AbstractObjectiveInsomnia is a common, distressing, and impairing psychological outcome experienced by informal caregivers (ICs) of patients with cancer. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and acupuncture both have known benefits for patients with cancer, but such benefits have yet to be evaluated among ICs. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary effects of CBT-I and acupuncture among ICs with moderate or greater levels of insomnia.MethodParticipants were randomized to eight sessions of CBT-I or ten sessions of acupuncture.ResultsResults highlighted challenges of identifying interested and eligible ICs and the impact of perception of intervention on retention and likely ultimately outcome.Significance of the resultsFindings suggest preliminary support for non-pharmacological interventions to treat insomnia in ICs and emphasize the importance of matching treatment modality to the preferences and needs of ICs.

The Impact

The authors examined the impact of perceived usability of websites of commercial service vendors on consumer’s affective, intentional, and behavioral variables. Reflective and formative usability measures were used within a nomological network of predictors (trust, reputation, and perceived fun), mediators (user satisfaction, and intention to use), decision to choose as the criteria, product involvement as a moderator, and controls. Results from structural equation modeling revealed that usability holds both direct and indirect paths, via trust and perceived fun, to user satisfaction. User satisfaction was positively related to the intention to use and partially mediated the relation between usability and intention to use. Furthermore, product involvement does not moderate the relation between usability and intention to use and the relation between user satisfaction and intention to use. Finally, intention to use provided an excellent prediction of the decision to choose. Limitations and suggestions for future research are discussed.

The Impact

In behavioral medicine, there is adequate support for behavior modification strategies in reducing depression and anxiety in medical patients. There is comparably less support for cognitive interventions with these patients. Treatment outcome studies with cancer patients generally support the efficacy of cognitive–behavioral interventions, but studies have significant methodological limitations. Additionally, cognitive–behavioral therapy for depression incorporates numerous treatment components, and when examining data with nomothetic statistics, important individual differences may go unrecognized. With reference to the sudden gain literature on significant session-by-session treatment gains, this paper highlights the cognitive–behavioral treatment of two breast cancer patients with clinical depression. In addition to positive treatment outcome in which depression was significantly reduced and quality of life and medical outcomes improved, session-based sudden change data suggest that for these cancer patients, cognitive interventions were most significant in accounting for treatment gains. Findings are reviewed in the context of mechanism of change issues in the cognitive–behavioral treatment of depression.
