Official title
Effectiveness of the SKILLS Program in the Management of Psychiatric Disorders: a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
Overview
Epidemiological studies show that one person in eight suffers from at least one psychiatric disorder. Mental health is therefore a major public health issue, and care for these disorders must continue to be improved. The management of mental disorders has long followed the traditional categorical approach of developing a treatment for a given disorder. However, researchers have recently pointed out the limits of this approach in the field of mental health. They highlight the large number of co-morbidities, the existence of aspecific disorders and the intra-diagnostic heterogeneity of patients. These factors have led them to develop a transdiagnostic approach, which focuses on the mechanisms common to the various disorders in order to treat them at the same time and thus reduce the cost of treatment.
Interventions
- Other Psychotherapy
The experimental group will receive the SKILLS program, i.e. 10 group psychotherapy sessions.
Primary outcome measures
- Evolution in Symptom Checklist Scale (SCL 90) scores between randomization and Month 3 [Time frame: At the randomisation and Month 3]
Secondary outcome measures (5)
- Evolution of Transdiagnostic Skills Scale (T2S) score [Time frame: At randomisation, Month 3 and Month 6]
- Evolution of Symptomatic Transdiagnostic Test (S2T) score [Time frame: At randomisation, Month 3 and Month 6]
- Evolution of Hosptital Anxiety Depression Scalre (HADS) score [Time frame: At randomisation, Month 3 and Month 6]
- Evolution of Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) score [Time frame: At randomisation, Month 3 and Month 6]
- Cumulative quantity of psychotropic treatment taken by patients (in mg) [Time frame: At randomisation, Month 3 and Month 6]
