Brief Summary

This project has a parallel randomized controlled experimental design since within the methodology there will be a control of the conditions under study, that is, the selection of subjects, the way the treatment will be administered, the way in which the observations will be obtained, the use of instruments to perform the measurements and the interpretation of the criteria will be implemented in a homogeneous manner. Convenience sampling was used to obtain the subjects for the study, the sample size was 34 bariatric patients from a private bariatric center in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups. The group understudy or experimental or the control group on the waitlist; that is, no researcher or study participant made the decision of treatment that participants receive. The intervention consists of two psychoeducative sessions and five cognitive dissonance sessions. All participants will receive the same multivitamin for the duration of the study. Validated tests for adherence, medication knowledge, self-care, self-efficacy, and psychopathological symptoms were applied to both groups. Additionally, a blood sample was collected for the determination of Hemoglobin, Iron, Copper, Zinc, Calcium, Phosphate, Vitamin D, and Folate. Measurements using tests and blood samples will be made before and after receiving the intervention \[pre and post-test\]. For results analysis, Repeated measures ANOVA will be used, the study population shall be stratified into subgroups, by type of bariatric surgery, age, and sex; this in order to restrict comparisons to participants who are part of the same subgroup. The aim of the study is to assess the impact of an intervention based on the cognitive dissonance theory to promote adherence to the bariatric multivitamin. The hypothesis of the study is: Participants exposed to Festinger's theory-based intervention will exhibit changes in their attitude and behavior towards multivitamin intake as a product of cognitive dissonance.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

  • Therapy adherence using the MBG (Martin-Bayarre-Grau) Questionnaire

    Adherence of the participants to the multivitamin given, using an instrument validated for the Mexican population. The instrument is based on a Lickert scale, all questions have 5 possible answers that go from Never to Always and have respective values of 0 - 5, the total of the answer points is then recategorized to 0-17 No adherence, 18-37 Partial Adherence, and 38-48 Total Adherence.

    Change from Baseline Adherence level at 3 months

  • Serum Iron, Copper and Zinc levels assessed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS)

    Participants serum levels of Iron, Copper and Zinc in micrograms per deciliter

    Change from Baseline Iron, Copper and Zinc levels at 3 months

  • Serum Calcium, Phosphate, levels measured by Colorimetric Spectroscopy

    Participants serum levels of Calcium and Phosphate in milligrams per deciliter

    Change from Baseline Calcium and Phosphate levels at 3 months

  • Serum Albumin and Total Protein levels measured by Colorimetric Spectroscopy

    Participants serum levels of Albumin and Total Protein in grams per deciliter, the Albumin/Globulin Ratio will also be calculated as: Albumin/(Total Protein-Albumin).

    Change from Baseline Albumin and Total Protein levels at 3 months

  • Serum Vitamin D and Folate levels measured by Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA)

    Participants serum levels of Vitamin D and Folate in nanograms per mililiter.

    Change from Baseline Vitamin D and Folate levels at 3 months

  • Hemoglobin levels measured by the Hematology Analyzer

    Participants Hemoglobin levels in grams per deciliter will be obtained using an Hematology Analyzer with a Reagent-Less method.

    Change from Baseline Hemoglobin levels at 3 months

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Self-Care Capacity assessed using the Self-care Agency Appreciation (SAA)

    Change from Baseline Self-Care levels at 3 months after psychological intervention

  • Self-Efficacy assessed using the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE)

    Change from Baseline Self-Efficacy levels at 3 months after psychological intervention

  • Psychopathological symptoms assessed using the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R)

    Change from Baseline Psychopathological symptoms at 3 months after psychological intervention

  • Knowledge of the Multivitaminic supplement assessed using a questionnaire to assess patient knowledge of their medicines

    Change from Baseline Knowledge score at 3 months after psychological intervention

A blood sample will be taken before the first take of the multivitamins and at the end of the intervention to measure: Hemoglobin, Calcium, Phosphorous, Iron, Copper, Zinc, Vitamin D, and Folate. During the three months of the intervention, the intervention group will receive one psycho-educative session and five Cognitive Dissonance sessions.
