Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Pychoeducational Intervention for Women With Diabetes (NCT NCT01185561)

NCT ID: NCT01185561

Last Updated: 2016-12-14

Results Overview

The CES-D score was compared between those assigned to intervention versus those assigned to usual medical care six months after randomization. The CES-D is a self-report questionnaire assessing frequency and severity of depression symptoms. Scores may range from 0 to 60, where higher scores indicate worse mood.

Participant Flow

Participants were recruited between March 2007 and November 2009

Eighty-four participants consented to participate in the study. Among these individuals, 10 (11.90%) were not randomized and were excluded from continuing their participation in the study because the medical monitor determined they had a significant psychiatric history, had a history of alcohol or drug abuse, or were not depressed.

Psychoeducational Intervention
Participants assigned to this arm represent the experimental group and will receive group therapy for depression treatment based on cognitive behavioral therapy principles developed for women with type 2 diabetes Psychoeducational intervention: The intervention is group therapy for depression treatment based on cognitive behavioral therapy principles developed for women with type 2 diabetes. Specifically, the intervention comprises activities including (1) Education about how dysphoric symptoms (i.e., depressive symptoms, anxiety, and anger) affect glycemic control; (2) Recognition of dysphoric symptoms; and (3) Management of dysphoric symptoms using cognitive-behavioral skills.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 Months

Population: This analysis is restricted to participants who completed the final study visit six months after randomization.

Scores on the The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI Form Y-1) State Anxiety Sub-test are compared between those assigned to intervention versus those assigned to usual medical care six months after randomization. The STAI state anxiety subtest is a 20-item scale measuring state anxiety. Scores may range from 20 to 80 with higher scores indicating greater state anxiety.
