\u00a0Gitlin et al., 2013<\/td>\nThe multi-faceted home-based BTB (Beat the Blues) intervention was led by social worker. The BTB intervention took place at a senior center and in the homes of participants over 8 months. The treatment group received the BTB treatment, which was tailored specifically to older African Americans. The control “wait-list” group did not receive BTB intervention until month 4.<\/td>\n\u00a0The participants in this study were all African Americans adults aged 55+ with symptoms of depression. n=182 (89 assigned intervention; 93 assigned to control wait-list group)<\/td>\n\u00a0Measures included participant self-reported depression levels at 4 months (initial outcome). At the 4 to 8 month, outcome measures include understanding the course of depression and identifying anxiety, function, and ultimately remission.<\/td>\nAt 4 months, 43.8% (n=39) of the BTB group were in remission in comparison to the control wait-list group (26.9% n=25). Participants in the BTB group also showed reduced depressive symptoms -2.9 (95% CI, -4.6 to -1.2).<\/p>\n

At 8 months, the control group showed similar benefits to the adjusted BTB group. Minimal changes occurred relative to the initial 4 months period.<\/td>\n

 <\/p>\n

Follow up occurred after 4 months for the BTB treatment and after 8 months for the BTB and control group<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Markle-Reid et al., 2014<\/td>\nA preliminary one group, pre- test\/post-test \u00a0nurse-led multi faceted intervention with a duration of 6 months. The RN was charged to detect manage, and reduce the severity of depression symptoms. All participants were offered monthly visits for six months in coordination with usual home care.<\/td>\nThe participants in this study were adults aged 70+ receiving long-stay home heath care and newly referred to the Community Care Access Centre. (n=142; 98 completed 6 month intervention; 87 completed 12 month intervention)<\/td>\n\u00a0The measure of outcome for this study was the change in the expression of depressive symptoms from baseline to six month, measured by the CES-D (Centre for Epidemiological Studies in Depression). The CES-D is a 20 item scale, scores ranging from 1-60.<\/td>\n\u00a0The baseline CES-D score was 17.7; statistical significance was found in the decrease of CES-D scores post intervention (-3.22, CI -5.35 to -1.08, p=).008) at the 1 year follow up.<\/td>\n\u00a012 months<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00a0Bruce et al., 2015<\/td>\n\u00a0The Depression CAREPATH intervention was designated to 6 home health care agencies with patients aged 65+ who tested positive for depression. Participants were interviewed at home and via phone. The nurses<\/strong><\/em> were randomly assigned to an intervention (Depression CAREPATH) or to enhanced usual care (control) .<\/td>\nThe nurses selected were associated with 1 of the 6 home health care agencies, an n=178 (100 assigned to intervention; 78 assigned to control group) n=306 (number of clients whom consented to participate in the study)<\/td>\nThe severity of depressive symptoms were the main outcomes of this study. It was measured by using all assessments in the Hamilton Scale for Depression (HAM-D).A score of 10 more high was identified as significant depression.<\/td>\nOverall, the intervention had no effect (P=.13 for intervention x time interaction) The HAM-D scores for intervention and control did not differ at 3 or 6 months (10.5 vs 11.4, p=.26 & 9.3 vs 10.5, P=.12) but did reach significance at 12 months (8.7 vs 10.6, P=.05). For participants with a HAM-D score of 10 or more, the intervention proved effective (P=0.02) with lower scores at all months of the trial (14.1 vs 16.1, P=.04; 12.0 vs 14.7, P=.02; 11.8 vs 15.7, P=.005, respectively)<\/td>\nFollow up occurred after 3, 6, and 12 months<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The Community Preventive Services Task Force currently recommends<\/em> <\/strong>home-based depression care management for older adults. Their recommendation is based off of a systematic review that was conducted in February 2008 based on 3 studies. All of the studies reviewed by the Community Preventative Services Task Force has a response rate range from 27-43% and a 36% remission rate and due to the randomized nature of the interventions, they can all be applied to the general public with reference to communities, home health care, and gender\/race and ethnicity. (Community Preventative Task Force, 2008)<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Justify your recommendation. Identify whether there were any changes to the recommendations. For example, did you change one of the recommendations from \u201cinsufficient evidence\u201d to \u201crecommended\u201d? Explain why or why not based on the evidence. (12 points)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Based on the 3 articles that I reviewed since the Task Force’s recommendation in 2008, I would also\u00a0recommend<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0home-based depression care management for older adults.<\/p>\n

    The decision to recommend the home-based depression care management intervention is due to the consistency of the results found in the studies I reviewed in comparison to the systematic review conducted by the Task Force. In the Gitlin et al., (2013) study, 43.8% of the participants who received the BTB intervention were in remission, which falls slightly above the range identified in the systematic review done by the Task Force. Although the increase in remission is slight, it is still significant in supporting the recommendation for home-based depression care management interventions. This study also focused on African-Americans, given validity to the ability for the intervention to be applied to specific ethic\/racial groups.<\/p>\n

