Character Strengths Intervention Among Psychiatrically Hospitalized Youth
Assessment of a Character Strengths Intervention in Improving Treatment Outcomes Among Psychiatrically Hospitalized Youth
연구 개요
상태
상세 설명
The primary aim of this study is to investigate whether a character strengths-based intervention results in significant improvements in measures of depression, anxiety, resiliency, optimism, self-perception, and life-satisfaction of psychiatrically hospitalized youth up to three months following admission. Secondary aims are to: (1) examine participants' strengths profile to identify potential correlates between character strengths, psychiatric diagnoses and intervention effectiveness; and (2) determine whether patients who continue to incorporate their strengths into coping skills at follow-up assessments exhibit greater improvement over-time.
Participants will be 210 adolescents aged 12 to 17 years admitted to the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Inpatient Program and will be randomized into one of the three groups. All participants will complete the Values in Action Inventory of Strengths for Youth (VIA-Youth) Survey on their second hospital day and subsequently receive the signature strengths intervention (experimental group), coping skills with memory aids comparison exercise (positive control group), or coping skills without memory aids (treatment-as-usual control group). Outcome measures will be completed by all participants at baseline (day 1 on unit), post-treatment (day 4 on unit), and 1- and 3-months following admission. The proposed research represents a change in paradigm, as we aim to specifically examine the therapeutic benefit of the positive psychology element of our intervention conducted in the pilot study among youth with severe mental illness.

실험적: Signature Strengths
Patients will complete the Values in Action Youth Survey (VIA-Youth) and will receive a list of his/her top character strengths ("signature strengths").
The patient will then participate in the Identifying and Using Signature Strengths Intervention.
|
The purpose of the intervention is to identify and focus on one's morally valued strengths and utilize them (i.e.
incorporate them into coping skills) to overcome challenges.
The study team member and patient will discuss each top strength and ways to use them as coping skills.
The patient will identify 2-4 coping mechanisms per strength, and will write his/her strengths and self-identified coping skills on index cards.
|
|
활성 비교기: Coping Skills + Memory Aid
Patients will complete the VIA-Youth but will not receive any results.
The patient will then participate in the Identifying and Writing Down Coping Skills Intervention.
|
The study team member and patient will discuss the importance of having coping skills to deal with stressful and difficult situations.
The patient will then identify at least six coping skills and write them down on index cards.
|
|
다른: Coping Skills (Treatment as Usual)
Patients will complete the VIA-Youth but will not receive any results.
After completing the VIA-Youth, the study team member and patient will have a treatment-as-usual discussion about coping skills.
(This is equivalent to treatment as usual that is already provided on the psychiatric unit-doctors and nurses on the unit already have this a discussion about coping skills with patients).
|
The study team member and patient will discuss the importance of having coping skills to deal with stressful and difficult situations.
The patient will then identify coping skills that could be helpful (but will not write them down).
