A quantitative process evaluation of a feasibility randomised controlled trial of a co-designed cognitive behavioural therapy intervention for people with type 1 diabetes and disordered eating (steady trial): Auditing treatment integrity and delivery.
Quantitative analysis reveals treatment integrity in a randomised controlled trial for type 1 diabetes, suggesting future scaling for broader access.
Key Points
Competent treatment was delivered with a mean Cognitive Therapy Rating Scale score of 3.81, highlighting adherence to the cognitive behavioural therapy framework.
The study utilized a variety of tools from the STEADY toolkit, with CBT formulation being the most frequently used tool during the intervention.
Delivery of the STEADY intervention took an average of 153.3 days, indicating a need for flexibility in session timing for participants.
Findings support the feasibility of scaling the STEADY intervention for a multi-site randomised controlled trial, enhancing accessibility for diverse populations.
