Abstract

Objective: This umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses evaluates the effectiveness of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) across various populations and settings.

Method: A total of 25 systematic reviews, including 15 meta-analyses, were analyzed. Reviews were included if they used systematic search methods and quality assessments and focused on the effectiveness of SFBT as a therapeutic approach.

Results: SFBT demonstrated significant positive outcomes across different issues, settings, and cultural contexts, with no evidence of harm. High confidence in evidence of effectiveness was established for depression, overall mental health, and progress towards individual goals for the adult population. In addition, findings indicated mainly moderate confidence in evidence of SFBT effectiveness for a wide variety of outcomes for all age groups. No difference was found in the confidence in the evidence by world region, though Western and Eastern studies researched some different aspects.

Conclusion: SFBT is an effective therapeutic approach for various psychological, social, school, medical, couple, or self-related issues. Further research with rigorous methodologies and comprehensive reporting is needed to strengthen the confidence in these findings and provide evidence for the brevity of the intervention.

以解决问题为重点的简短疗法的有效性：系统回顾和荟萃分析综述。

目的本综述对系统综述和荟萃分析进行了回顾，评估了焦点解决简易疗法（SFBT）在不同人群和环境中的有效性：方法：共分析了 25 篇系统综述，包括 15 篇荟萃分析。如果这些综述使用了系统的搜索方法和质量评估，并侧重于SFBT作为一种治疗方法的有效性，则会被纳入其中：在不同的问题、环境和文化背景下，SFBT 都取得了显著的积极效果，没有证据表明会造成伤害。在抑郁症、整体心理健康和实现成人个人目标的进展方面，有效性证据的可信度较高。此外，研究结果表明，对于所有年龄组的各种结果，SFBT 的有效性证据主要具有中等可信度。尽管西方和东方的研究对某些方面的研究有所不同，但在不同地区对证据的信心方面没有发现差异：结论：SFBT 是一种有效的治疗方法，适用于各种心理、社会、学校、医疗、夫妻或自我相关问题。要加强对这些研究结果的信心，并为干预措施的简短性提供证据，还需要采用严格的方法和全面的报告进行进一步的研究。
