Cognitive Behavioural Intervention

Low self-esteem in psychosis is common and has been found to be significantly related to a number of clinical variables and to symptom severity. This report describes the follow-up evaluation of a simple time-limited cognitive behavioural intervention aimed to improve feelings of low self-worth in the treatment of psychotic symptoms. A previous small scale pilot project found encouraging results for the efficacy of the novel intervention following its delivery and at 3-month follow-up. This report examines the benefits of the technique at 12 months following delivery of the intervention. These preliminary results suggest that the intervention may promote improved levels of self-esteem, psychotic symptomatology and social functioning over the longer term. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.

Inpatient Population

Low self-esteem is a common characteristic amongst populations with schizophrenia and co-morbid substance abuse (dual diagnosis) and has been linked to increased psychopathology, substance abuse and lower social functioning. The following study built upon the promising results of Hall and Tarrier (2003) and examined the feasibility and clinical utility of a cognitive behavioural intervention for low self-esteem within a population of dual diagnosis inpatients. A small sample of dual diagnosis inpatients (N = 23) were screened during a one-month wait list period to ensure stability in presentation of low self-esteem, psychopathology and substance abuse before commencing a brief eight-session intervention for low self-esteem. Results collected post intervention showed participants displayed significant increases in levels of self-esteem and corresponding significant decreases in depressive symptoms and psychopathology associated with schizophrenia. These improvements were maintained at 3-month follow-up. Outcomes were examined in terms of identifying and implementing beneficial treatments for dual diagnosis populations within everyday psychiatric settings, a population often considered one of the most challenging to treat.

Cognitive Behavioural Intervention

Psychological adjustment is thought to play an important role in determining pain experience, disease status, and immune function in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Fourteen female RA out-patients were tested longitudinally in a matched-random assigned two-groups design with cognitive-behavioural intervention designed to improve pain and stress management skills. Pre-intervention correlational analyses tested the extent to which mood disturbance, self-perceptions of coping efficacy, health locus of control, and stressful life experience were related to pain, disease activity, functional status and lymphocyte proliferation rate variables. Intra- and inter-group analyses were conducted to determine treatment effects, and case studies were conducted. RA was characterized more by poor psychological health status than physical disability, with pain more a function of psychological adjustment than actual disease status. No significant treatment effects were observed. Case studies indicated the complex nature of the individual disease experience. The value of cognitive-behavioural intervention in RA, and implications for future-related research are discussed in terms of such findings.

Physical Activity Maintenance

Objectives Physical activity is recommended for managing chronic health conditions but is rarely maintained. This feasibility study aimed to evaluate the preliminary efficacy of a motivational interviewing and cognitive-behavioural intervention for long-term physical activity for adults with chronic health conditions. Methods Participants ( N = 37) with stable conditions (e.g. diabetes) were randomized into a three-month motivational interviewing and cognitive-behavioural group ( N = 20) or usual care ( N = 17) after completing a physical activity referral scheme. Participants completed physical activity (e.g. average steps per day and kilocalorie expenditure), psychological (e.g. self-efficacy) and epidemiological (e.g. body mass index) standardized measures at baseline, three- and six-month follow-up. Treatment fidelity and feasibility were assessed. Results Thirty-five participants completed the study (96% retention). The motivational interviewing and cognitive-behavioural group maintained kilocalorie expenditure at three ( p = 0.009) and six months ( p = 0.009). Exercise barrier self-efficacy ( p = 0.03), physical ( p = 0.02) and psychological ( p = 0.01) physical activity experiences were increased at three months only. No difference was found for average steps/day, social support, coping skills and epidemiological factors. Discussion This is the first study to demonstrate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of motivational interviewing and cognitive-behavioural interventions for promoting physical activity maintenance in a clinical population. A large-scale trial with a longer follow-up (≥6 months) is warranted with treatment fidelity assessment.
