两个干预措施,旨在防止生活在西澳大利亚州农村社区的妇女抑郁症状进行了评估,对无干预控制条件。标准干预基于传统的抑郁症认知行为治疗;实验干预基于抑郁症习得性无助模型的预防策略(例如Peterson,Maier和Seligman,1993)。76名妇女被随机分配到标准组或实验组,另外20名妇女组成无干预对照组。标准组在测试后抑郁症状有所减轻,但在6周或6个月的随访中没有效果。相比之下,抑郁症状的减少并没有出现在实验组,直到6周的随访,在这个时候,一个不那么抑郁的归因方式也很明显,这些效果在6个月的随访更加明显。无干预对照组在不同时间没有变化。有人认为,这些结果支持预防策略的适用性,基于习得性无助模型,这一人群。版权所有(C)2003约翰威利父子有限公司。
Two interventions aimed at preventing depressive symptoms in women living in Western Australian rural communities were evaluated against a no-intervention control condition. The standard intervention was based upon traditional cognitive-behaviour treatments for depression; the experimental intervention was based upon prevention strategies derived from the learned helplessness model of depression (e.g. Peterson, Maier, & Seligman, 1993). Seventy-six women were randomly assigned to either the standard or the experimental group, and a further 20 women formed a no-intervention control group. The standard group showed a reduction in depressive symptoms at post-test, but no effects at 6-week or 6-month follow-ups. In contrast, a reduction in depressive symptoms did not appear for the experimental group until the 6-week follow-up at which time a less depressive attributional style was also evident; these effects were even more pronounced at the 6-month follow-up. The no-intervention control group showed no changes across time. It is argued that these results support the applicability of prevention strategies based on the learned helplessness model to this population. Copyright (C) 2003 John Wiley Sons, Ltd.
