The aim of this study was to investigate changes in anxiety symptoms among women treated in women's health practices under a collaborative care model. Through secondary analysis of electronic records of 219 women, it was found that implementing collaborative care was associated with a significant reduction in anxiety symptoms. Longer duration of collaborative care services was also found to have a greater effect on reducing anxiety symptoms.
Aim: The purpose of this study is to focus on changes in anxiety symptoms among women treated in women's health practices and under a collaborative care model.Background: Research on collaborative care has largely focused on improving depressive and anxiety symptoms among adults in primary care settings. The applicability of collaborative care in other healthcare settings is underreported with limited research investigating if collaborative care has advantages in subpopulations treated in both traditional primary care settings and other healthcare settings, such as women's health practices.Methods: This study, completed through secondary data analysis of the electronic record of N = 219 women across three women's healthcare centers, evaluated if instituting a collaborative care model is associated with reduced anxiety symptoms and which factors (eg, primary diagnosis, duration of care, and use of psychotropic medications) are associated with anxiety outcomes. Anxiety symptoms were assessed using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale (GAD-7) at entry into and at termination from collaborative care services.Results: Overall, there was a significant reduction in average anxiety scores from baseline to termination of collaborative care (t(218) = 12.41, P < 0.001). There was a main effect for the duration of time receiving collaborative care services on anxiety score reduction (beta = -0.28, SE = 0.06, P < 0.001) with a significant reduction in anxiety symptoms at the 90-day mark (t(218) = 10.58, P < 0.001). Therefore, collaborative care can be useful in women's health practices in reducing anxiety symptoms over a 90-day time period.
