Abstract
Long-term unemployment can affect life satisfaction, reduce well-being and increase mental health problems. Promoting psychological resilience to support the ability to cope with life challenges such as unemployment, may be a useful strategy. A specific program named AD-Ré was designed for Long-Term Unemployed (LTU) people in order to improve their mental health by fostering psychological resilience. A randomized control trial design was used. A total of 160 LTU people, recruited from the French National Employment Service, were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n = 89) or the control group (n = 71). The experimental condition consisted in following the usual counseling protocol and participating in the assisted resilience program AD-Ré while the control condition consisted in following the usual counseling protocol only. Resilience and mental-health outcomes were measured at baseline (T1) and following the last session of the program (T2). The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics, repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t-test. ANOVA showed a significant crossed effect between time and group on resilience, well-being, and emotional dysregulation measures (p < .05) and a trend effect on perceived stress and optimism measures (p < 10). The intervention had a significant effect on resilience (d = 0.62), well-being (d = 0.37) and emotional dysregulation (d = 0.32) and a trend effect on perceived stress measures (d = 0.26). For the first time in France, an assisted resilience program significantly improved psychological resilience among LTU compared to an usual counseling protocol.
期刊介绍：
Psychology, Health & Medicine is a multidisciplinary journal highlighting human factors in health. The journal provides a peer reviewed forum to report on issues of psychology and health in practice. This key publication reaches an international audience, highlighting the variation and similarities within different settings and exploring multiple health and illness issues from theoretical, practical and management perspectives. It provides a critical forum to examine the wide range of applied health and illness issues and how they incorporate psychological knowledge, understanding, theory and intervention. The journal reflects the growing recognition of psychosocial issues as they affect health planning, medical care, disease reaction, intervention, quality of life, adjustment adaptation and management.
For many years theoretical research was very distant from applied understanding. The emerging movement in health psychology, changes in medical care provision and training, and consumer awareness of health issues all contribute to a growing need for applied research. This journal focuses on practical applications of theory, research and experience and provides a bridge between academic knowledge, illness experience, wellbeing and health care practice.
