在临床试验中对心理社会干预措施进行测试，对维持严格的实验方案和在整个项目中统一提供干预措施提出了许多挑战。这些挑战直接影响到所报告的社会心理干预措施的有效性。在这篇文章中，作者描述了由一个跨学科的研究团队从娱乐治疗和护理开发的治疗保真计划，在由国家护理研究所资助的临床试验中实施娱乐活动。该试验测试了活动对痴呆症行为症状的反应效果。作者报告了治疗保真度策略，以便将他们的干预措施与其他研究进行比较，提高类似研究中的效应大小，并促进这项工作的复制和转化为临床实践。
The testing of psychosocial interventions in a clinical trial poses many challenges to maintaining a rigorous experimental protocol and to delivering the interventions uniformly throughout the project. These challenges directly affect the reported effectiveness of psychosocial interventions. In this article, the authors describe the treatment fidelity plan developed by an interdisciplinary research team from recreational therapy and nursing for implementing recreational activities during a clinical trial funded by the National Institute of Nursing Research. The trial tests the efficacy of activities for responding to the behavioral symptoms of dementia. The authors report treatment fidelity strategies to allow comparison of their intervention with that of other studies, to improve effect size in similar studies, and to facilitate replication and translation of this work into clinical practice.
