Abstract

Psychoeducational groups for family members of patients with schizophrenia have proven to be effective. Borderline personality disorder (BPD) implies serious impairment in interpersonal relationships. Close relatives of individuals with BPD also show high levels of burden and need support. Psychoeducational groups could help to cope with the interactional problems in a relationship with a person with BPD. A manualised psychoeducational programme of 10 group sessions for close relatives of patients with BPD was tested. Measures administered at pretest and after 10 sessions were: perceived burden (IEQ-EU), knowledge about the disorder (WFB_BPS-A) and quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF). For formative evaluation, a “Group Therapy Session Questionnaire” (participant and therapist version; GTS-A, GTS-T) was used. A total of 33 persons in three groups took part. Pre-post evaluations revealed a significantly lower level of burden and a significantly better knowledge about the disorder after participating in the psychoeducational group. Reduction of burden correlated significantly with the assessment of patients’ symptom severity and carers' level of burden at study entry. There was no change in the quality of life. The participants and therapists generally rated the psychoeducational sessions very positively. The highest ratings were found in the sessions about communication skills and coping with crises. Findings indicate that the psychoeducational programme is well accepted and supportive for persons with close relationships to patients with BPD.

Bei seelischem Stress sind Checkpoint-Hemmer weniger wirksam

03.06.2024 NSCLC Nachrichten

Wie stark Menschen mit fortgeschrittenem NSCLC von einer Therapie mit Immun-Checkpoint-Hemmern profitieren, hängt offenbar auch davon ab, wie sehr die Diagnose ihre psychische Verfassung erschüttert

Demenzkranke durch Antipsychotika vielfach gefährdet

Demenz Nachrichten

Der Einsatz von Antipsychotika gegen psychische und Verhaltenssymptome in Zusammenhang mit Demenzerkrankungen erfordert eine sorgfältige Nutzen-Risiken-Abwägung. Neuen Erkenntnissen zufolge sind auf der Risikoseite weitere schwerwiegende Ereignisse zu berücksichtigen.

Hörschwäche erhöht Demenzrisiko unabhängig von Beta-Amyloid

29.05.2024 Hörstörungen Nachrichten

Hört jemand im Alter schlecht, nimmt das Hirn- und Hippocampusvolumen besonders schnell ab, was auch mit einem beschleunigten kognitiven Abbau einhergeht. Und diese Prozesse scheinen sich unabhängig von der Amyloidablagerung zu ereignen.

So wirken verschiedene Alkoholika auf den Blutdruck
