Spouses of patients with depression have an elevated risk to develop an affective disorder themselves. We evaluate whether a group intervention program for spouses of patients with depression does improve participants' depressive and anxiety symptoms.
66 spouses participated in a six months intervention with 12 group sessions. 50 nonparticipants were included as a control group. We measured depressive and anxiety symptoms with the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) at the beginning and the end as well as 3 and 9 months after the intervention.
The intervention did not cause any improvement with regard to BDI and BAI scores. Scores in the BDI and BAI were normal in most participants before the intervention. Regardless, satisfaction with the program among participants was very high.
The influence of the intervention concept on the wanting participation of more severely affected spouses is discussed and adaptations of the program are proposed.
抑郁症患者的配偶自身患情感障碍的风险较高。我们评估针对抑郁症患者配偶的团体干预项目是否能改善参与者的抑郁和焦虑症状。
66名配偶参加了为期6个月、共12次团体会议的干预。50名未参与者被纳入对照组。我们在干预开始时、结束时以及干预后3个月和9个月,使用贝克抑郁量表(BDI)和贝克焦虑量表(BAI)测量抑郁和焦虑症状。
干预在BDI和BAI评分方面未带来任何改善。干预前大多数参与者的BDI和BAI评分正常。尽管如此,参与者对该项目的满意度非常高。
讨论了干预概念对受影响更严重的配偶参与意愿的影响,并提出了项目的调整建议。
