Trial Outcomes & Findings for Improving Outcomes for Individuals With Serious Mental Illness and Diabetes (NCT NCT01410357)

NCT ID: NCT01410357

Last Updated: 2017-10-04

Results Overview

The BPRS measures psychotic and non-psychotic symptoms in serious mental illness. Possible total scores range from 7 to 126, with higher scores indicating greater symptom severity. For this study, the BPRS with 18 items was used. Each symptom measured ranges from 1-7, and all 18 items/symptoms are summed to create the total score. Only the BPRS total score was utilized in the analyses.

Targeted Training in Illness Management (TTIM)
Participants in this arm received the TTIM intervention as well as regular treatment for their DM (diabetes mellitus) and SMI (serious mental illness) from their normal medical and mental health care providers. Targeted Training in Illness Management (TTIM): This intervention blended psychoeducation, problem identification/goal-setting, behavioral modeling and reinforcement via use of Peer Educators, and health care linkage, and was adapted to the primary care setting and targeted SMI-DM participants. Generalizability was enhanced with relatively brief in-person participation requirements and professional staff typically found in primary care were utilized. TTIM stressed information sharing that is accessible to participants, and through a collaborative process, fostered motivation for SMI-DM self-management.
Treatment As Usual (TAU)
Participants in this arm received Treatment as Usual from their usual medical and mental health care providers. They did not receive any intervention.

The Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) is a self-report of general health divided into a physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS). Norm-based scores are placed on the same metric with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10. Scores above 50 reflect higher functional status than the average population and scores below 50 reflect lower than average function.

The self-reported Tablets Routine Questionnaire (TRQ) measures change in treatment adherence. The TRQ determines proportion of prescribed medication missed, and ranges from 0 (no medication missed/100% adherent) to 100 (no medication taken/0% adherent). The TRQ format captured an exact proportion (%) of days with a missed medication dose for each oral maintenance psychotropic medication and then an average combined TRQ was calculated for all orally-prescribed medications.

The SDSCA measure is a brief self-report questionnaire of diabetes self-management that includes items assessing the following aspects of the diabetes regimen: general diet, specific diet, exercise, blood-glucose testing, foot care, and smoking. It is comprised of 10 questions, to which each have a 5 point scale with anchors 1= never through 5= always. The items are summed to a total score, which ranges from 10-50.

Population: While 74 participants completed the TTIM arm and 76 completed TAU, there was some missing data for this scale, resulting in 69 TTIM and 73 TAU.

The AUDIT scale (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test) has 10 questions, with scores on each question ranging from 0 to 4 (0= never, 1= less than monthly, 2= monthly, 3= weekly 4= daily/almost daily). Questions 9 and 10 only have three anchors: 0, 2, and 4. The scores are summed to get total. Therefore, the range of possible scores are 0-40, with higher scores indicating indicating a greater likelihood of hazardous and harmful drinking. However, such scores may also reflect greater severity of alcohol problems and dependence, as well as a greater need for more intensive treatment.

The ISMI (Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness) has 29 questions, broken into 5 subscales. This subscale, Alienation, has 6 Likert-scale items. Each question is rated as 1= strongly disagree, 2= disagree, 3= neutral, 4= agree, 5= strongly agree. Total scores on the Alienation subscale range from 6-30, with higher scores reflecting higher levels of reported internalized stigma of mental illness.

The ISMI (Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness) has 29 questions, broken into 5 subscales. This subscale, Stereotype Endorsement, has 7 Likert-scale items. Each question is rated as 1= strongly disagree, 2= disagree, 3= agree, 4= strongly agree. Total scores on the Stereotype Endorsement subscale range from 7-28, with higher scores reflecting higher levels of reported internalized stigma of mental illness.

Targeted Training in Illness Management (TTIM)
n=69 Participants
Participants in this arm received the TTIM intervention as well as regular treatment for their DM and SMI from their normal medical and mental health care providers. Targeted Training in Illness Management (TTIM): This intervention blended psychoeducation, problem identification/goal-setting, behavioral modeling and reinforcement via use of Peer Educators, and health care linkage, and was adapted to the primary care setting and targeted SMI-DM participants. Generalizability was enhanced with relatively brief in-person participation requirements and professional staff typically found in primary care were utilized. TTIM stressed information sharing that is accessible to participants, and through a collaborative process, fostered motivation for SMI-DM self-management.
