Brief Summary

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

This Hybrid 1 Study will test the effectiveness of a bundled intervention comprised of behavioral activation and medication optimization in reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety in older adults undergoing Orthopedic surgery (compared with usual care), while examining implementation outcomes.

Blinding Strategy

DOUBLE

Investigators Outcome Assessors
Study staff responsible for administering ratings and collecting outcomes throughout the study are blinded. The investigator(s) are also blinded. This blinding is kept throughout the study until data collection is complete. At the end of the follow-up, the study coordinator will complete a blinding question to try to guess the arm to which each participant was allocated.

Study Groups

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

Behavioral activation and medication optimization

Behavioral activation (BA) will begin perioperatively and will span across 3 months postoperatively, with sessions approximately weekly or biweekly, depending on patient preference \& health condition.

Medications will be reviewed by a team of interventionists to minimize brain-toxic medications and optimize doses of antidepressants and other mental health medications. In-hospital and after discharge, the interventionists' role will include coordinating with the care teams to ensure that medication changes that were introduced preoperatively are maintained.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Behavioral activation

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The behavioral intervention will consist of behavioral activation (BA), the basic premise of which is to help people with mental health problems to engage in activities that are reinforcing or meaningful and guided by their personal values

Medication optimzation

Intervention Type OTHER

Medication optimization consists of a simple set of principles: reconcile patient's medications, identify the patient's likely need for, and interest in, a medication adjustment, make the adjustment, and assess the response to that adjustment.

Control (treatment as usual)

Participants in control arm will continue care as usual. They will receive printed resources for supporting sleep hygiene, stress reduction, cognitive and mental health exercises, as well as community resources for older adults.

Group Type OTHER

Care as usual

Intervention Type OTHER

Care as usual, with written resources provided
