Filter by:Objective: Panic disorder is one of the most prevalent anxiety disorders and with the greatest impact on the functionality of patients. Knowing variables that influence the therapies outcome can improve the results of the interventions and reduce the socio-health cost. The current study examined possible predictors and moderators of outcome in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Method: Eighty patients with diagnostic of panic disorder received 12 group sessions of CBT or ACT and were assessed with several measures at baseline, 12 weeks post-treatment and 24 weeks post-treatment.
A pilot randomized controlled trial was carried out. Fifty nursing students were randomly assigned either a 50-minute brief motivational intervention with individual feedback or a treatment-as-usual control condition. The intervention was delivered by undergraduate peer counsellors trained in Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students. Primary outcomes for testing efficacy were alcohol use and alcohol-related consequences.
This study is being conducted together by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and Lyssn.io, Inc., ("Lyssn"), a technology start-up developing digital tools to support evidence-based psychotherapies (EBPs) for mental health disorders and addiction. This study will implement a technology to assess and enhance the quality of EBPs like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) that includes a user interface geared to clinical, supervision, and administrative workflows and needs, and then assess this technology for effectiveness in comparison to usual care. There is a tremendous global burden of mental illness: Over 50 million American adults have a diagnosable mental health disorder, and major depression on its own is the leading cause of disability worldwide. In the face of this burden, clinical research has documented a variety of effective EBPs (e.g. CBT), and these psychotherapies are utilized on a massive scale. Systems have invested over $2 billion in training providers in specific EBPs. Once trained, however, therapists' adherence to the EBP, also called fidelity, is both crucial for effectiveness and difficult to assess. There is no scalable method to assess the fidelity and quality of EBPs in community practice settings. This is a foundational problem for healthcare systems. Advances in speech processing and machine learning make technology a promising solution to this problem. The use of technology - instead of humans - to evaluate EBPs means that objective, performance-based feedback can be provided quickly, efficiently, cost-effectively, and without human error. If successful, the present research will be among the first examples of a method for building, monitoring, and assessing the quality of therapy that can scale up to large, real-world healthcare settings. In this study, the investigators will implement an existing, fully-functional prototype (LyssnCBT) that includes a user interface geared to community mental health (CMH) clinical, supervision, and administrative workflows and needs, and then assess for effectiveness of psychotherapy supported by LyssnCBT in comparison to usual care. This study will implement LyssnCBT in 5 community mental health agencies, beginning with a single-arm pilot field trial to identify and address any specific barriers to implementing the tool in a community mental health context. The study team will then conduct a larger study in community mental health agencies comparing LyssnCBT to services as usual.
This case series and feasibility trial evaluated a novel integrated cognitive behavioral treatment, which was adapted specifically for homeless individuals and developed to treat substance use and depressive symptoms simultaneously. The integrated cognitive behavioral treatment was delivered among four homeless individuals enrolled in the Treatment First program (a social services program where treatment is offered in conjunction with temporary transitional housing), who had access to stable and sober housing milieus.
When untreated, eating disorders present with tremendous burdens to affected active duty Service members and Veterans and their families, and are very costly to the DoD and VA healthcare system. A comparative effectiveness study with state-of-the-art virtual treatment for BN and BED specifically adapted for testing with the Veteran population and other underrepresented eating disorder populations will lead to major improvements in clinical outcomes. The treatment will be integrated with VA's newest telehealth technology to profoundly enhance access to care anywhere, at any time. This trial of therapist-led and self-help CBT treatments, combined with our expert panel methods to inform VA Clinical Practice Guidelines for Eating Disorders and plans for dissemination, will accelerate the pace for the transition of results both for large-scale deployment in the VA system and for real-world impact among diverse and underrepresented eating disorder populations.
This study compares the effectiveness of two levels of therapist support for an internet-based, parent-led cognitive behavioral therapy for youth with anxiety and ASD.
The aim of this study, to examine the effects of cognitive behavioral therapy education to elderly care students on ageism, attitudes towards the elderly, empathy and body image.
A quasi-experimental study was carried out with the complete team of the Spanish youth team of Rowing (n = 16). The setting where the intervention took place was during the concentration prior to the 2020 European Rowing Junior Championships. The final assessment was carried out the week before the championship (after finishing the 10th week of intervention). Psychological variables were assessed using the Psychological Characteristics Related to Sport Performance Questionnaire.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a debilitating disorder characterized by unwanted intrusive thoughts and disrupting repetitive rituals. Epidemiological studies estimate the prevalence of impairing OCD to be between 0.5-3.0 % in pediatric populations. Although OCD in youth is associated with substantial distress and functional impairment, access to evidence-based psychosocial treatments is limited. This is largely due to the fact that few clinicians are trained in the delivery of evidence-based treatments, such as exposure-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Therefore it is of great importance to develop treatment programs that utilize therapist resources in the most efficient way. Exposure-based CBT delivered in the context of a group, rather than individually, is one such option. However, there are currently no evidence-based group OCD treatment manuals for youth available to clinicians in Denmark. Therefore this project addresses an important clinical need. We evaluate a group-based CBT protocol for the treatment of youth with OCD, benchmarking treatment outcomes against data from a previous trial evaluating individual-based CBT and by comparing outcomes against a short waiting list period. Further, we will explore the impact of group-based CBT over a 36-month open follow-up interval on general functioning, relapse, recurrence rates, and the need for other treatments. Finally, a brief youth questionnaire assessing overall symptom severity relevant for the evaluation of outcomes in pediatric OCD will be translated and validated for future clinical and research use in Denmark. The project will include 72 adolescents with a primary diagnosis of OCD referred for assessment and treatment at the OCD Clinic at Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Aarhus University Hospital, Psychiatry, Denmark. For benchmarking of treatment outcomes, the project will compare the results from the group-based CBT with data from 45 Danish patients previously enrolled in the individual-based CBT of the Nordic Long Term OCD Treatment Study at the same clinic.
The purpose of this study is to use CBT strategies in assisting patients hospitalized in intensive care units in ventilation wean through a case series of 2 patients.
