Study Summary
Lower extremity amputations are a significant cause of morbidity, mortality, loss of function and reduced quality of life. Self-management (defined as the process by which an individual adopts an active role in managing the symptoms, treatment, consequences, and lifestyle changes inherent in living with a chronic condition) is an important mechanism for improving health and reducing disability. This study will evaluate a 5-week group-based self-management intervention for Veterans with lower extremity limb loss (VETPALS) and determine its impact upon physical and psychosocial functioning, patient activation, self-efficacy, problem solving, quality of life and positive affect. This study represents one of the only prospective randomized controlled trials of a behavioral intervention for individuals with limb loss. It is expected that results will be used to inform the integration of self-management interventions into the VA Amputation System of Care. The specific primary hypotheses are: 1. Individuals randomized to VETPALS will display greater improvements from baseline in physical functioning as measured by the MFA-SF than Veterans in the individual education support condition post-intervention and at a 6 month follow-up. 2. Individuals randomized to VETPALS will display greater improvements from baseline in psychosocial functioning as measured by the PHQ-9 than Veterans in the individual education support condition post-intervention and at a 6 month follow-up.
