| description | Objective:
To assess the treatment integrity of a memory rehabilitation programme for people with multiple sclerosis.
SUBJECTS:
Data were drawn from the intervention group of a randomised controlled trial of memory rehabilitation. This comprised 24 participants with multiple sclerosis.
MEASURES:
Four core session components were identified from the treatment manual: recap, activities, take-home activity and other. One video-recording of each of ten intervention sessions was transcribed and amount of time spent on components recorded.
RESULTS:
There were no significant differences between early and late stages of the programme in time spent on the core components (recap Z= -0.87, P=0.49; activities Z = -0.29, P=0.89; take-home activity Z = -0.59, P=0.69; other Z = -0.58, P=0.69). Thus, adherence to the manual was good with no evidence of programme drift.
CONCLUSIONS:
Good adherence indicates the intervention was delivered as described in the manual and strengthens confidence in the findings of the randomised controlled trial. |
