“…Patients in mental health care are particularly encouraged to focus on treatment issues that might affect their lifestyle and preferences. They are more concerned about illness than other patients, but nevertheless take fewer precautions [29]. SDMI provides patients with information about their health status and treatment options, and in that way may motivate patients for treatment.…”

Background: In the last decades, shared decision-making (SDM) models have been developed to increase patient involvement in treatment decisions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a SDM intervention (SDMI) for patients dependent on psychoactive substances in addiction health care programs. The intervention consisted of a structured procedure to reach a treatment agreement and comprised 5 sessions. Methods: Clinicians in 3 treatment centres in the Netherlands were randomly assigned to the SDMI or a standard procedure to reach a treatment agreement. Results: A total of 220 substance-dependent patients receiving inpatient treatment were randomised either to the intervention (n = 111) or control (n = 109) conditions. Reductions in primary substance use (F_{(1, 124)} = 248.38, p < 0.01) and addiction severity (F₍₈₎ = 27.76, p < 0.01) were found in the total population. Significant change was found in the total population regarding patients’ quality of life measured at baseline, exit and follow-up (F_{(2, 146)} = 5.66, p < 0.01). On the European Addiction Severity Index, SDMI showed significantly better improvements than standard decision-making regarding drug use (F_{(1, 164)} = 7.40, p < 0.01) and psychiatric problems (F_{(1, 164)} = 5.91, p = 0.02) at 3-month follow-up. Conclusion: SDMI showed a significant add-on effect on top of a well-established 3-month inpatient intervention. SDMI offers an effective, structured, frequent and well-balanced intervention to carry out and evaluate a treatment agreement.

“…Egy átfogó holland vizsgálatban (Speckens és mtsai, 1996) mindössze 2 jól elkülönít-hetô alskálát (egészségszorongás; betegviselkedés), míg egy újabb német kutatásban (Welch és mtsai, 2009) három alskálát (egészségszorongás;egészség-viselkedés;egészségi szokások) azonosítottak. Összességében a mérôeszköz jó diszkrimináns validitással és teszt-reteszt reliabilitással bír, ezért a klinikumban széles körben használják (Sirri, Grandi, & Fava, 2008;Weck, Bleichhardt, & Hiller, 2010).…”

Elméleti háttér és célkitûzés: Jelen kutatás célja a Rövidített Egészségszorongás-kérdôív (ShortEredmények: A megerôsítô faktorelemzés mind a két-, mind a háromfaktoros verzió esetében jó illeszkedési mutatókat eredményezett, ezért az irodalomban inkább elfogadott két alskálás (Beteggé válás észlelt valószínûsége; Betegség észlelt következménye) megoldás használatát javasoljuk. A kérdôív magyar verziója jó belsô konzisztenciával (Cronbach-alfa = 0,83) bírt, a STAI-T, az SSAS és a PHQ-15 skálákkal közepes erôsségû (Pearson-r: 0,33-0,44; p<0,001) korrelációt mutatott, míg a WBI-5 esetében az együttjárás gyengébbnek és negatív irányúnak mutatkozott (-0,26; p<0,001).Következtetések: Az eredmények alapján a kérdôív pszichometriai szempontból megfelelônek tûnik, ugyanakkor a végsô értékeléshez a vizsgálatot érdemes volna más mintákon is megismételni.

“…Fears and concerns of medical patients are, mostly, realistic, although they might be exaggerated beyond the actual threat. As such, they differ from typical psychopathological fears [12]. Many of these fears arise from common adaptive tasks that medical patients are facing [13,14,15].…”

Background: This study investigated the effectiveness of brief psychotherapeutic group interventions in reducing dysfunctional fear of disease progression (FoP). The interventions comprised either cognitive-behavioral group therapy or supportive-experiential group therapy. We tested whether these generic interventions would prove effective in different illness types. Methods: Chronic arthritis in- patients (n = 174) and cancer in-patients (n = 174), respectively, were randomized to receive one of the two interventions. The patients provided data before intervention, at discharge, and at 3 and 12 months of follow-up. FoP was the primary outcome, secondary outcomes were anxiety, depression and quality of life. A treatment-as-usual control group provided data on the primary outcome. Results: Patients with chronic arthritis indicated higher levels of FoP than cancer patients. The results revealed that, compared with no specialized intervention, both group therapies were effective in reducing dysfunctional FoP, but only among cancer patients. The effect sizes were 0.54 (cognitive-behavioral therapy) and 0.50 (supportive experiential therapy). The interventions were not differently effective in reducing the secondary outcomes. Conclusions: Dysfunctional FoP can be effectively targeted with brief group interventions. Psychotherapeutic interventions for reducing FoP should focus on specific illness characteristics.
