Brief Summary:
Research has shown that identifying and using ones character strengths in new ways decreases depressive symptoms and increases happiness in adults in the general population Recently we found that a similar intervention increases the self-esteem and self-efficacy of children and adolescents being treated in an inpatient psychiatric unit The purpose of this study is to better understand the effects that discovering ones character strengths and incorporating them into coping skills will have on treatment outcomes in patients admitted to a child and adolescent inpatient psychiatric unit
Detailed Description:
The primary aim of this study is to investigate whether a character strengths-based intervention results in significant improvements in measures of depression anxiety resiliency optimism self-perception and life-satisfaction of psychiatrically hospitalized youth up to three months following admission Secondary aims are to 1 examine participants strengths profile to identify potential correlates between character strengths psychiatric diagnoses and intervention effectiveness and 2 determine whether patients who continue to incorporate their strengths into coping skills at follow-up assessments exhibit greater improvement over-time
Participants will be 210 adolescents aged 12 to 17 years admitted to the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Inpatient Program and will be randomized into one of the three groups All participants will complete the Values in Action Inventory of Strengths for Youth VIA-Youth Survey on their second hospital day and subsequently receive the signature strengths intervention experimental group coping skills with memory aids comparison exercise positive control group or coping skills without memory aids treatment-as-usual control group Outcome measures will be completed by all participants at baseline day 1 on unit post-treatment day 4 on unit and 1- and 3-months following admission The proposed research represents a change in paradigm as we aim to specifically examine the therapeutic benefit of the positive psychology element of our intervention conducted in the pilot study among youth with severe mental illness
