ABSTRACT

There are many studies showing a positive relationship between depression level and cognitive distortions in the literature. The study was carried out to determine the effects of cognitive behavioral therapy–based psychoeducation on cognitive distortions, negative automatic thoughts and dysfunctional attitudes of patients diagnosed with depression. This study was designed as a two-group pre-posttest study. The study sample composed of a total of 60 patients (30 patients in the treatment group and 30 patients in the control group) who met the eligibility criteria. The data have been collected by using The Personal Information Form, Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire, The Dysfunctional Attitude Scale and Interpersonal Cognitive Distortions Scale. Psychoeducation was provided in the form of individual training once a week in total of eight sessions. For the pretest, assumption and schemas that make people predispose to depression, dysfunctional attitudes and cognitive distortions in interpersonal relationships were seen frequently to be above average in all patients. It was determined that patients in the treatment group used significantly less dysfunctional attitudes and to had lower negative automatic thoughts and interpersonal cognitive distortions compared with patients in the control group in posttest (p < 0.05). Consequently, cognitive behavioral therapy–based psychoeducation has become considerably effective in decreasing the use of negative automatic thoughts, interpersonal cognitive distortions and dysfunctional attitudes in patients with depression. cognitive behavioral therapy–based psychoeducation should be thought of as a treatment component due to its effectiveness in nursing care of depressed patients.

摘要

文献中有许多研究表明抑郁水平与认知扭曲之间存在正相关关系。该研究旨在确定基于认知行为疗法的心理教育对被诊断患有抑郁症的患者的认知扭曲、消极自动思维和功能失调态度的影响。本研究被设计为两组前后测研究。研究样本由符合入组标准的共60例患者（治疗组30例，对照组30例）组成。这些数据是通过使用个人信息表、自动思维问卷、功能失调的态度量表和人际认知扭曲量表收集的。心理教育以每周一次的个人培训形式提供，共八堂课。对于使人们易患抑郁症、功能失调的态度和人际关系中的认知扭曲的预测试、假设和图式，在所有患者中经常被认为高于平均水平。在后测中，与对照组患者相比，治疗组患者使用的功能失调态度明显更少，消极自动思维和人际认知扭曲也更少。p < 0.05)。因此，基于认知行为疗法的心理教育在减少抑郁症患者使用消极自动思维、人际认知扭曲和功能失调态度方面已变得相当有效。基于认知行为疗法的心理教育应被视为治疗的组成部分，因为它对抑郁症患者的护理非常有效。
