ABSTRACT
Evidence-based adherence counseling interventions must be delivered with fidelity to ensure that their effectiveness is retained, but little is known regarding how counselors in biomedical HIV trials deliver these interventions. Forty-two counselors from the MTN-025/HOPE Study, which was conducted in 14 sites in sub-Saharan Africa, participated. They completed a quantitative assessment and consented for their HOPE counseling session ratings to be analyzed. Twenty-two (52%) self-identified as research nurses and 20 (48%) as counselors. Of 928 session ratings, 609 (66%) were classified as Good, 188 (20%) as Fair, and 131 (14%) as Poor, based on pre-established criteria. Overall mean ratings for session tasks and global components (each rated from 1 to 5) were 4.12 (SD = 0.45; range 2.46-4.73) and 4.02 (SD = 0.64; range 1.75-4.79), respectively. Twenty-six (62%) counselors attained Good or Fair ratings on at least 85% of their sessions, but 33% of counselors had more than 25% of their sessions rated as Poor; three counselors (7%) never met criteria for a Good session. Even after extensive training, counselors' fidelity to the intervention varied. Our findings highlight the value of fidelity monitoring using session audio-recordings, the importance of ongoing coaching and support, and the need to plan for counselors with consistently poor fidelity.
RESUMEN
RESUMEN Las intervenciones de consejería de adherencia basadas en la evidencia deben ser realizadas con fidelidad para asegurar que retengan su efectividad, pero se sabe poco sobre cómo los consejeros en ensayos biomédicos de VIH realizan estas intervenciones. Cuarenta y dos consejeros participaron del Estudio MTN-025/HOPE, el cual se llevó a cabo en 14 sitios en África subsahariana. Completaron un cuestionario cuantitativo y dieron su consentimiento para el análisis de las calificaciones de sus sesiones de consejería para HOPE. Veintidós (52%) se identificaron como enfermeras investigadoras y 20 (48%) como consejeros. De 928 sesiones calificadas, 609 (66%) fueron clasificadas como Buenas, 188 (20%) como Suficientes, y 131 (14%) como Mediocres, basado en criterios preestablecidos. Las calificaciones promedias de las tareas de las sesiones y de los componentes globales (calificados de 1 a 5) fueron de 4.12 (SD = 0.45; rango 2.46­4.73) y de 4.02 (SD = 0.64; rango 1.75­4.79), respectivamente. Veintiséis (62%) consejeros lograron calificaciones Buenas o Suficientes en al menos el 85% de sus sesiones, pero para el 33% de los consejeros, más del 25% de sus sesiones fueron calificadas como Mediocres; tres consejeros (7%) nunca cumplieron con los criterios de una Buena sesión. Aún después de una capacitación intensiva, la fidelidad a la intervención variaba. Nuestros hallazgos destacan el valor de monitorear para la fidelidad usando audio-grabaciones de las sesiones, la importancia de la instrucción y el apoyo continuo, y la necesidad de planear qué medidas tomar cuando hay consejeros que no son fieles a la intervención.
