时间窗: Baseline, Months 6, 12, 18
The Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Physical Function SF 10b is a self-administered instrument that assesses self-reported capability rather than actual performance of physical activities. Participants are asked to respond to questions regarding the extent of their physical function. Responses range from 1 to 5, where 1 represents "unable to do" and 5 represents "without any difficulty". Total raw scores are converted to T-scores by the Health Measures Scoring Service. The T-score rescales the raw score into a standardized score with a mean of 50 and an SD of 10. A higher score indicates better physical function capabilities; scores higher than 50 indicate greater physical function compared to the reference population.
PROMIS Global Health Physical Health Domain Score
时间窗: Baseline, Months 6, 12, and 18
The PROMIS for Global Health short form is a 10-item instrument representing multiple domains such as general health, quality of life, and mental health. Participants will be asked to respond to questions on a scale from 1 to 5, where 1 represents poor health, and 5 represents excellent health. Total raw scores are calculated for two domains: Physical Health and Mental Health. Raw scores are further converted to T-scores by the Health Measures Scoring Service. The T-score rescales the raw score into a standardized score with a mean of 50 and an SD of 10. A higher score indicates better physical health; scores higher than 50 indicate greater physical health compared to the reference population..
PROMIS Sleep Disturbance Score
时间窗: Baseline, Months 6, 12, and 18
The PROMIS Sleep Disturbance SF 8a is a self-administered instrument to assess self-reported perceptions of sleep quality, sleep depth, and restoration associated with sleep. This includes perceived difficulties and concerns with getting to sleep or staying asleep, as well as perceptions of the adequacy of and satisfaction with sleep. It assesses sleep disturbance over the past seven days. Total raw scores are converted to T-scores by the Health Measures Scoring Service. The T-score rescales the raw score into a standardized score with a mean of 50 and an SD of 10. A higher score indicates more sleep disturbance; scores higher than 50 indicate greater sleep disturbance compared to the reference population.
PROMIS Pain Interference Score
时间窗: Baseline, Months 6, 12, and 18
The PROMIS Pain Interference SF 8a is a self-administered instrument that assesses the interference of pain on daily activities. Participants are asked to respond to questions regarding the extent of their pain. Responses range from 1 to 5, where 1 represents "not at all" and 5 represents "very much". Total raw scores are converted to T-scores by the Health Measures Scoring Service. The T-score rescales the raw score into a standardized score with a mean of 50 and an SD of 10. A lower score indicates the least amount of pain interference; scores higher than 50 indicate greater pain interference compared to the reference population.
PROMIS Fatigue Score
时间窗: Baseline, Months 6, 12, and 18
The PROMIS Fatigue SF 8a is a self-administered instrument that assesses fatigue level within the past seven days. Participants are asked to respond to questions regarding fatigue frequency. Responses range from 1 to 5, where 1 represents "never" and five represents "always". Total raw scores are converted to T-scores by the Health Measures Scoring Service. The T-score rescales the raw score into a standardized score with a mean of 50 and an SD of 10; scores higher than 50 indicate greater fatigue compared to the reference population.
PROMIS Ability to Participate in Social Roles and Activities Score
时间窗: Baseline, Months 6, 12, 18
The PROMIS Ability to Participate in Social Roles and Activities SF 8a is a self-administered instrument to assess perceived ability to perform one's usual social roles and activities. Total raw scores are converted to T-scores by the Health Measures Scoring Service. The T-score rescales the raw score into a standardized score with a mean of 50 and an SD of 10. A higher score indicates better perceived abilities; scores higher than 50 indicate better perceived abilities to participate in social activities and roles compared to the reference population.
PROMIS Global Health Mental Health Domain Score
时间窗: Baseline, Months 6, 12, and 18
The PROMIS for Global Health short form is a 10-item instrument representing multiple domains such as general health, quality of life, and mental health. Participants will be asked to respond to questions on a scale from 1 to 5, where 1 represents poor health, and 5 represents excellent health. Total raw scores are calculated for two domains: Physical Health and Mental Health. Raw scores are further converted to T-scores by the Health Measures Scoring Service. The T-score rescales the raw score into a standardized score with a mean of 50 and an SD of 10. A higher score indicates better mental health; scores higher than 50 indicate better mental health compared to the reference population.
PROMIS Anxiety Score
时间窗: Baseline, Months 6, 12, and 18
The PROMIS Anxiety SF 8a is a self-administered instrument to assess emotional distress within the past seven days. Participants are asked to rate their anxiety level for various items ranked from 1 to 5, where 1 represents "never" and 5 represents "always". Total raw scores are converted to T-scores by the Health Measures Scoring Service. The T-score rescales the raw score into a standardized score with a mean of 50 and an SD of 10. A higher score indicates high anxiety; scores higher than 50 indicate greater anxiety compared to the reference population.
Communication With Physician - Stanford 3Q Scale Score
时间窗: Baseline, Months 6, 12, and 18
The Stanford 3Q Scale is a three-question measure that assesses communication between patients and physicians. The participant is asked to rank their responses using a 5-point Likert scale. Total scores range fro 0 to 5 and a higher score indicates better communication with physicians.
Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Self-efficacy for Managing Medications and Treatments Score
时间窗: Baseline, Months 6, 12, and 18
Self-efficacy for managing medical care was assessed with the PROMIS Self-efficacy for Managing Medications and Treatments Short Form (SF) 8a instrument. This is an eight-item tool that quantifies the level of current confidence (from 1=not confident at all to 5=very confident) a person with a chronic condition has in taking and managing medication and other treatments in challenging situations (e.g., traveling, running out of medication, occurrence of side effects). Total raw scores are converted to T-scores by the Health Measures Scoring Service. The T-score rescales the raw score into a standardized score with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation (SD) of 10. A higher score indicates better self-efficacy for managing medications and treatments; scores higher than 50 indicate greater self-efficacy for managing medical care compared to the reference population.
