简要总结
At the Psychiatric Hospital, there are limited mental health professionals to offer the standard of care that is expected at a psychiatric institution. Psychotherapy is most affected. However, there are mental health professionals in training and long waiting times before clients are seen, which provides an opportunity for an intervention to be carried out. The purpose of the study therefore, is to determine whether a group psychological intervention can primarily reduce self-stigma among outpatients at the Psychiatric Hospital. The intervention's effects on self-efficacy and quality of life will also be assessed.
详细描述
Study population: outpatients in the Outpatient Department at The Psychiatric Hospital
Target population: clients with two-weekly appointments
Procedures for recruitment and consent
Participants will be chosen using available lists of persons who come to clinic on a two-weekly basis on four(4) days of the week (every day except the day the Principal Investigator is responsible for conducting clinic), for two consecutive weeks. Twenty-six will be chosen each day (for eight (8) days) and randomized to intervention and treatment-as-usual (Thirteen (13) persons to each group). Participants will be selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria and consent will be obtained.
Randomization will be carried out by Stata 14
