About this study
Official title: B-MORE for Hypertension
This pilot study is a single-arm clinical feasibility trial evaluating the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a brief adaptation of Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (B-MORE) for reducing stress and high blood pressure in hypertensive English- and Spanish-speaking patients (n=20). The intervention, a 2-hour online training in stress management and hypertension, will be delivered virtually in a small-group format over two 60-minute sessions.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Behavioral: B-MORE (Brief Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement)Behavioural
B-MORE is a validated, two-hour adaptation of the evidence-based MORE program. It retains each of the three, core therapeutic elements of the traditional MORE program (mindfulness, reappraisal, savoring) and is organized for delivery in two, 1-hour sessions.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| B-MORE (Brief Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement) | Experimental | Participants will receive a remotely-delivered mindfulness-based intervention (B-MORE) consisting of two 60-minute small group sessions conducted over two weeks. The intervention includes mindfulness training, cognitive reappraisal, and positive emotion regulation techniques. Receives: Behavioral: Behavioral: B-MORE (Brief Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement) |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Feasibility of the B-MORE intervention for Stress
The feasibility of the B-MORE intervention for managing stress in hypertensive patients will be assessed using recruitment metrics. Specifically, feasibility will be based on the recruitment rate, defined as the number of participants recruited and enrolled per week. Feasibility will also be based on session attendance metrics, defined as the percentage of participants who complete the first B-MORE session and the second B-MORE session. Finally, feasibility will be based on retention rates, defined as the percentage of participants completing all treatment sessions and study surveys.
Measured: The expected time frame is from baseline to study completion, an average of 10 weeks.
Feasibility of the B-MORE intervention for Blood Pressure
The feasibility of the B-MORE intervention for managing blood pressure in hypertensive patients will be assessed using recruitment metrics. Specifically, feasibility will be based on the recruitment rate, defined as the number of participants recruited and enrolled per week. Feasibility will also be based on session attendance metrics, defined as the percentage of participants who complete the first B-MORE session and the second B-MORE session. Finally, feasibility will be based on retention rates, defined as the percentage of participants completing all treatment sessions and study surveys.
Measured: The expected time frame is from baseline to study completion, an average of 10 weeks.
Secondary outcomes (4)
Treatment Acceptability for the B-MORE intervention for Stress
The acceptability of the B-MORE intervention for managing stress in hypertensive patients will be based on participant self-report at the completion of the B-MORE program and at the 2- and 6-week follow-up assessments. More specifically, a 4-item Treatment Acceptability and Preferences questionnaire rated on a 5-point Likert Scale ("Not at all" to "Very Much") will be used for treatment acceptability. The scores from these 4 items will be summed and averaged to calculate an average score between 1 and 5, with a higher average scores indicating greater treatment acceptability.
Measured: Measured through participant self-report at the completion of the B-MORE program (immediately post-intervention and at 2-week and 6-week follow-up assessments).
Treatment Acceptability for the B-MORE intervention for Blood Pressure
The acceptability of the B-MORE intervention for managing blood pressure in hypertensive patients will be based on participant self-report at the completion of the B-MORE program and at the 2- and 6-week follow-up assessments. More specifically, a 4-item Treatment Acceptability and Preferences questionnaire rated on a 5-point Likert Scale ("Not at all" to "Very Much") will be used for treatment acceptability. The scores from these 4 items will be summed and averaged to calculate an average score between 1 and 5, with a higher average scores indicating greater treatment acceptability.
Measured: Measured through participant self-report at the completion of the B-MORE program (immediately post-intervention and at 2-week and 6-week follow-up assessments).
Treatment Expectancy for the B-MORE Intervention
Treatment expectancy for the B-MORE intervention will be based on participant self-report at the completion of the B-MORE program and at the 2- and 6-week follow-up assessments. More specifically, a 4-item Credibility/Expectancy Questionnaire rated on a sliding scale from "Not at all" to "Very Much" will be used for treatment expectancy and credibility, with higher ratings indicating greater treatment expectancy.
Measured: Measured through participant self-report at the completion of the B-MORE program (immediately post-intervention).
Treatment Satisfaction with the B-MORE Intervention
Treatment satisfaction with the B-MORE intervention will be based on participant self-report at the completion of the B-MORE program and at the 2- and 6-week follow-up assessments. More specifically, a 3-item questionnaire with qualitative questions on the patient experience (e.g., "Was the program accessible? If not, what barriers did you encounter?" and "What were the best or most useful elements of the program?") will be used for treatment satisfaction.
Measured: Measured through participant self-report at the completion of the B-MORE program (immediately post-intervention and at the 2- and 6-week follow up points).
