Extensive psychological interventions primarily target the negative symptoms of depression and the deficits in positive resources have been systematically neglected. So far, little attention has been devoted to psychological capital (PsyCap) intervention from the perspective of developing positive resources. The aim of the present pilot study was to evaluate the efficacy of psychological capital intervention (PCI) for depression in a randomized controlled trial. A total of 56 patients were randomized to either care as usual (CAU) for normal medication or psychological capital intervention (PCI) group, where the normal medication was supplemented with the PCI. Participants were assessed at pre- and post-treatment, as well as 6-month follow-up, on measures of depressive symptoms and PsyCap. The PCI group displayed significantly larger improvements in PsyCap and larger reductions in depression symptoms from pre- to post treatment compared to control group. Improvements were sustained over the 6-month follow-up period. Targeting the positive resources intervention in the PCI may be effective against the treatment of depression.
广泛的心理干预主要针对抑郁症的消极症状，而积极资源方面的不足一直被系统地忽视。到目前为止，从开发积极资源的角度对心理资本干预的关注甚少。本试点研究的目的是在一项随机对照试验中评估心理资本干预（PCI）对抑郁症的疗效。总共56名患者被随机分为常规护理（CAU）组（进行常规药物治疗）或心理资本干预（PCI）组（在常规药物治疗基础上补充PCI）。在治疗前、治疗后以及6个月随访时，对参与者进行抑郁症状和心理资本的测量评估。与对照组相比，PCI组在治疗前后心理资本的改善显著更大，抑郁症状的减轻也更明显。这些改善在6个月的随访期内得以维持。PCI中针对积极资源的干预可能对抑郁症治疗有效。
