Consequences of Respiratory Devices on Caregivers (CAP2)

Overview

The promoter of the study will conduct a monocentric cohort study that aim to evaluate the consequences of home respiratory devices on patient caregivers' quality of life. The investigators will examine the impact of home respiratory devices on quality of life in general, sleep quality, anxiety and humour depending on equipment type (Non-invasive ventilation (NIV), continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT)) for patients and partners. The investigators will assess the correlation between patient and caregiver's answers. The investigators will assess the correlation between couple's quality of life and adherence to treatment. To do this, the investigators will use four quality of life questionnaires and the investigators will collect demographic data, medical data and usage report from the equipment.

  • Study Type: Observational [Patient Registry]
  • Study Design
    • Time Perspective: Prospective
  • Study Primary Completion Date: May 1, 2023

Detailed Description

Home respiratory devices improve patients' quality of life and clinical outcomes. However, they bring medical equipment into the bedroom and are used overnight. The aim of this prospective cohort is to assess the quality of life of patient's caregivers. Patient caregivers' quality of life will be assessed using the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire (World Health Organization Quality of Life – Brief version questionnaire). The investigators expect to enroll 200 patients' partners equipped with non-invasive ventilation, 100 patients' partners equipped with continuous positive airway pressure and 50 patients' partners equipped with long-term oxygen therapy. Patients will be recruited from the cohort of patients already established on home treatment and cared for by Asten Santé. After consent, patient will receive dedicated questionnaires. During a home visit, home healthcare provider technician will retrieve data from the home device.

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Partner’s quality of life score evaluated with WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire (World Health Organization Quality of Life – Brief version questionnaire)
    • Time Frame: The assessment will take place during the inclusion call (or in the following 10 days, during the respiratory devices provider’s visit if the participant was unavailable to answer to the questionnaire during the inclusion call)
    • Total quality of life score on WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire (World Health Organization Quality of Life – Brief version questionnaire). This questionnaire contains 26 items and addresses four quality of life domains. Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale (low score of 1 to high score of 5) to determine a raw item score. The first and the second questions of the questionnaire are examined separately. For the other questions, the mean score for each domain is calculated, resulting in a mean score per domain that is between 4 and 20. Finally, this mean domain score is then multiplied by 4 in order to transform the domain score into a scaled score . For each domain, the minimum domain score is 4 and the maximum domain score is 20. It corresponds to a minimum scaled score of 0 and a maximum scale score of 100 for each domain. A higher score indicating a higher QOL.

    • Total quality of life score on study specific questionnaire. It corresponds with the total score on the study specific questionnaire prepared by the investigators before the study after consulting a committee of experts in the field of chronic respiratory failure and a panel of patients familiar with ventilation according to the Delphi method. This questionnaire assesses five areas of quality of life : sleep, health, married life, social relations and participation in care through the 20 questions considered the most relevant by the panel. Items are rated on a 10-point Likert scale (low score of 0 to high score of 10) to determine each question score. For each question, the minimum score value is 0 and the maximum score value is 10. The minimum total score value is 0 reflection of a very negative impact of the equipment on the studied domains and the maximum score is 200, reflection of a very positive impact of the equipment.

  • Partner’s sleep quality evaluated with PSQI index (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality index) for each equipment
    • Time Frame: The assessment will take place during the inclusion call (or in the following 10 days, during the respiratory devices provider’s visit if the participant was unavailable to answer to the questionnaire during the inclusion call)
    • Total sleep quality score on PSQI index (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality index). The PSQI score will be expressed as a sub-score for the 7 areas of study and as an overall score (addition of all the sub-scores). For each studied domain, the minimum sub-score is 0 (best quality of sleep) and the maximum sub-score is 3 (worst quality of sleep). An overall score greater than or equal to 5 is a reflection of poor quality of sleep.

It has 14 items ranked from 0 to 3. Seven questions relate to anxiety and seven others to the depressive dimension. The score obtained on the HADS scale will be expressed as a score for each area of study: the “anxiety score”, evaluated by the 7 questions (questions number 1,3,5,7,9,11 and 13) the depression score evaluated by the 7 other questions. The total score ranges from 0 to 42 for each participant. For each score (anxiety or depression), a score value of 7 or less corresponds to the absence of anxiety or depression. A score value between 8 and 10 reflects a doubtful symptomatology. A score value more than 11 reflect that the symptomatology is certain.
