Abstract

Objective: Psychiatric disorders have been linked to poor social functioning, including deficits in relationship satisfaction. Treatments have shown strong effectiveness in reducing clinical symptoms for a range of disorders, though less is known of the effects disorder-focused treatments have on relationship satisfaction.

Methods: The present study describes a systematic review that was conducted to determine the efficacy of treatments for specific psychiatric disorders in improving relationship satisfaction. Surprisingly, only seventeen studies were identified and included in the review.

Results: We found that a majority of these studies reported modest improvement in relationship satisfaction among people who completed treatment. However, studies were severely hampered by methodological limitations, and all therapy-related improvements could be attributable to placebo effects or the passage of time.

Conclusion: Important gaps in the literature were found that future research should seek to address to maximize treatment outcomes and psychosocial functioning.

精神障碍治疗会影响人际关系满意度吗？系统回顾和荟萃分析。

目的：精神障碍与社会功能低下有关，包括人际关系满意度方面的缺陷。针对一系列精神障碍的治疗在减轻临床症状方面显示出很强的有效性，但人们对以精神障碍为重点的治疗对人际关系满意度的影响却知之甚少：本研究介绍了一项系统性综述，该综述旨在确定针对特定精神障碍的治疗方法在提高人际关系满意度方面的疗效。出乎意料的是，只有 17 项研究被确定并纳入综述：结果：我们发现，这些研究中的大多数报告称，完成治疗的患者在人际关系满意度方面略有改善。然而，这些研究在方法上存在严重的局限性，所有与治疗相关的改善都可能归因于安慰剂效应或时间的流逝：结论：我们发现文献中存在一些重要的空白，未来的研究应设法弥补这些空白，以最大限度地提高治疗效果和社会心理功能。
