About this study

Official title: Enhancing Patient and Organizational Readiness for CVD Risk Reduction Among Persons Living With HIV or AIDS

"Healing our Minds and Bodies" (HHMB) uses a a hybrid type II effectiveness/implementation study design to increase both patient and organizational readiness to address trauma and CVD risk among African American and Latino persons living with HIV or AIDS (PLWHIV).

Read the detailed description

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has emerged as an increasingly important cause of morbidity and mortality among people living with HIV (PLWHIV). Now that HIV is considered a manageable chronic disease, the identification and treatment of comorbid medical conditions including CVD are increasingly the focus of research and clinical attention. What is missing, however, is yet another critical component of care for PLWHIV: integrated care for histories of trauma. Experiences of trauma increase the likelihood of HIV infection as well as CVD risk, yet health care for PLWHIV is rarely coordinated to address these three intersecting issues of HIV, CVD, and trauma, particularly among those disproportionately affected by HIV, i.e., ethnic minority patients. Histories of trauma among PLWHIV are associated with inconsistent treatment adherence and non-adherence, and trauma history alone is associated with poor CVD outcomes. Failure to address trauma poses significant barriers to the adoption of CVD risk strategies among PLWHIV. Health systems that coordinate and integrate care across HIV and chronic conditions such as CVD may provide the infrastructure needed to address the complex interplay of these conditions and their therapies. The investigators have designed a novel blended, culturally-congruent, evidence-informed care model, "Healing our Minds and Bodies" (HHMB), to address patients' trauma histories and barriers to care, and to prepare patients to engage in CVD risk reduction. Recognizing the need to ensure that PLWHIV receive CVD guideline-concordant care, the investigators have also identified implementation strategies to prepare providers and clinics for addressing CVD risk among their HIV-positive patients. Therefore, using a hybrid type II effectiveness/implementation study design, the goal of this study is to increase both patient and organizational readiness to address trauma and CVD risk among PLWHIV. The Specific Aims are: (1) to assess and enhance organizational readiness for addressing trauma and CVD risk among ethnic minority PLWHIV; specifically, a phased approach will drive the use of implementation strategies designed to educate, monitor, and support providers and staff in adhering to CVD care guidelines; (2) using mixed methods, to (a) evaluate the use and effectiveness of implementation strategies over time, and (b) identify barriers and facilitators to organizational adoption of guidelines, provider adherence to guidelines, feasibility, and sustainability; and (3) To evaluate the effect of HHMB on cognitive-behavioral, emotional, and clinical outcomes among 260 African American and Latino PLWHIV. The investigators will use the Replicating Effective Programs (REP) framework to guide the use of implementation strategies and the tailoring of the HHMB intervention within our participating implementation settings, and the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research to guide the evaluation analyses.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Experience of workload

    Maslach Burnout Inventory - 16-item general survey measuring burnout in the workplace. Scale ranges from 0-6,with 0 = "Never" and 6 = "every day."

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Implementation Climate Scale

    This 18-item measure assesses the degree to which there is a strategic organizational climate supportive of evidence-based practice implementation. Implementation climate is defined as employees' shared perceptions of the policies, practices, procedures, and behaviors that are rewarded, supported, and expected in order to facilitate effective EBP implementation. The scale ranges from 0-4, with 0 = "not at all" and 4 = "very great extent."

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Implementation Leadership Scale

    The ILS assesses the degree to which a leader is Proactive, Knowledgeable, Supportive, and Perseverant in implementing evidence-based practice. The score for each subscale is created by computing a mean score for each set of items that load on a given subscale. For example, items 1, 2, and 3 constitute Scale 1. A mean of the scale scores may be computed to yield the mean score for the total ILS.

    Measured: Baseline

  4. Implementation Citizenship Behavior Scale

    This measure assesses the behaviors employees perform that exceed their expected job tasks to support the implementation of evidence-based practices (EBPs). The score for each subscale is created by computing a mean score for each set of items that load on a given subscale. For example, items 1, 2, and 3 constitute Scale 1 (Helping Others). A mean of the scale scores may be computed to yield the mean score for the total ICBS.

    Measured: Baseline

  5. Change from baseline in CVD Risk - Life's Simple Seven

    Seven risk factors that individuals can improve through lifestyle changes to help achieve ideal cardiovascular health

    Measured: Three-month Follow-up

  6. Change from baseline in PROMIS V1.2 - Global Health

    Assessment of generic (not condition-specific) physical, mental, and social health. The adult PROMIS Global Health measure produces two scores: Physical Health and Mental Health.

    Measured: Three-month Follow-up

  7. Change from baseline in Difficulties in Emotional Regulation (DERS)

    Self-report measure of six facets of emotion regulation. Items are rated on a scale of 1 ("almost never [0-10%]") to 5 ("almost always [91-100%]"). Higher scores indicate more difficulty in emotion regulation.

    Measured: Three-month Follow-up

  8. Change from baseline in Woke Scale

    Measure of Critical Racial Consciousness

    Measured: Three-month Follow-up

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Change from baseline in Hill-Bone Adherence Scale

    Medication adherence for medications for hypertension, diabetes, or hyperlipidemia

    Measured: Three-month Follow-up

  2. Change from baseline in HIV Adherence Scale

    Self-reported Rating, Frequency,

    Measured: Three-month Follow-up

  3. Change from baseline in Beck Depression Inventory-II

    Depression screener

    Measured: Three-month Follow-up

  4. Change from baseline in Overall Anxiety Severity and Impairment Scale (OASIS)

    Anxiety screener - 5-item

    Measured: Three-month Follow-up

  5. Change from baseline in Post-traumatic Stress (PDS-5)

    Estimates the severity of a respondent's PTSD symptoms.

    Measured: Three-month Follow-up

  6. Change from baseline in AUDIT-C

    Brief alcohol screen to identify hazardous drinking or active alcohol use disorders

    Measured: Three-month Follow-up

  7. Change from baseline in CAGE-AID

    Brief screen for alcohol and drug problems conjointly

    Measured: Three-month Follow-up

  8. Change from baseline in Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)

    Measure of quality and patter of sleep in adults

    Measured: Three-month Follow-up

  9. Change from baseline in ASCVD Risk Score

    Estimate of 10-year and lifetime risks for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), defined as coronary death or nonfatal myocardial infarction, or fatal or nonfatal stroke. Sensitivity analyses will be conducted including and excluding those on a statin.

    Measured: Three-month Follow-up
