Comparing Engage to PST for Late Life Depression (Engage)
Stepped, Reward-exposure Based Therapy vs. PST in Late Life Depression
연구 개요
상세 설명
Policy reports document that evidence-based psychotherapies are rarely employed and sustained in the community. Several causes of this science to service gap have been identified. One cause, specific to behavioral interventions, is the complexity of interventions and the competencies community clinicians must acquire and sustain over time in order to deliver them. A realistic solution is to streamline behavioral interventions and tailor them to the settings and therapist skill level available in the community. In response to this need, we have developed Engage, which: 1) is streamlined on the basis of concepts and findings on the neurobiology of depression; 2) consists of psychotherapeutic and ecosystem management components of known efficacy; 3) has distilled and simplified these components so as they can be accessible to most depressed older patients and taught to larger numbers of clinicians than available therapies, e.g., Problem Solving Therapy (PST); and 4) is personalized through a structured stepped approach focusing on "reward exposure". Problem Solving Therapy is an evidenced-based intervention shown to be effective in treating late-life depression.
Three hundred (150 per site) patient participants will be randomly assigned to receive 9 sessions of either Engage or PST. Forty-two clinician participants will be randomly assigned to receive training and certification in either Engage or PST. Once certified, clinicians will be assigned a patient participant and administer their assigned intervention.

활성 비교기: Problem Solving Therapy
Problem solving therapy is an evidence based psychotherapy for depression, with 30 years of research supporting its efficacy.
PST focuses on the patients themselves and helps them develop skills in identifying, prioritizing, and solving problems, and thereby creates a sense of empowerment.
|
PST is a behavioral intervention for depression that is delivered by trained therapists over a 9 week period.
It consists of a process to help patients understand and then solve the problems in their lives they feel is contributing to their depression.

실험적: Engage
Engage utilizes reward exposure consisting of the reintroduction of activities that patients once found rewarding and enjoyed, but have abandoned after they developed depression.
Engage uses basic problem solving through which patients learn how to form "action plans" for pursuing rewarding activities of their choice.
|
Engage is a weekly behavioral intervention that is delivered over a 9 week period of time by trained therapists.
The focus of Engage is to help patient reconnect with activities that they have lost interest in pursuing due to depression.
