詳細な説明

Suicide is a critical public health problem that requires effective, evidence-based interventions. The investigators propose a pragmatic, multicenter, longitudinal, non-randomized clinical trial to compare the effectiveness of Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT) versus Treatment Usual (TAU) in reducing suicidality in adults. Three hundred participants (18-60 years old) with suicidal ideation or active suicidal behavior will be recruited and assigned to one of three groups: (a) MBT in a private setting, (b) MBT in a public setting, or (c) TAU in a public setting. All participants will receive 12 psychotherapy sessions, one per week.

The primary outcome variable will be suicidality. Secondary outcome variables include depressive (PHQ-9) and anxious (GAD-7) symptoms, reflective function (RFQ), protective factors (RFL), and impulsivity (UPPS-P). Measurements will be taken at baseline (T0), session 6 (T1), final session (T2), and at 3 months of follow-up (T3). Psychotherapy process variables will also be assessed in all sessions: therapeutic alliance (SAI), psychological distress (CORE-10), affective regulation (DERS-8), and sense of belonging and burden (INQ).

The analysis, guided by the intention-to-treat principle, will employ Bayesian regression models to evaluate the superiority of MBT over TAU and the non-inferiority of public MBT compared to private MBT. Trajectories of change will be explored using Hidden Markov Models to model the process variables.

実験的:MBT_Private
100 eligible applicants selected from a pool of responders to an open call who will be administered the MBT intervention by private practice mental health proffesionals.
This is evidence-based psychotherapy that helps people improve their ability to mentalize: understanding their own and others' mental states, including thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and intentions, and connecting them to behavior. MBT aims to improve self-reflection, emotional regulation, and the establishment of more stable and satisfying relationships, especially in people with borderline personality disorder (BPD) or complex trauma. The treatment consists of individual therapy and prioritizes an inquisitive, rather than interpretive, stance on the part of the therapist to encourage the patient to develop their own understanding. In the proposed study, a 12-session MBT protocol of 45-minute individual psychotherapy sessions will be used, with an intervention frequency of one session per week.

時間枠
Suicidality
時間枠:Time Frame: The investigators will administer outcome measures on day one (baseline), at week 6 (midpoint), at week 12 (end of treatment), and in a follow-up interview three months after the end of treatment.
Suicidality will be measured using the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS). The C-SSRS is a standardized and validated semi-structured clinical interview designed to accurately assess the presence, severity, and frequency of suicidal ideation and behavior. It evaluates four constructs: the severity of suicidal ideation, the intensity of suicidal ideation, the occurrence of suicidal behavior, and the lethality of suicidal behavior.
Time Frame: The investigators will administer outcome measures on day one (baseline), at week 6 (midpoint), at week 12 (end of treatment), and in a follow-up interview three months after the end of treatment.
Depressive symptomatology
時間枠:Time Frame: The investigators will administer outcome measures on day one (baseline), at week 6 (midpoint), at week 12 (end of treatment), and in a follow-up interview three months after the end of treatment.
Depressive symptomatology will be assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9, Kroenke, Spitzer & Williams, 2001). The PHQ-9 is a nine-item self-report questionnaire that assesses the presence and severity of depressive symptoms over the past two weeks, based on DSM diagnostic criteria. For each item, the person indicates how frequently they experience the indicated condition using a four-point Likert scale (0 = "Not at all" to 3 = "Almost every day"). The total score (range: 0-27) categorizes severity as: minimal (0-4), mild (5-9), moderate (10-14), moderately severe (15-19), and severe (20-27).
Time Frame: The investigators will administer outcome measures on day one (baseline), at week 6 (midpoint), at week 12 (end of treatment), and in a follow-up interview three months after the end of treatment.
Anxiety symptoms
時間枠:Time Frame: The investigators will administer outcome measures on day one (baseline), at week 6 (midpoint), at week 12 (end of treatment), and in a follow-up interview three months after the end of treatment.
The Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7; Spitzer, Kroenke, Williams & Löwe, 2006) will be used. The GAD-7 is a seven-item self-report questionnaire designed to assess the severity of generalized anxiety symptoms. For each item, the person must indicate how frequently they experience the indicated condition using a four-point Likert scale (0 = "Not at all" to 3 = "Almost every day"). The total score (range: 0-21) categorizes the intensity of symptoms as minimal anxiety (0-4), mild (5-9), moderate (10-14), and severe (15-21).
Time Frame: The investigators will administer outcome measures on day one (baseline), at week 6 (midpoint), at week 12 (end of treatment), and in a follow-up interview three months after the end of treatment.
Reflective function
時間枠:Time Frame: The investigators will administer outcome measures on day one (baseline), at week 6 (midpoint), at week 12 (end of treatment), and in a follow-up interview three months after the end of treatment.
The investigators will assess reflective function using the Reflective Functioning Questionnaire (RFQ; Fonagy et al., 2016). The investigators will use the eight-item abbreviated version (RFQ-8), which assesses an individual's ability to understand their own and others' behavior in terms of underlying mental states. Each item is rated by the participant on a seven-point Likert scale (1 = "Strongly disagree" to 7 = "Strongly agree"). The result includes two subscales that measure the degree of uncertainty (RFQ_U) and the degree of certainty (RFQ_C) about mental states. It also yields an overall score, where high values indicate uncertainty about mental states (hypomentalization) and low values indicate genuine mentalization.
Time Frame: The investigators will administer outcome measures on day one (baseline), at week 6 (midpoint), at week 12 (end of treatment), and in a follow-up interview three months after the end of treatment.
Protective factors against suicide
時間枠:Time Frame: The investigators will administer outcome measures on day one (baseline), at week 6 (midpoint), at week 12 (end of treatment), and in a follow-up interview three months after the end of treatment.
The investigators will assess factors that counteract suicidal vulnerability using the Reasons for Living Inventory (RFLI; Linehan et al., 1983). The RFLI is a self-report questionnaire consisting of 48 items that assess the importance of various reasons a person may have for choosing to remain alive. The items are organized into six subscales, including beliefs about coping; Concerns related to family responsibilities; concerns related to children; fear of suicide; fear of social disapproval and moral objections.
Time Frame: The investigators will administer outcome measures on day one (baseline), at week 6 (midpoint), at week 12 (end of treatment), and in a follow-up interview three months after the end of treatment.
Impulsive behavior
時間枠:Time Frame: The investigators will administer outcome measures on day one (baseline), at week 6 (midpoint), at week 12 (end of treatment), and in a follow-up interview three months after the end of treatment.
The investigators will assess impulsive behavior using the Urgency, Premeditation, Perseverance, Sensation Seeking, and Positive Urgency Brief Impulsivity Scale (UPPS-P; (Cándido Ortiz et al., 2012)). The UPPS-P is a self-report scale that assesses impulsivity as a multidimensional construct, including five dimensions: positive urgency, negative urgency, lack of premeditation, lack of perseverance, and sensation seeking. The scale contains 20 items answered on a four-point Likert scale.
Time Frame: The investigators will administer outcome measures on day one (baseline), at week 6 (midpoint), at week 12 (end of treatment), and in a follow-up interview three months after the end of treatment.
