Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The overall purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of an intervention designed to prevent nurse suicide. This randomized controlled trial will test the modified Interactive Screening Program (mISP) alone and the mISP combined with a program called MINDBODYSTRONG.

The mISP is a method of screening to detect clinicians at moderate to high risk for suicide and referring them for treatment through an encrypted anonymous on-line platform. MINDBODYSTRONG© is an adaptation of a well-tested cognitive-behavioral skills building intervention (also known as COPE in the literature) that provides a cognitive-behavior theory-based approach to decrease depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation and improve healthy lifestyle beliefs and behaviors in at-risk populations. MINDBODYSTRONG© will involve eight self-paced computerized sessions designed specifically for nurses and clinicians. Nurses will be recruited nationally through the professional nursing organizations and health systems.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study will be the first to test the combination of the mISP with a new on-line digitalized version of the previously tested manualized version of the CBSB program (i.e., MINDBODYSTRONG©) for nurses. If found to be effective, the combined program will be able to be easily scaled to prevent suicide in nurses and potentially other high-risk populations of clinicians. Although CBT is gold standard evidence-based treatment for depression, only a small percentage of affected individuals receive it due to a shortage of mental health providers, which contributes to high depression relapse rates of 50 to 70%. A scalable digitalized intervention could be one key solution to bringing CBT skills to nurses at risk for suicide who could so benefit from them. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) will determine the effects of the mISP, this adaptation of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's (AFSP) Interactive Screening program (ISP), combined with the on-line version of the MINDBODYSTRONG© program versus the HEAR program alone on depression, suicidal ideation, burnout, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, healthy lifestyle beliefs, healthy lifestyle behaviors, and job satisfaction in U.S. nurses.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

mISP

Participants who are identified as having moderate to high risk of suicide, as identified by suicide risk on the ISP, will be contacted by a mental health counselor who will engage them through the mISP encrypted interface online. The mental health counselor will offer counseling online through encryption or on the phone. Where indicated, the mental health counselor will provide the crisis hotline, and encourage participants to use their insurance provider and/or Employee Assistance Program to obtain treatment. The mental health counselor will offer to help with referrals and will bridge high-risk participants into treatment. Participants who are not identified as having moderate to high risk of suicide will be thanked for their time.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

mISP plus MINDSTRONG

Participants identified as having a moderate to high risk of suicide based on ISP screening will then be randomized. Participants randomized to the MINDBODYSTRONG© program (intervention) will receive the 8-session online interactive program. Reminders will be sent weekly to complete the next MINDBODYSTRONG© session and a MINDBODYSTRONG© trained coach will check in with participants by phone at baseline, weeks 3 and 5 of the on-line program to reinforce key program concepts and assess whether participants are completing the weekly skills building activities. Nurses assigned to the control group will only receive the mISP alone (aforementioned) and will be contacted for follow-up surveys.
