研究概览
简要总结
It is common for Veterans with injuries, illnesses, or physical disabilities to experience depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), chronic pain, and other concerns. They may also have goals like becoming happier or better able to cope with challenges that life brings. The purpose of this research study is to learn whether Veterans like and benefit from a 5-week, group-based positive psychology program aimed at improving mental health, resilience, well-being, and quality of life. Participants will be asked to complete several assessments (surveys/interviews) over the course of the study that are not considered part of standard care. Additionally, participants will be asked to participate in a focus group at the end of the study to provide feedback about their experiences in the group.
详细描述
To participate in this study, Veterans must first be enrolled in the Resilience and Well-Being Program, a 5-week, group-based positive psychology program held at VA Puget Sound as part of standard care. After enrollment, Veterans may choose to enroll in this research study which evaluates the effectiveness of, and satisfaction with, the Resilience and Well-Being Program.
This research study includes two study visits at VA Puget Sound and three assessments over the phone.
