Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of psychological intervention on the rehabilitation of depressive patients.Methods 183 depressive patients were randomly divided into study group (n=93) and control group (n=90). The study group was given systemic psychological intervention additional to routine medicine for 12 weeks and the control group was given only medication. The efficacy was measured by Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS).Results There is no significant difference in SDS, SAS and BPRS ratings between two groups before the intervention (P>0.05). The scores of anxiety-depression, lacking-activity, thinking-disturbance, SAS and SDS were significantly lower in the study group than in the control group 12 weeks after the intervention(P<0.05).
