研究概览
简要总结
The current research is being undertaken as part of a professional doctorate in clinical psychology, which aims to evaluate the feasibility of a group programme to address self-harm within 23 days, to provide evidence for a controlled trial. The intervention will include four group sessions conducted over 2 weeks, based on Dialectical Behavioural Therapy. Specifically the aims are to determine 1) means and a standard deviation for two pre and post treatment outcome measures in order to estimate sample size for the main study, 2) the need for an inpatient intervention for self-harm measured by number of participants eligible and accepting of the treatment, 3) retention of participants for 4 groups given the predicted short stays of patients on wards, and 4) the acceptability of the research process for this client group through feedback.

研究组 & 干预措施
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) skills group
Four group sessions, based on DBT, over two weeks, with a group of four to eight participants in attendance located on the hospital ward where the participant is a patient.

结局指标
主要结局
The Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS)
时间窗: 23 days
The DTS consists of 15 items, which measure a person's appraisal of their emotional distress, their ability to tolerate this distress and any regulation efforts to alleviate it. It will be administered pre- and post-intervention.
The Inventory of Statements About Self-Injury (ISAS)
时间窗: 23 days
ISAS is a self-report measure designed to assess the function and frequency of deliberate self-harm. It will be administered pre- and post-intervention.
