Schizophrenia Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Novel Use of Participatory Video as a Recovery-Oriented Intervention in Early Psychosis: A Pilot Study
Prior research has shown that people with psychotic illnesses, like schizophrenia, who make
sense of and meaningfully integrate their psychotic experiences into their life story are
more likely to recover from their illness. This process of developing a coherent narrative
seems especially relevant for young people who are experiencing their first episode of
psychosis. There is a need for interventions that can help facilitate the formation of
recovery-oriented narratives, particularly in the early stage of illness. Participatory video
is a group process that involves the facilitated creation of short documentary-style videos
in which individuals are supported to reflect on and tell their personal stories. Although it
has been used to foster self-identity, self-empowerment and "give voice" to a variety of
marginalized and stigmatized populations, its use and evaluation as a clinical intervention
has been limited.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the novel use of participatory video
facilitate narrative development and promote recovery for individuals with early psychosis is
an effective, feasible, and acceptable means of treating youth in the early stages of
psychotic illnesses. Although the current study is hypothesis generating in nature, the
investigators are expecting that participating in the Participatory Video intervention will
result in improvements in narrative development, symptoms, self-perceived recovery,
self-esteem, self-stigma, social functioning and hope. Additionally, the investigators expect
that Participatory Video intervention will prove to be acceptable to participants and a
feasible intervention for early psychotic disorders.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a novel 12-session Participatory Video
intervention, is an effective, feasible, and acceptable means of treating people in the early
stages of psychotic illnesses.
We intend to randomly assign 20 patients being treated for psychotic illnesses in an early
intervention program to a Participatory Video intervention group or treatment as usual group
(control). Participants who are randomly assigned to the Participatory Video intervention
will take part in 12 expert-facilitated group-based workshops over a period of 6 months, in
which they will learn how to develop, film and produce a documentary-style video of their
experiences with psychosis. At the end of the 12 workshops participants will have worked
together to produce a group documentary video about their experiences with psychosis and,
should they wish, individual videos about their own personal experiences with psychosis.
Participants in the Participatory Video intervention group will receive the intervention in
addition to any treatment they would usually receive through the early psychosis program.
Those assigned to the treatment as usual group will continue to receive the standard care
available to them in the early psychosis program.
Participants will be evaluated at baseline, at 6-months (immediately post-intervention) and
at 9 months (3 months post-intervention) on a number measures. Participatory Video
intervention acceptability will be assessed through the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire and
qualitative interviews, feasibility will be assessed through recruitment, consent and
completion rates, and efficacy will be assessed on measures of symptoms, functioning,
subjective recovery, metacognitive capacity and narrative development.
