The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a school-based intervention program for middle school adolescent girls with depression.
The study was a pretest-posttest repeated-measure design with a nonequivalent control group. Fifty eight students with depressive symptoms were recruited from two middle schools in Seoul, Korea. The data were collected from the intervention (n=30) and the comparison group (n=28). The research instrument was Reynolds Adolescent Depression Scale.
The intervention group greatly improved from baseline to 10 weeks and then saw a slight positive change between 10 and 13 weeks.
The results of this research show that depression intervention programs are effective for young female adolescents. Thus the investigation has important school-based treatment implications, and should be integrated into school curricula by school health nurses for early intervention of depressive symptoms in middle school adolescent girls.
本研究旨在评估一项针对患有抑郁症的初中青春期女孩的校本干预项目的效果。
该研究采用前测-后测重复测量设计,设有非对等对照组。从韩国首尔的两所中学招募了58名有抑郁症状的学生。数据收集自干预组(n = 30)和对照组(n = 28)。研究工具为雷诺兹青少年抑郁量表。
干预组从基线到10周有显著改善,然后在10至13周之间有轻微的正向变化。
本研究结果表明,抑郁症干预项目对年轻女性青少年有效。因此,该调查具有重要的校本治疗意义,学校健康护士应将其纳入学校课程,以便对初中青春期女孩的抑郁症状进行早期干预。
