The Effects of Patient Preference on Clinical Outcome, Satisfaction and Adherence Within the Treatment of Anxiety and Depression: A Meta-Analysis. Clin Psychol Psychother 2024; 31:e2985. [PMID: 38706162 DOI: 10.1002/cpp.2985] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2023] [Revised: 03/01/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Taking patient preference into consideration has received increased attention in the last decades. We conducted a meta-analysis to estimate the effects of patient preference on clinical outcome, satisfaction and adherence regarding treatment of depression and anxiety. METHODS Pubmed, Embase, PsycINFO and Scopus were searched for (cluster) randomized controlled trials. Twenty-six randomized controlled clinical trials were included, comprising 3670 participants, examining the effect of patient preference regarding treatment of anxiety and depression on clinical outcome, satisfaction and/or adherence. RESULTS No effect of patient preference was found on clinical outcome [d = 0.06, 95% CI = (-0.03, 0.15), p = 0.16, n = 23 studies]. A small effect of patient preference was found on treatment satisfaction [d = 0.33, 95% CI = (0.08, 0.59), p = 0.01, n = 6 studies] and on treatment adherence [OR = 1.55, 95% CI = (1.28, 1.87), p < 0.001, n = 22 studies]. LIMITATIONS Patient preference is a heterogeneous concept, future studies should strive to equalize operationalization of preference. Subgroup analyses within this study should be interpreted with caution because the amount of studies per analysed subgroup was generally low. Most studies included in this meta-analysis focused on patients with depression. The small number of studies (n = 6) on satisfaction, prevents us from drawing firm conclusions. CONCLUSIONS While this meta-analysis did not find a positive effect of considering patient preference on clinical outcome, it was associated with slightly better treatment satisfaction and adherence. Accommodating preference of patients with anxiety and depression can improve treatment. TRIAL REGISTRATION PROSPERO: CRD42020172556.

Efficacy and moderators of metacognitive training for depression in older adults (MCT-Silver): A randomized controlled trial. J Affect Disord 2024; 345:320-334. [PMID: 37865342 DOI: 10.1016/j.jad.2023.10.118] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2023] [Revised: 09/28/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 10/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Up to 79 % of older adults with depression do not receive treatments commensurate with guideline recommendations. Metacognitive Training-Silver (MCT-Silver) is a low-intensity group training, which aims to reduce depressive symptoms by targeting (meta)cognitive beliefs. METHODS A randomized controlled trial comparing MCT-Silver (n = 41) to cognitive remediation (n = 39) was conducted with older adults with major depressive disorder and/or dysthymia. Clinician-rated depression (Hamilton Depression Rating Scale [HDRS, primary outcome]), self-reported depression (Beck Depression Inventory-II [BDI-II]), negative cognitive beliefs, positive metacognitive beliefs, rumination, health status, quality of life, and neurocognitive functioning were assessed at baseline, eight weeks (post) and three months (follow-up). RESULTS Both groups demonstrated moderate to large reductions in depression. No superior effects of MCT-Silver on clinician-rated depression (HDRS) were detected. MCT-Silver led to greater reductions in self-reported depression and rumination at post- and follow-up. Despite this, scores at post- and follow-up assessments were similar for both groups. MCT-Silver's effect on depressive symptoms was moderated by baseline rumination, positive metacognitive beliefs and previous treatment experience. MCT-Silver was evaluated as superior according to patient appraisals. LIMITATIONS Conclusions are limited by divergent findings on measures of depression and that the study was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. CONCLUSIONS Whereas no superior effect of MCT-Silver was found for the primary outcome, there was a significant effect of MCT-Silver for self-reported depression and rumination. Patients endorsing rumination and positive metacognitive beliefs as well as those without previous psychological treatment may benefit more from MCT-Silver.

Danhauer SC, Miller ME, Divers J, Anderson A, Hargis G, Brenes GA. A Randomized Preference Trial Comparing Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Yoga for the Treatment of Late-Life Worry: Examination of Impact on Depression, Generalized Anxiety, Fatigue, Pain, Social Participation, and Physical Function. Glob Adv Health Med 2022; 11:2164957X221100405. [PMID: 35601466 PMCID: PMC9118438 DOI: 10.1177/2164957x221100405] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2021] [Revised: 03/14/2022] [Accepted: 04/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Depression, generalized anxiety, fatigue, diminished physical function, reduced social participation, and pain are common for many older adults and negatively impact quality of life. The purpose of the overall trial was to compare the effects of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and yoga on late-life worry, anxiety, and sleep; and examine preference and selection effects on these outcomes. Objective The present analyses compared effects of the 2 interventions on additional outcomes (depressive symptoms, generalized anxiety symptoms, fatigue, pain interference/intensity, physical function, social participation); and examined whether there are preference and selection effects for these treatments. Methods A randomized preference trial of CBT and yoga was conducted in adults ≥60 years who scored ≥26 on the Penn State Worry Questionnaire-Abbreviated (PSWQ-A), recruited from outpatient medical clinics, mailings, and advertisements. Cognitive-behavioral therapy consisted of 10 weekly telephone sessions. Yoga consisted of 20 bi-weekly group yoga classes. Participants were randomized to(1): a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of CBT or yoga (n = 250); or (2) a preference trial in which they selected their treatment (CBT or yoga; n = 250). Outcomes were measured at baseline and post-intervention. Results Within the RCT, there were significant between-group differences for both pain interference and intensity. The pain interference score improved more for the CBT group compared with the yoga group [intervention effect of (mean (95% CI) = 2.5 (.5, 4.6), P = .02]. For the pain intensity score, the intervention effect also favored CBT over yoga [.7 (.2, 1.3), P < .01]. Depressive symptoms, generalized anxiety, and fatigue showed clinically meaningful within-group changes in both groups. There were no changes in or difference between physical function or social participation for either group. No preference or selection effects were found. Conclusion Both CBT and yoga may be useful for older adults for improving psychological symptoms and fatigue. Cognitive-behavioral therapy may offer even greater benefit than yoga for decreasing pain.

Koszycki D, Ilton J, Dowell A, Bradwejn J. Does treatment preference affect outcome in a randomized trial of a mindfulness intervention versus cognitive behaviour therapy for social anxiety disorder? Clin Psychol Psychother 2021; 29:652-663. [PMID: 34390076 DOI: 10.1002/cpp.2658] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2021] [Revised: 07/13/2021] [Accepted: 08/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
Research suggests that treatment preference may affect outcome of randomized clinical trials, but few studies have assessed treatment preference in trials comparing different types of psychosocial interventions. This study used secondary data analysis to evaluate the impact of treatment preference in a randomized trial of a mindfulness-based intervention adapted for social anxiety disorder (MBI-SAD) versus cognitive behaviour group therapy (CBGT). Ninety-seven participants who met DSM-5 criteria for SAD were randomized. Prior to randomization, twice as many participants expressed a preference for the MBI-SAD over CBGT. However, being allocated or not to one's preferred treatment had no impact on treatment response. Additionally, with the exception of perception of treatment credibility, treatment matching had no impact on treatment-related variables, including treatment initiation, session attendance, homework compliance, satisfaction with treatment and perception that treatment met expectations. In sum, despite the greater preference for the mindfulness intervention in this sample of participants with SAD, we found little evidence of preference effects on our study outcomes. Findings should be viewed as preliminary and require replication.
