Filter by:The pilot study that will serve as the basis for the larger project - a multicenter randomized controlled single-blinded trial (RCT) will focus on testing the feasibility and efficacy of an inpatient group ACT treatment program and its effects on symptom severity and patient satisfaction in patients with psychosis spectrum disorder. The ACT-specific treatment program for inpatients with psychosis spectrum disorder is designed to enable patients to deal with their disease in an accepting manner over the long term, to promote self-determined and positive attitudes toward treatment and support options, and thus to reduce rehospitalization rates.
People with limb loss receiving inpatient rehabilitation are at greater risk for depression and anxiety, social isolation, and generally have poorer quality of life. To proactively address the mental health needs of this population, St. John's Rehab recruited two psychiatrists to provide mental health support to their inpatient population groups. Because there are limits to mental health resources and because group therapy facilitates patients learning from each other, the investigators plan to test an innovative psychological group therapy program designed for limb loss inpatients to address mental health challenges, and to better prepare them to integrate back into the community. Our designed psychosocial group therapy is led by a psychiatrist and an occupational therapist who create a structured process for inpatients to discuss their challenges and identify coping strategies that will help them transition back into the community. The investigators will recruit 130 inpatients with limb loss, with 65 taking part in a weekly psychosocial group therapy program and 65 receiving treatment as usual. The investigators will evaluate if anxiety and depression significantly decreases in our treatment group compared to those who received treatment as usual. The findings of this work will provide needed evidence for the clinical feasibility and utility of a rehabilitation inpatient group therapy program, which can serve as a useful model for other limb loss sites across Canada.
