Official title
[2069264-1] Wellness & Workforce Solution for Lupus and Lupus Nephritis / Janssen Clinical Investigator Initiated Study
Overview
The investigators will test the hypothesis that culturally congruent coaching delivered via a technology application (Health360x) will improve the persistent disparities observed among women of color with lupus or lupus nephritis by addressing underlying psychosocial barriers to behavioral change.
Detailed description
The investigators' proposed intervention combines technology with culturally congruent coaching (C3) to increase access and engagement of women of color with lupus through remote instruction. The investigators will test the hypothesis that culturally congruent coaching delivered via a technology application (Health360x) will improve the persistent disparities observed among women of color with lupus or lupus nephritis by addressing underlying psychosocial barriers to behavioral change. The investigators will attain this by connecting patients to extensively trained coaches who have lived experiences that clinicians and providers often lack. These shared social and cultural experiences breeds trust and allows for more open communication that the coach can use to provide more appropriate guidance. Leveraging technology, the investigators' program is asynchronous, promotes engagement and retention of information through micro-learning, and allows the investigators to better understand patient experiences beyond structured surveys by capturing what is happening in the patient-coach relationship.
Interventions
- Behavioral Micro-learning content
This is a series of modules designed to provide disease education, additional communication through 'push notifications,' promote self-management, and medication adherence in women of color with lupus and lupus nephritis. Leveraging technology, this program is asynchronous, promotes engagement and retention of information through micro-learning, and allows the investigators to better understand patient experiences beyond structured surveys by capturing what is happening in the patient-coach rela - Behavioral Health360x app
The coach and participant will use problem-solving tools embedded in Health360x to map out potential barriers to goal attainment and create goal action plans. This application has the potential to help improve health-related quality of life, and reduce morbidity and mortality associated with Lupus. The intervention also tests the role of health coaches in the lupus ecosystem. The potential economic gain and impact on more extant social determinants of health can create long ranging benefits on t - Behavioral Culturally congruent coaching
The coaching process includes specified visits over the course of our proposed 6-month intervention. These visits will occur remotely using HIPAA compliant video conferencing tools or in person when it is safe and convenient to meet in person. Overall, the coaches will work with Lupus patients to facilitate experiential learning, improve functioning and performance in the context of working towards specific goals.
