Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the shame resilience theory in a pilot context to assess its feasibility in a potential full scale clinical trial. Shame resilience was developed through qualitative methods but currently has little quantitative backing. Continued research is needed to assess shame-resilience as a potential intervention for shame which little is known to combat prevalent negative health outcomes associated with shame.

Detailed description

Shame is an emotion that can have significant negative impacts on health outcomes, including engagement in care. Feelings of shame are commonly experienced with stigmatized behaviors, such as substance misuse, and may be particularly strong among pregnant women who misuse substances. Rates of opioid misuse during pregnancy are dramatically rising, particularly in New Mexico, leading to negative health outcomes for mothers and fetuses. Shame has been found to decrease these patients' willingness to attend and engage in care. Although a theoretical model is available to guide interventions to reduce shame, it has not been tested empirically. In the current study, investigators seek to evaluate the preliminary effectiveness and feasibility of a brief Shame Resilience Intervention among women seeking care in UNM's Milagro program, a prenatal medical clinic for opioid using pregnant women. This research has the potential to significantly improve public health by generating a tool to reduce barriers to care.
