Abstract
Adolescents and young adults are increasingly susceptible to developing mental health conditions, but many young people do not respond well to the current evidence-based treatments. Schema therapy has been effective in adults with mental health conditions, and research suggests it holds promise in adolescents with chronic or treatment-resistant mental health conditions. Our systematic review searched for articles that applied schema therapy in people aged between 12 and 30. Databases searched using the EBSCOHost platform included PubMed MEDLINE, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Psychology and Behavioural Sciences Collection and American Psychological Association PsychInfo. Web of Science and the Cochrane Library was also searched. The quality of each article was assessed using the Mixed Method Appraisal Tool. Twelve studies including 180 participants were found meeting these criteria. These results provided preliminary support for the use of schema therapy in adolescents and young adults experiencing a wide range of mental health conditions including personality, conduct, anxiety, depressive or eating disorders. Our systematic review supports previous research on schema therapy, finding that it could be a promising treatment for young people. The present systematic review identifies directions for future research and provides guidance for clinicians providing schema therapy in this population.
青少年和年轻人越来越容易出现心理健康状况,但许多年轻人对目前的循证治疗反应不佳。图式疗法对患有精神疾病的成年人有效,研究表明,它对患有慢性或治疗难治性精神疾病的青少年也有希望。我们的系统综述检索了在12至30岁人群中应用图式疗法的文章。使用EBSCOHost平台检索的数据库包括PubMed MEDLINE、护理及相关健康文献累积索引、心理学与行为科学合集和美国心理学会PsychInfo。Web of Science和Cochrane Library也被搜索过。每篇文章的质量使用混合方法评估工具进行评估。包括180名参与者的12项研究符合这些标准。这些结果为图式疗法在经历各种心理健康状况(包括人格、行为、焦虑、抑郁或饮食失调)的青少年和年轻人中的应用提供了初步支持。我们的系统综述支持先前关于图式疗法的研究,发现它对年轻人来说可能是一种很有前途的治疗方法。本系统综述确定了未来研究的方向,并为临床医生在这一人群中提供图式治疗提供了指导。
