A character-strengths based coaching intervention to improve wellbeing of rural community health workers in Madhya Pradesh, India: Protocol for a single-blind randomized controlled trial
Background
There is scarce knowledge on the use of structured positive psychology interventions for reducing work-stress and improving wellbeing of rural community health workers in India, particularly the Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) who are village-level (resident women, incentivised) lay health workers. This trial will test the effectiveness of a ‘character-strengths’ based coaching intervention compared to routine supervision on wellbeing (‘authentic happiness’) of ASHAs.
Methods
This protocol is for a single-blind, parallel group randomized controlled trial comparing the effectiveness of a five-day residential workshop focusing on the use of character-strengths and subsequent 8- to 10-week remote telephonic coaching (weekly) to individually support ASHAs to improve their wellbeing, against routine health system support. The arms are intervention added to routine ASHA supervision (weekly, by the ASHA supervisor), and routine supervision alone (control arm). The target sample comprises 330 rural ASHAs in Madhya Pradesh, India. The primary outcome of mean Authentic Happiness Inventory (AHI) scores will be compared between arms at 3-month follow-up. Secondary outcomes will include an assessment of ASHA's self-reported affect, self-efficacy, flourishing, burnout, motivation, physical health symptoms, quality of life, and routine work performance indicators, and the consequent patient-level outcomes [e.g., service satisfaction and depression remission rates after receiving brief psychological treatment by trained ASHAs]. We will also evaluate the costs of developing and delivering the intervention.
Discussion
This trial will determine whether a character-strengths based coaching intervention is an effective and scalable approach for reducing work-stress and improving wellbeing of rural ASHAs in low-resource settings.
期刊介绍：
Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications is an international peer reviewed open access journal that publishes articles pertaining to all aspects of clinical trials, including, but not limited to, design, conduct, analysis, regulation and ethics. Manuscripts submitted should appeal to a readership drawn from a wide range of disciplines including medicine, life science, pharmaceutical science, biostatistics, epidemiology, computer science, management science, behavioral science, and bioethics. Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications is unique in that it is outside the confines of disease specifications, and it strives to increase the transparency of medical research and reduce publication bias by publishing scientifically valid original research findings irrespective of their perceived importance, significance or impact. Both randomized and non-randomized trials are within the scope of the Journal. Some common topics include trial design rationale and methods, operational methodologies and challenges, and positive and negative trial results. In addition to original research, the Journal also welcomes other types of communications including, but are not limited to, methodology reviews, perspectives and discussions. Through timely dissemination of advances in clinical trials, the goal of Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications is to serve as a platform to enhance the communication and collaboration within the global clinical trials community that ultimately advances this field of research for the benefit of patients.