    The study published by Bruce et al., (2015) focused on the effectiveness of a CAREPATH depression care management in Medicare Home Health. The interesting consideration in this study was the focus on the randomization of the nursing staff, assigning them to the intervention or\u00a0to the control group.\u00a0Although a statistical significance was not found until after 12 months of intervention, the necessity of the program is still in line with all the other studies I reviewed for this intervention, being that the majority of them were over at least a 12 month period. Similar in statistical measures was the Markle-Reid et al., (2013) study which was not a randomized trial, however a pre\/post test delivered intervention in a home health care agency; their was a significant decrease in CES-D scores post intervention.<\/p>\n

    None of the previously mentioned studies caused me to increase the recommendation because the findings were directly in line with the findings in the systematic review.\u00a0The studies aforementioned continues to provide sufficient evidence for home-based depression care management.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Part II. Theoretical Framework\/Model <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

    The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) identify the relationship amongst behavior, beliefs, attitudes, and intentions, with the assumption that behavioral intentions are the most pivotal in determining behavior (NIH, 2005). TPB is ideal for home-based depression care management because it’s main focus is behavioral intentions. The model focuses on behavioral intention, attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control-which serve as the key factors in overall behavioral change. In the NIH text (2005) behavioral intention determines behavior while attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control influence behavioral intention. This theory allows us to see the intention of older adults to address depressive symptoms despite the thoughts of the ones around them. The individual constructs for the TPB in relation to home-based depression care are identified below.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Constructs<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    Behavioral Intentions:\u00a0This is considered the most important factor in the TPB theory in relation to behavioral change (NIH, 2005). It is identified as the perceived likelihood of performing behavior. In relation to home-based depression care management, the behavioral intention is\u00a0adherence to depression-care management and the intention to adhere to program regulations will influence the behaviors following the intervention.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Attitude:\u00a0This construct identifies the evaluation of the changed behavior at a personal level (NIH, 2005). The attitude is measured by the participant\u2019s opinion on whether the behavior is good, neutral or bad (NIH, 2005). With regards to depression care management, the person’s attitude toward receiving the intervention is directly related to their intention to adhere to the program. For example, a person may view the decrease in depression episodes as good because they can become more social or on the contrary, it can be viewed as bad because people outside of themselves now know that they have a mental condition.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Subjective Norm:\u00a0This construct refers to the beliefs about key persons opinions, approval or disapproval of the behavior change; this could also serve as a motivation for intervention participants to behave in a manner that is approved by said persons (NIH, 2005). For this particular intervention, participants may be concerned with the thoughts of those they are close to and the stigma associated with admittance of mental illness and having lack of support due to their age. Additionally, because the prevalence of depression in older adults is high and often goes unnoticed, it could also cause older adults to not want to admit they are battling depression due to the negative societal views surrounding it (Gitlen et al., 2013).<\/span><\/p>\n

    Perceived\u00a0Behavioral Control: \u00a0This construct refers to the belief that one can exercise, control over performing the behavior (NIH, 2005). The approach this construct takes is identifying if the person involved in the intervention believes that the behavioral outcome is under their control (NIH, 2005). The participants in the home-based depression care management intervention were given the option to participate in the intervention, as identified by the aforementioned evidence listed in Table 1. Therefore, the control of participation was left solely upon the participants.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Draw a diagram to illustrate your conceptual model, making sure to include an indication of the hypothesized direction of the relation (positive or inverse) between the constructs. You may use plus or minus signs, up and down arrows, or another method as long as it is clear. Do not create a logic model. (16 points)\n

      Part III. Logic Model, Causal and Intervention Hypotheses, and Intervention Strategies <\/u><\/p>\n

      The target population for the home-based depression care management intervention are older adults aged 65 and older who have tested positive for depressive symptoms, receive home health care, and come from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds (Markle-Reid,2014) . \u00a0One of the studies specifically used older African American adults as a target population, to address the health disparities associated with receiving mental health care in the African American community (Gitlin et al., 2013)<\/p>\n

      The program setting took place in the respective homes \u00a0of the participants which involved\u00a0weekly in-person and over the phone symptom care management, medication management, care coordination, and goal setting (Bruce et al., 2015).<\/p>\n

      Using older adults as a target population directly coincides with the fact the majority of them are not able to access quality health care as a result of socioeconomic status and the increased likelihood of disabilities that affect mobility in comparison to their younger adult counterpart (Braveman et al., 2011). \u00a0Although depression is a widely known mental health problem for older adults, the symptoms are still widely unrecognized and undetected\u00a0in older adults (Gitlin et al., 2013).<\/p>\n

      \u00a0Improve behavioral intention and attitude to adhere to intervention programming\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/td>\nThe TPB construct\u00a0of\u00a0behavioral intention <\/em>is\u00a0<\/em>the most important construct of TPB. Behavioral intention explores the likelihood that the participant will adhere to the the program as well as have a positive attitude about it. \u00a0An increase in behavioral intention would include educating the client on depression care management and stress reduction techniques as well as referrals and linkage to resources that could further aid in participant’s intention to participate in the program.\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\nProvide pamphlets on the signs of depression\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Allowing the participant to have full control over their plan of action is pivotal in the intervention because it directly affects the intention to adhere to the depression care management program.<\/td>\n\u00a0Creating short term goals with participant in sessions with clinical staff\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Care management will lead to improvements in behavioral intention by ensuring that all priority care needs are being met first which would allow the participant to shift their \u00a0focus to the intervention program.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Referral and linkage will increase positive attitudes and positive subjective norms surrounding depression care management by connecting participant’s to organizations that can help them with physical and mental health care.<\/p>\n

