Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of CBT and MMI on the quality of life and relief of psychological symptoms of patients with common mental disorders or problems attending primary health care centre.
Detailed Description
Design:
Clinical randomised non blinded controlled trial.
Setting:
The study was performed in an outpatient primary health care centre serving 36 000 inhabitants.
Participants:
Patients (n=278), aged 18-65 years, with common mental problems or disorders were referred to the study by the GPs and 245 were included in the study.
Interventions:
Participants were randomised to CAU or one of two group interventions in addition to CAU. These were: a) group cognitive behavioural based therapy (CBT) administered by psychologists once a week for 12 weeks, and b) group multimodal intervention (MMI) based on a protocol comprising a mix of existing group interventions and exercises borrowed from multiple techniques and therapeutic schools and administered by assistant nurses with brief training, including two sessions per week for 6 weeks.
Main outcome measures:
Primary outcome measure was the Mental Component Summary score of SF-36. Secondary outcome measures were perceived stress scale (PSS) and Self-Rating Scale for Affective Syndromes (CPRS-S-A)
