The effectiveness among inpatients with depression of a modified cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) program was examined. A group of 300 inpatient admissions with a primary diagnosis of depression attending a private psychiatric clinic were assessed at the beginning and end of a two-week CBT program. The effectiveness of the treatment was demonstrated by improvements on the Beck depression inventory (BDI), the health of the nation outcome scales, locus of control of behaviour scale, and the global assessment of function. The changes on the BDI for patients with depression were benchmarked against estimates generated from published studies. The degree of change in a two-week period for inpatients with depression was similar to that observed in efficacy studies of CBT that typically run over a more extended time. Implications for integrating CBT with inpatient services are discussed.
研究了改良认知行为疗法（CBT）方案对住院抑郁症患者的有效性。对一家私立精神病诊所收治的300名初步诊断为抑郁症的住院患者，在为期两周的CBT方案开始和结束时进行了评估。治疗的有效性通过贝克抑郁量表（BDI）、国民健康结果量表、行为控制源量表和功能总体评估的改善得以证明。抑郁症患者BDI的变化与已发表研究得出的估计值进行了对比。抑郁症住院患者在两周内的变化程度与通常在更长时间内进行的CBT疗效研究中观察到的相似。文中还讨论了将CBT与住院服务相结合的意义。
