Outcome measures
Primary outcome
In the Neurawear project, the primary outcome measures are interoceptive
awareness, emotion regulation and regulatory emotional self-efficacy. In
addition, primary outcomes are individual target behavior (such as aggression
or overstimulation) and the added value of Wearalyze to the daily activities
and treatment of the client.
Secondary outcome
In the Neurawear project, the secondary outcomes measures are system usability
and technology acceptance.
Background summary
Forensic psychiatry aims to reduce the risk of reoffending among patients who
often exhibit uncontrolled aggressive and violent behavior (AVB). Although
current interventions for AVB are found to be effective, the effect sizes are
rather small (Gibbon et al., 2020; Iruthayarajah et al., 2018). Most
interventions are currently focused on the cognitive and psychological factors
that contribute to AVB, while biological and neurophysiological factors are
important as well (Gibbon et al., 2020; Kozhuharova et al., 2019; Wong et al.,
2020). Combining traditional psychosocial and cognitive behavioral treatment
interventions with physiological information on sleep, stress and activity
might thus provide numerous insights to improve interventions (Johnson &
Picard, 2020).
Study objective
The proposed study aims to develop a new dashboard (Wearalyze) and design a new
user interface in co-creation with therapists, patients and experts in
technology to enhance its usability and acceptability. In addition, we explore
whether the use of Wearalyze is of added value on interoceptive awareness,
emotion regulation and regulatory emotional self-efficacy. At last, we examine
the usability and acceptance of Wearalyze.
Study design
The Neurawear project includes a multiple baseline across subjects A-B design.
Study burden and risks
The proposed study involves collecting data using questionnaires, experience
sampling and interviews. In the Neurawear project, participants are asked two
times to fill out three questionnaires which takes less than 15 minutes each to
complete and one time daily over the course of the intervention to fill out a
short questionnaire which takes approximately two minutes to fill out. In
addition, participants participate in an interview which takes approximately 30
minutes to complete. Besides the time investment, no negative consequences due
to answering the questionnaires are expected. The wearables are implemented in
daily activities, therefore no loss of time due to this study component is
expected. Wearing the devices could result in some discomfort over time.
