To compare the effectiveness of telephone-delivered interventions on fatigue, physical activity, and quality of life outcomes in adults with multiple sclerosis (MS).
A single-blinded, randomized controlled trial. Participants were randomized to contact-control intervention (CC), physical activity-only intervention (PA-only), and physical activity plus fatigue self-management intervention (FM+). Outcomes were measured at baseline (2wk prerandomization), posttest (14wk postrandomization), and follow-up (26wk postrandomization).
Telephone-delivered in Midwest and Northeast regions of the United States.
Inactive adults with MS (N=208) and moderate-to-severe fatigue.
Three or 6 group teleconferences followed by 4 individually tailored phone calls delivered during 12 weeks. An occupational therapist and research assistant delivered the teleconferences and tailored phone calls, respectively.
Primary outcomes were self-report fatigue and physical activity measured with the Fatigue Impact Scale and Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire, respectively. Secondary outcomes included quality of life measured with the Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale and moderate-to-vigorous exercise and step count measured with an accelerometer.
Linear mixed effects models showed FM+ significantly improved self-reported fatigue (β=-11.08; P=.03) and physical activity (β=0.54; P=.01) compared with CC at posttest. However, FM+ had nonsignificant differences compared with PA-only on self-report fatigue (β=-1.08, P=.84) and physical activity (β=0.09; P=.68) at posttest. PA-only had significant improvements compared with CC on moderate-to-vigorous exercise (β=0.38; P=.02) at posttest and step count at posttest (β=1.30; P<.01) and follow-up (β=1.31; P=.01) measured with an accelerometer. FM+ and PA-only had nonsignificant differences compared with CC on quality of life.
Group teleconferences followed by tailored phone calls have a small yet statistically significant effect in promoting physical activity and reducing fatigue impact in people with MS.
比较电话干预对多发性硬化症(MS)成人疲劳、身体活动和生活质量结局的影响。
单盲、随机对照试验。参与者被随机分配到接触控制干预(CC)、仅身体活动干预(PA-only)和身体活动加疲劳自我管理干预(FM+)。在基线(随机前 2 周)、后测(随机后 14 周)和随访(随机后 26 周)时测量结局。
美国中西部和东北部地区的电话干预。
不活跃的 MS 成人(N=208)和中度至重度疲劳。
3 或 6 次小组电话会议,随后在 12 周内进行 4 次个性化电话随访。一名职业治疗师和研究助理分别提供电话会议和个性化电话。
主要结局指标是使用疲劳影响量表(Fatigue Impact Scale)和 Godin 休闲时间运动问卷(Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire)分别测量的自我报告疲劳和身体活动。次要结局指标包括使用多发性硬化症影响量表(Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale)测量的生活质量以及使用加速度计测量的中度至剧烈运动和步数。
线性混合效应模型显示,与 CC 相比,FM+在干预后显著改善了自我报告的疲劳(β=-11.08;P=.03)和身体活动(β=0.54;P=.01)。然而,FM+在干预后在自我报告的疲劳(β=-1.08,P=.84)和身体活动(β=0.09;P=.68)方面与 PA-only 无显著差异。PA-only 在干预后与 CC 相比,中度至剧烈运动(β=0.38;P=.02)和加速度计测量的步数在干预后(β=1.30;P<.01)和随访(β=1.31;P=.01)方面有显著改善。FM+和 PA-only 在生活质量方面与 CC 无显著差异。
小组电话会议后进行个性化电话随访可在促进 MS 患者身体活动和减轻疲劳影响方面产生小而有统计学意义的效果。
