Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) group for left-behind older parents with depression. Method: Using a quasi-experimental research design with a three-arm study, participants with depression ( n = 17) and participants without depression ( n = 13) received the same eight-session CBT group covering the skills of acceptance and commitment therapy in addition to treatment-as-usual (TAU), that is, interest classes and leisure activities, while the control group ( n = 5) received TAU. Results: 3 (group) × 2 (time) repeated measures of ANOVA showed that the CBT group for left-behind older adults with depression, as compared with the control group, showed a significantly greater improvement in depression (Cohen's d = 1.0), stress (Cohen's d = 1.1) and subjective well-being (Cohen's d = 0.7). Conclusion: The study results support the feasibility and efficacy of the CBT group for left-behind older adults with depression.

目的：探讨认知行为疗法（CBT）治疗高龄留守父母抑郁症的可行性及疗效。方法：采用准实验研究设计，采用三组研究，抑郁症患者（n = 17）和非抑郁症患者（n = 13）接受相同的8期CBT治疗，包括接受和承诺治疗的技能，以及照常治疗（TAU），即兴趣班和休闲活动，对照组（n = 5）接受TAU。结果：3（组）× 2（时间）重复方差分析显示，CBT组对留守老年抑郁症患者的抑郁（Cohen’s d = 1.0）、应激（Cohen’s d = 1.1）和主观幸福感（Cohen’s d = 0.7）的改善显著高于对照组。结论：本研究结果支持CBT组治疗留守老年人抑郁症的可行性和有效性。

期刊介绍： Research on Social Work Practice, sponsored by the Society for Social Work and Research, is a disciplinary journal devoted to the publication of empirical research concerning the methods and outcomes of social work practice. Social work practice is broadly interpreted to refer to the application of intentionally designed social work intervention programs to problems of societal and/or interpersonal importance, including behavior analysis or psychotherapy involving individuals; case management; practice involving couples, families, and small groups; community practice education; and the development, implementation, and evaluation of social policies.
