The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of depression in a day treatment compared to a control population of children and to determine whether or not day treatment is effective in normalizing depression and hopelessness. Twenty-five control children, matched by age and sex, were compared on self-report measures of depression and hopelessness to 25 children admitted to day treatment. Pre-post treatment comparisons were also made for day treatment children. Day treatment children at admission scored significantly higher on both depression and hopelessness than control children. Only boys in day treatment improved significantly at the time of their discharge. Children with disruptive behaviour disorders also experienced significant feelings of depression and hopelessness. Day treatment was effective in reducing these feelings to "normal" levels in boys only; girls continued to experience severe negative life events beyond their control.
本研究的目的是调查日间治疗儿童与对照儿童群体中抑郁症的患病率，并确定日间治疗在使抑郁症和绝望情绪恢复正常方面是否有效。将25名按年龄和性别匹配的对照儿童在抑郁症和绝望情绪的自我报告测量方面与25名接受日间治疗的儿童进行比较。还对接受日间治疗的儿童进行了治疗前后的比较。接受日间治疗的儿童入院时在抑郁症和绝望情绪方面的得分显著高于对照儿童。只有接受日间治疗的男孩在出院时显著改善。患有破坏性行为障碍的儿童也有明显的抑郁和绝望情绪。日间治疗仅对男孩有效，可将这些情绪降低到“正常”水平；女孩继续经历超出其控制范围的严重负面生活事件。
