Introduction: The use of virtual interventions is of interest to patients with chronic disease and healthcare professionals. This study aimed to determine the effect of virtual child disease management programme on burden and social adjustment of caregivers of children with coagulation factor deficiencies. Moreover, the effect of this intervention on children's acute pain and bleeds was assessed.
Methods: This clinical trial was conducted on 80 caregivers of children with coagulation factor deficiencies. The subjects were randomly assigned into the intervention and control groups. A comprehensive virtual child disease management programme was conducted for 8 weeks and caregiver' burden and their social adjustment were assessed with the HEMOCAB and social adjustment subscale of Bell Adjustment Inventory, respectively. Data were analysed using ANCOVA and Wilcoxon test.
Results: Before the intervention, both groups were similar regarding the caregivers' burden and social adjustment and children's acute pain and bleeds. However, a significant difference was observed between groups in concern to caregivers' burden (P < .001), women's and men's social adjustment (P = .001, P = .03), and children's acute pain and bleeds (P < .001) after the virtual disease management programme.
Conclusion: This study showed that using a virtual child disease management programme reduced burden and improved social adjustment of caregivers of children with coagulation factor deficiencies. This intervention decreased frequencies of acute pain and bleeds in children. Therefore, using this effective intervention in clinical practice is warranted to decrease the caregivers' burden as well as acute pain and bleeds in children.

Minimizing patient burden in outcome monitoring: The case for abbreviated versions of PHQ-9, GAD-7 and WSAS.

Background: The Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) program uses the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), and the Work and Social Adjustment Scale (WSAS) as part of their unique outcome monitoring system. To reduce patient burden, this study explored whether abbreviated versions of these questionnaires can be used to derive relevant outcome statistics with minimal loss of information.
Methods: Using two samples (training; n = 1530, validation; n = 766), we examined whether existing short-forms, PHQ-4 and GAD-R3, would provide enough information to calculate relevant outcomes with near perfect agreement with the outcomes based on the original scales.
