Reimagining Interventions for Support and Education in Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis
Weill Medical College of Cornell University
42 participants

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The central hypothesis is that a peer coach-delivered intervention that includes cognitive behavioral principles combined with theory-driven patient education will improve health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of patients with hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP). The goal of this behavioral and educational intervention, RISE-HP, is to improve health-related quality of life in people who have hypersensitivity pneumonitis and assess feasibility and accessibility of this intervention. Patients with hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) experience uncertainty, feelings of anxiety and depression, and marked disruption to their lifestyle and home environment. Poor health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in HP is also driven in part by patients' profound lack of knowledge about the disease. Existing interventions for patients with HP do not target improvement in quality of life. Participants will complete either RISE-HP, a 10-session peer coach delivered behavioral and educational intervention to improve HRQOL in HP, or Staying Well, a 10-session general health education program.

Interventions
The RISE-HP intervention consists of three components: peer support (peer coach), cognitive restructuring, and patient education. It consists of 10 weekly one-on-one meetings with a peer coach (a person with lived experience with HP who has been trained to deliver the content of the RISE-HP intervention to another person with HP). The RISE-HP intervention delivered by peer coaches using the principles of cognitive behavioral therapy combined with theory driven patient education targets the health-related quality of life of patients living with hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
The Staying Well intervention consists of 12 weeks of educational sessions. The participants can choose the 10 education sessions out of the 12 they want to cover with the research assistant. Participants will meet weekly with the research coordinator for an estimated 30-45 minutes per session.
