A multicentre randomised controlled trial of a guided self-help cognitive behavioural therapy to MANage the impact of hot flushes and night sweats in patients with prostate CANcer undergoing androgen deprivation therapy (MANCAN2)

Background: androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is prescribed to almost half of all men diagnosed with prostate cancer. Although ADT is effective treatment, with virtually all men with advanced disease showing initial clinical response, it is associated with troublesome side effects including hot flushes and night sweats (HFNS). HFNS can be both frequent and severe and can have a significant impact on quality of life (QoL). They can occasionally be so debilitating that patients stop ADT altogether, despite the increased risk of disease relapse or death. Previous research has found that guided self-help cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) can be effective in reducing HFNS due to ADT when delivered by a clinical psychologist. MANCAN2 aims test whether we can train the existing NHS Prostate Cancer Nurse Specialist (CNS) team to deliver guided self-help CBT and whether it is effective in reducing the impact of HFNS in men undergoing ADT.Methods: MANCAN2 is a phase III multicentre randomised controlled trial and process evaluation. Between 144 and 196 men with prostate cancer who are currently receiving ADT and are experiencing problematic HFNS will be individually randomised in a 1:1 ratio in groups of 6-8 participants to either treatment as usual (TAU) or participation in the guided self-help CBT intervention plus TAU. A process evaluation using the normalisation process theory (NPT) framework will be conducted, to understand the CNS team's experiences of delivering the intervention and to establish the key influencers to its implementation as a routine practice service. Fidelity of implementation of the intervention will be conducted by expert assessment. The cost-effectiveness of the intervention and participant adherence to the trial intervention will also be assessed.Discussion: MANCAN2 will advance the program of work already conducted in development of management strategies for HFNS. This research will determine whether the severity of ADT-induced HFNS in men with prostate cancer can be reduced by a guided self-help CBT intervention, delivered by the existing NHS prostate cancer CNS team, within a multicentre study. The emphasis on this existing team, if successful, should facilitate translation through to implementation in routine practice.Trial registration: ISRCTN reference 58720120 .

MANCAN2: a multicentre randomised controlled trial of self-help cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to manage hot flush and night sweats (HFNS) symptoms in patients with prostate cancer receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT)

Background: up to 80% of patients receiving ADT suffer HFNS which impacts quality of life (QOL) and potentially ADT compliance. Mitigation options are limited. Prior research has found self-help CBT, with minimal guidance, reduced HFNS due to ADT at 6 weeks. We tested the longer term impact of self-help CBT, guided and delivered by prostate Cancer Nurse Specialist (CNS) teams. Methods: MANCAN2 is a multicentre randomised controlled trial and process evaluation within UK prostate cancer units. Eligibility: localised/advanced prostate cancer; on ADT with ≥ 6 months further planned; HFNS Problem Rating Scale ≥ 2. Patients were randomised (1:1) in groups of 6 to 8 to treatment as usual (TAU) or CBT + TAU, by permuted block, stratified by site, cohort and treatment intent. CBT was a 4-week self-help intervention (booklet and relaxation audio) with pre- and post-intervention group workshops by the prostate CNS team. Primary objective: does adding CBT to TAU reduce 6 month HFNS Problem Rating Scale versus baseline (mixed linear regression). Secondary endpoints: 6 week HFNS Problem Rating Scale, HFNS frequency, HFNS beliefs and behaviours, QOL (EORTC QLQ-C30, symptoms (rating scales for anxiety, depression, mood and sleep) by mixed logistic regression), ADT compliance (chi-squared test). A 6 month mean HFNS Problem Rating Scale difference of ≥ 1.5 points was deemed clinically relevant, and required data from 111 patients (90% power, 5% type 1 error, 6 to 8 patients per group, intra-class correlation 0.01, anticipating 26% patient loss). Results: 162 patients were randomly assigned (81/arm) and 117 returned 6 month HFNS Problem Rating Scale data. Baseline characteristics were balanced. Mean CBT delivery adherence was 85%. 6 month mean HFNS Problem Rating Scale score was not significantly different for the TAU alone versus CBT + TAU (mean 4.08 vs 4.04, 95% CI for difference: -0.89, 0.80; p=0.97), although a difference was observed at 6 weeks (mean 4.47 vs 3.79, 95% CI: -1.26, -0.09; p=0.03). At 6 weeks, CBT patients had higher weekly HFNS frequency (median 54.2 vs 59.4, 95% CI: 0.22, 10.19; p=0.04), lower depression score (median 7.19 vs 6.19, 95% CI: -1.88, -0.12; p=0.03) and lower anxiety score (median 4.25 vs 3.39, 95% CI: -1.64, -0.08; p=0.03). CBT patients had more positive beliefs about openness and humour scores at 6 months (median 4.92 vs 4.59, 95% CI: -0.63, -0.03; p=0.03). There was no significant difference for other measures of HFNS beliefs and behaviours, quality of life, anxiety, mood, sleep quality and treatment compliance. Conclusions: adding CBT to TAU in prostate cancer patients receiving ADT improved short-term HFNS severity but was not maintained at 6 months. Future research should investigate whether initial CBT benefit could be made sustainable in this setting. Clinical trial information: 58720120

