Summary

Recurrence of acute pancreatitis (AP) is often facilitated by regular alcohol consumption and smoking. An applied lifestyle intervention focusing on the cessation of alcohol consumption and smoking might prevent the recurrence of AP. REAPPEAR Study is a randomized controlled trial and a cohort study focusing on the efficacy of the lifestyle intervention and the effect of quitting alcohol and smoking respectively.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Standard intervention only

Standard intervention (SI) will be a part of standard care in all participating centers, and will be provided for all acute pancreatitis patients, who are hospitalized and their condition is alcohol induced. A specially trained study nurse will deliver the intervention, since they were found to be the most effective regarding the decrease in alcohol consumption and smoking. The cost- effectiveness of the intervention and the feasibility were also taken into account. The Assist-linked brief intervention according to the World Health Organization (WHO) will serve as the base for the intervention, with an avarage of 30 minutes, based on a review containing 69 randomized controlled trials, which concluded that longer intervention do not have additional benefit. The patients will be also educated about the disease course of acute pancreatitis during the standard intervention.

BEHAVIORAL

Standard intervention plus repeated intervention

Standard intervention (SI) will be performed as described above. The repeated intervention will be delivered by the former mentioned same nurse and will be structured similarly to the standard intervention. Every visit and intervention will be individually altered according to the motivation of the patient, but they will follow the same structure. The sessions can be divided into three main parts: first, highlighting the harmful effects of smoking and alcohol on the pancreatic functions. Secondly, a discussion about the motivation of the patient will happen. The last portion of the session will focus on the responsibility of the individual to reach the desired goal will be highlighted. To enhance the efficacy of our intervention we wish to provide feed-back for the patient based on laboratory testing: the mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and gamma glutamyl-transferase (GGT) values will be measured right before the interview. The study nurse will not take part in patient care.
