Acute stress can trigger strong, affect-driven urges to smoke, vape, or engage in stress-attributed eating. These urges can rise and fall within minutes to hours, operating outside the reach of conventional clinic-based interventions delivered days or weeks later.\n\nThis pilot micro-randomized trial (MRT) evaluates whether delivering a brief, culturally adapted support message via smartphone during moments of high self-reported stress reduces the intensity of the urge for the participant's pre-specified target behaviour, relative to no message. Over a 24-day period, 115 participants will be scheduled for up to 5 ecological momentary assessments (EMA) per day. Whenever a participant reports an acute stress level of 5 or higher (0 to 10 scale) and satisfies pre-specified privacy, safety, behavioural, and spacing criteria, the app randomizes with probability 0.5 to deliver either a brief support message or no message. By contributing multiple randomized decision points over time, each participant serves as their own micro-control.\n\nThe primary outcome is the intensity of the urge for the participant's pre-specified target behaviour, measured 45 to 60 minutes after randomization. An exploratory urge assessment is also collected 10 minutes after randomization; comparing the two time points will help establish whether the support message's effect is immediate, delayed, or both, and will inform the choice of follow-up window for a future, fully powered trial. Prior to trial launch, all EMA items, message content, notification logic, and digital safety protocols will be developed and tested with community members, reviewed by a Community Advisory Board, and locked.\n\nAs a pilot optimization trial, its objectives are to estimate the short-term causal effect of the prompt, to identify the contexts in which that effect is larger or smaller, and to establish whether momentary assessment and just-in-time intervention research can be delivered safely, privately, and acceptably in this high-stigma setting.

Older adults (≥65 years) are particularly vulnerable to postoperative complications and their associated morbidities due to the biological aging process. Older adults comprise nearly half of surgical patients worldwide, and this number is expected to increase in the next 10-20 years as the aging population continues to grow. TKA is the most common procedure undergone by older adults, and the rate of TKA procedures is also expected to rise. Despite perioperative guidelines and protocols to prevent postoperative complications, the prevalence of postoperative complications following TKA is approximately 12%. Given these statistics, millions of older adults undergoing TKA may be at risk for postoperative complications and their associated morbidities in the coming decades. Therefore, additional interventions are needed to combat postoperative complications in this population.\n\nThe body's natural response to surgery, also known as the surgical stress response (SSR), contributes to postoperative complications through complex mechanisms involving the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Increased sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity, or the body's fight-or-flight response, causes dysregulation in feedback systems that regulate the stress response, potentially leading to poorer outcomes. Interventions, such as breathwork, that induce the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), or the body's rest-and-digest response, have been shown to balance the ANS, regulate stress biology, and improve outcomes. This study will examine the feasibility of adding a breathwork intervention (Box Breathing), compared to an attention control, to standard perioperative care for older adults undergoing TKA.

Both PA and cognitive training (CT) have shown to improve cognitive function in older adults who experience cognitive function decline because of psychological stress. However, there are no studies using this approach for this population. We propose a randomized control trial pilot study to address this gap. Driven by a Community Advisory Committee (CAC) we will develop this 12-week mindful walking intervention using a participatory methodology in partnership with UIC's Cognition Behavior and Mindfulness Clinic that combines the PA of walking and the CT through mindfulness. We will recruit fifty participants and will randomly and equally assign 25 people to the intervention and 25 people to the control group. The intervention will include: 1) a mindful walking training followed by 2) a prescribed mindful walking regimen, 3) self-reporting of adherence to regimen by the participants using activity logbooks and use of a user-friendly PA tracker (Fitbit) for daily step count, and 4) personalized text messages with reminders and motivational messages for participants to do the mindful walking as prescribed including a weekly check-in call or text message for accountability.