      Depression Education will help increase the ability for participant’s to identify symptoms of depression and how to manage a depression episode . Stress Reduction techniques will increase behavioral intention<\/span>\u00a0and decrease depression episodes by finding positive ways to handle stressful situations. It would also increase there confidence in contradiction to subjective norms that may make them feel like management of a mental illness is not okay.<\/p>\n

      Behavioral activation\u00a0will help increase perceived behavioral control in participant’s as well as improve their ability to create a plan of action for themselves after the intervention period.<\/p>\n

      Causal hypothesis\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

      Attitude improvements surrounding depression care management, a decrease in negative subjective norms, and an increase in perceived behavioral control will aid in decreasing HAM-D scores and increase the likelihood of remission of depressive symptoms. An improvement of the environment in which participant’s are in will also decrease the scores on HAM-D test and help keep depression triggers at bay.<\/p>\n

      1. Provide the outcome evaluation design(s) name and the scientific notation (Xs and Os). Name the major threats to internal validity for your evaluation, briefly describe why they are a threat, and discuss how your study design or other methods (e.g., incentives) will attenuate these threats. (20 points)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Evaluation Design: Cluster Randomized Effectiveness Trial<\/p>\n

        This study used a multiple treatment randomized experimental design that implemented a pretest-posttest for all groups and one intervention group.<\/p>\n

        R O1 X O2 O3 O4 (Intervention Group)<\/p>\n

        R O1 X O2 O3 O4 (Control Group)<\/p>\n

        [O1=pre test, O2- post-test after 3 months, 03= post-test after 6 months, O4=post-test after 12 months]<\/p>\n

        Group randomization will be conducted by randomizing nurse care teams to participants who have depression symptoms indicated by HAM-D scales. Individual treatment groups will receive the following interventions:<\/p>\n

        Intervention Group: Home-Based Depression Care Management CAREPATH treatment<\/p>\n

        Control Group: Enhanced\u00a0usual care<\/p>\n

        Pre-Test for HAM-D scores will be administered on the first day of the intervention to both groups. The Post-Test will be administered at 3, 6, and 12 months post intervention. The control group will complete the post-tests at the same time as the intervention group. The test assesses: adjusted HAM-D and self-reports. It will also assess a change in attitude towards depression care management, perceived behavioral control, and behavioral activation.<\/p>\n

        Threats to Validity <\/strong><\/p>\n

        Randomization with the use of a control group should provide similar threats to validity such that threats would be significantly diminished in this evaluation. Having a marker such as the pre-test allows us to be able to compare preliminary information to the results post intervention. However, even in light of limited threats to the study, possible threats to internal validity would include mortality and attrition and testing.<\/p>\n

        Mortality\/Attrition\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

        This is an inevitable threat to any study designs that implores more than one group. If more older adults drop out than stay in, changes would not be associated with the intervention more so than the individuals who dropped out. Additionally, due to older age, mortality is a major concern. For adults who pass away before all of the post-test follow ups, it could have a negative impact on the results of the study.<\/p>\n

        Testing\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

        When using a pre and post test design, we run the risk of creating a bias with participants in the intervention. Because a pre-test is presented to them, they may be more likely to rank their answers in a different manner due to their knowledge of the nature of the study therefore decreasing the validity of the ranking measures.<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        14. \u00a0 \u00a0 You are putting together a survey to answer these outcome evaluation questions. Use the table to describe the variables you will measure and how. Be sure to include information on the validity and reliability of the instruments. You may see reliability reported as test-retest reliability or internal consistency (AKA: Cronbach\u2019s alpha). Validity may be reported as face or content validity or construct validity (e.g., factor loadings). (20 points)<\/p>\n

It identifies what attitudes people can control versus what they feel they can’t and how it affects the behaviors they exhibit.\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n“When I don’t do as well as I had hoped to, I often get upset with myself.”<\/span><\/p>\n

        “I get angry with myself if my efforts don’t lead to the results I wanted.” \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        “I set higher goals for myself than other people do.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        “Compared to other people, I expect a lot from myself”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        “When it comes to setting standards for my behavior, I aim higher than most people.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

         <\/td>\n

        		ATS correlates with attitude and perceived control by asking questions that would provoke the participant to recognize a change in attitude and perceived control or realize that they have experienced no change at all.\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The questionnaire is in Likert scale format\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n“Most people who are important to me would support me receiving depression care management”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        “I intend to receive treatment for depression”<\/span><\/td>\n

        		The validity and reliability of this questionnaire is questionable because it is not one that is solidified across the board. Furthermore, the details of the questionnaire can be left up to the discretion of the researcher so their is no guaranteed consistency.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
