Objective: In this randomized controlled trial, we evaluated the effectiveness of a telephone-delivered intervention based on the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) after discharge from inpatient rehabilitation to address behavior change, emotional status, and glycemic control in patients with Type 2 diabetes.
Design: In a German rehabilitation center, 249 patients with Type 2 diabetes were separated into randomized groups, either a 12-month telephone follow-up support group or the usual care group. The counselor identified personal target areas and intervention modules and developed with the patient an individualized action plan for the telephone support. To enhance motivational processes, they used motivational interviewing techniques. Counselors called patients monthly to support the implementation of the personal plans into the patients' daily routines and to screen for emotional problems. Assessments measured exercise, diet, medication adherence, psychological variables, body mass index, HbA1c, and cardiovascular risk.
Results: Twelve months after inpatient rehabilitation, the telephone group's rate of physical activity rose by 26% compared with the usual care group's 10%. Patients in the intervention group exhibited greater improvements in terms of their illness burden, psychological well-being, and depression. HbA1c fell in the telephone group but increased in the usual care group (-0.68% vs. 0.12%). The intervention group's cardiovascular risk fell, whereas the usual care group's rose (-0.57 vs. 0.23).
Conclusion: A theory-based telephone-delivered follow-up intervention utilizing motivational interviewing techniques and focusing on personalized action planning demonstrated improvements in patients' level of activity and health status 12-months postrehabilitation discharge and may be a beneficial supplement to rehabilitation programs.

Background: Unhealthy substance use (USU) is common and ranges from use above guideline-recommended levels to severe substance use disorder. USU results in substantial morbidity and mortality yet primary care practices rarely systematically screen, diagnose, and treat USU. Supporting Unhealthy Substance use care Through a whole person Approach and user centered INtegration into primary care (SUSTAIN) tests whether the implementation of a co-designed change package for USU improves patient function.

Background: Postpartum depression remains a significant concern, posing substantial challenges to maternal well-being, infant health, and the mother-infant bond, particularly in the face of barriers to traditional support and interventions. Previous studies have shown that mobile health (mHealth) interventions offer an accessible means to facilitate early detection and management of mental health issues while at the same time promoting preventive care.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Leveraging on Virtual Engagement for Maternal Understanding & Mood-enhancement (LoVE4MUM) mobile app, which was developed based on the principles of cognitive behavioral therapy and psychoeducation and serves as an intervention to prevent postpartum depression.

Background: In skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), i-STRONGER is a novel, high-intensity resistance training approach that incorporates progressive resistance training to promote greater improvements in patient function compared to usual care. To inform large-scale expansion of i-STRONGER as standard-of-care in SNFs, this mixed-methods study assessed rehabilitation providers' perceptions of i-STRONGER and purported needs for its adoption.
Methods: Forty-three rehabilitation providers participated in an 18-week, interactive i-STRONGER training program.
Differences in the effectiveness of individual-level smoking cessation interventions by socioeconomic status.
Cochrane Database Syst Rev
January 2025
Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK.
Background: People from lower socioeconomic groups are more likely to smoke and less likely to succeed in achieving abstinence, making tobacco smoking a leading driver of health inequalities. Contextual factors affecting subpopulations may moderate the efficacy of individual-level smoking cessation interventions. It is not known whether any intervention performs differently across socioeconomically-diverse populations and contexts.
