Clinical Trial Summary
The goal of this interventional study is to compare in logotherapy-based intervention
practiced to depressed patients on depression, psychological pain and meaning of life. The
main questions it aims to answer are:
- Is the logotherapy-based intervention practiced in addition to the standard treatment in
depression patients effective in reducing the depression levels of the patients?
- Is the logotherapy-based intervention practiced in addition to the standard treatment in
depression patients effective in reducing the psychological pain levels of the patients?
- Is the logotherapy-based intervention practiced in addition to the standard treatment in
depression patients effective in increasing the patients' level of meaning to life?
Participants will be done online interview once a week for eight sessions. Researchers
will compare intervention and control groups to see if logotherapy-based intervention
practiced effect depression, psychological pain and meaning of life levels.
Description:
The research was conducted to examine the effect of logotherapy-based intervention practiced
to depressed patients on depression, psychological pain and meaning of life.
The research is in a quasi-experimental research design with pre-test post-test follow-up
measurement, control group. Sample selection was carried out in two stages, and in the first
stage, 48 patients diagnosed with depression between September 2020 and September 2022 were
referred to the researcher by the polyclinic physician. The patients were evaluated within
the scope of the inclusion criteria of the study, and 32 patients with a diagnosis of
depression, aged 18-65 years, voluntarily aged between 18-65, who scored 17 points or more
from the Beck Depression Inventory, were accepted into the study. Patients were assigned to
intervention and control groups, respectively. A total of 28 patients, 12 intervention and 16
control groups, completed the study. "Descriptive Information Form", "Beck Depression
Inventory", "Psychache Scale" and "Meaning of Life Questionnaire" were used as data
collection tools in the study. Online logotherapy-based intervention was administered to the
individuals in the intervention group as a total of eight sessions, once a week. In order to
evaluate the effect of logotherapy-based intervention, Beck Depression Inventory, Psychache
Scaleand Meaning of Life Questionnaire were administered to all individuals in the sample
group at time series points (pretest, posttest, follow-up test at 3rd month). In the analysis
of the data, descriptive statistics, independent t-test, chi-square analysis, analysis of
variance in repeated measurements, Bonferroni correction were applied.
