Body Awareness in People With Depressive Disorder

Research Questions:

* Primary Research Question What are the distribution properties of the body awareness assessed by the ABC? * Secondary Research Questions (exploratory)

1. Which factors (demographic, physical, psychological) correlate with body awareness? 2. Does body awareness and mood change during an inpatient stay? Method: Observational Study Participants: 125 patients with depressive disorders at the beginning and end of an inpatient stay.

Assessments via Questionnaires:

Completion of questionnaires (partially with assistance) within the first 7 days after admission:

* Demographic data and questions about health/relevant pre-existing conditions, including body weight and height, i.e. Body Mass Index * Awareness Body Chart (ABC) * Like/Dislike Body Chart (L/D-BC) * Self-Rating Mood Scale-Revised (Bf-SR) * Simple Physical Activity Questionnaire (SIMPAQ) * Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) * Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) * Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) * Insomnia Severity Index (ISI)

Pre-Discharge Questionnaire Completion:

* ABC * L/D-BC * Bf-SR * BDI-II * ISI

Statistical Analysis:

For the analysis of the primary outcome, the ABC score for the entire sample will be presented using the mean and standard deviation or median and interquartile range, depending on the distribution properties of the ABC score. For the analysis of secondary questions, the total scores of the ABC and factor scores will be compared between men and women, between patients with and without pain, using t-tests or Mann-Whitney U-tests, and between individuals with different categories of depressive disorders or varying severities of depression using ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis tests.

Furthermore, the correlation of body awareness with demographic data, body mass index, diagnosis group, disease duration, test results from SIMPAQ, SF-12, BSI, Bf-SR, and ISI will be investigated using correlation analyses, where the correlation coefficient will be calculated either using Pearson or Spearman, depending on the distribution of the data. Changes in body awareness and well-being during an inpatient stay will be analyzed using paired t-tests or Wilcoxon signed-rank tests.

Outlook:

The study serves as a basis for further research on body awareness in individuals with depressive disorders.
