简要总结
This study evaluated the effects of psychoeducational psychotherapy (PEP) on neurocognitive functions, symptomatology, quality of life, and emotion regulation in euthymic adolescents with bipolar disorder (BD). Thirty-two adolescents with BD were randomized, with 16 receiving PEP. Assessments included the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, Stroop Test, Pediatric Quality-of-Life Inventory, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), Affective Reactivity Index, Young Mania Rating Scale, and Children's Depression Rating Scale.
详细描述
This study aimed to examine the impact of PEP on neurocognitive performance, symptom levels, quality of life, and emotion regulation among euthymic adolescents diagnosed with BD. A total of 32 adolescents meeting diagnostic criteria for BD were randomly assigned to either an intervention group (n = 16), which received PEP, or a control group receiving standard care. Participants were evaluated using a comprehensive assessment battery that included the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test and the Stroop Test to measure executive functioning; the Pediatric Quality-of-Life Inventory to assess well-being; the DERS and the Affective Reactivity Index for emotional functioning; and the Young Mania Rating Scale and Children's Depression Rating Scale to evaluate mood symptoms.

研究组 & 干预措施
Psychoeducational psychotherapy (PEP)
PEP is a structured, manualized, family-focused psychotherapy based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Participants were invited to participate in weekly parent and child sessions over a 12-week period. Each session lasted approximately 45-50 minutes, with a total of 24 sessions available throughout the trial. Parental involvement was incorporated into every PEP session, with parents joining for 5-10 minutes at the beginning of each child session to discuss the child's progress and for another 5-10 minutes at the end to review newly introduced material.
干预措施: Psychoeducational psychotherapy (PEP) (Behavioral)
Control
Control group who received routine treatment and care.
结局指标
主要结局
the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS)
时间窗: 12 weeks
The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) assesses emotion regulation (ER) problems in adolescents across six domains: goals, strategies, impulsivity, awareness, clarity, and non-acceptance. Higher scores reflect greater ER difficulties. The Turkish version demonstrated good reliability and validity.