Do single-family rooms increase parental presence, involvement, and maternal well-being in neonatal intensive care?

Objectives of this study were to determine whether single-family room (SFR) design enhances parental presence, involvement, and maternal well-being during neonatal intensive care hospitalization. An observational cohort including mothers of infants was randomly assigned to receive care in a tertiary-level open-bay (OB) (n = 35) or SFR (n = 36). Mothers were asked to complete daily diaries documenting parental presence, involvement in care, and questionnaires examining maternal well-being. Mother and father mean presence (standard deviation) was significantly higher in the SFR - 17.4 (5.2) and 13.6 (6.8) - compared to OB - 11.9 (6.3) and 4.6 (3.7) hours/day. Total time spent in care activities did not differ for mothers, except SFR mothers spent more time expressing breast milk (EBM). SFR fathers had greater involvement with care activities. There were no other significant differences. The SFR was associated with greater maternal presence, but not greater involvement in care activities except for EBM, nor improved maternal well-being. The SFR appears to have greater impact on fathers' involvement in care and comforting activities, although the amount of time involved remained quite low compared with mothers. Further studies examining ways to enhance parental involvement in the neonatal intensive care unit are warranted.</p

Caregiver presence and involvement in a Canadian neonatal intensive care unit: an observational cohort study

Background: presence in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a vital step for caregivers initiating involvement, such as skin-to-skin contact, holding or singing/reading to their newborn. Little is known about caregiver presence and involvement in Canadian NICU's context by caregiver type (mother, father, other), and the association between maternal presence and key maternal and newborn characteristics. Purpose: the primary objective was to examine the presence and involvement of family caregivers in the NICU. The secondary objective was to examine the relationship between maternal presence and maternal and newborn characteristics. Design and methods: a prospective observational cohort study in an open bay setting of an Eastern Canadian NICU. Presence (physically present at the newborn's bedside) and involvement (e.g., skin-to-skin, singing/reading) were tracked daily by families in the NICU until discharge. Demographic information was also collected. Results: participants included 142 mothers and their newborns. Mothers were present 8.7 h/day, fathers were present 4.1 h/day, and other caregivers were present 1.8 h/day in the NICU in the first 34 days. Mothers were involved in care activities 50% of the time they were present in the NICU, whereas fathers and other caregivers were spending 20% and 6% of their time respectively. Regression identified maternal age, distance to home, parity, birthweight, and length of stay to be statistically significant variables related to maternal presence. Conclusions: there is variation in presence and involvement by caregiver type. Targeted interventions to maintain and increase mothers, fathers and other caregivers' presence and involvement in care throughout their stay in the NICU are recommended.</p
