Official title

Preventing Depression and Anxiety: A Randomized Controlled Trial of a CF-Specific CBT Intervention

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

Individuals with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) are at high risk for depression and anxiety, with negative consequences for quality of life, ability to carry out daily CF treatments, and health. CF Foundation and European CF Society guidelines recommend routine screening, treatment, and preventative efforts for depression and anxiety. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) interventions focused on teaching coping skills have a large evidence-base for prevention and treatment of depression and anxiety, but there are barriers to accessing these interventions for individuals with CF. Drs. Friedman and Georgiopoulos at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have developed a CF-specific CBT-based preventive intervention for depression and anxiety with input from adults with CF and CF healthcare team members, called CF-CBT: A cognitive-behavioral skills-based program to promote emotional well-being for adults with CF, along with a training and supervision program for CF team interventionists. CF-CBT consists of 8 45-minute modules that can be flexibly delivered in the outpatient CF clinic, on the inpatient unit, or by telephone, by multidisciplinary members of the CF care team, minimizing additional cost and burden of care to patients. The goal of this study is to test CF-CBT in 60 adults screening in the mild range on measures of depression and anxiety at 4 CF centers, in a prospective randomized clinical trial comparing the intervention to usual treatment. Participants will be randomized to receive the CF-CBT intervention immediately, or to a 3-month waitlist control followed by intervention. The study will measure depression, anxiety, quality of life, stress, and coping self-efficacy before and after the CF-CBT intervention, and also 3 and 6 months post-intervention.
