A short-term stress management programme was carried out as a pilot study with seven acutely depressed in-patients. Various techniques in muscle relaxation and biofeedback were used in a six-session programme designed to decrease anxiety and to cope more effectively with stress. One occupational therapist served as a group facilitator and teacher of stress management techniques while a second occupational therapist served as the group recorder. During the one and a half hour sessions specific techniques were practised by the patients. These techniques included Benson ‘s Relaxation Response, visual imagery, Jacobson's Progressive Relaxation, heart rate and finger temperature biofeedback and behavioural rehearsal. A Stress Management Questionnaire, developed by the first author, was used to help the patients become more aware of the symptoms of stress, stressors that “trigger” symptoms and everyday activities that can be used to control stress. The State — Anxiety Scale was administered pre- and post-intervention to assess the reduction of anxiety. Results showed that there was a significant reduction in anxiety at the .05 level using a correlated t-test. Qualitative comments from the patients at the end of the stress management programme indicated that the sessions had a positive effect in increasing their ability to relax and in learning to recognize individual stress reactions as well as new alternatives to coping with stress.

Intervention Description

Objective: To present the theoretical foundation and methodological considerations for a group-based pain management programme for patients with persistent non-specific low back pain and psychosocial risk factors. Method: The Template for Intervention Description and Replication (TIDieR) checklist was used as a framework for describing the content, structure and context of the program. The theoretical rationale underlying the pain management programme was described using the first three steps of the Intervention Mapping framework. The Fear-avoidance model and the Self-efficacy Theory were identified as the two main theories. These were used to establish specific factors addressed by the pain management programme as well as expected outcomes. Intervention description: A multidisciplinary, group-based programme using a cognitive-behavioural approach was developed. The programme consisting of six sessions of two hours duration, took place at a spine clinic at a regional hospital in Denmark. Psychoeducation and cognitive restructuring were specific strategies hypothesised to induce changes in outcome measures. The outcomes expected to change as a result of the intervention were disability, quality of life, sick leave and physical activity. A pilot study was performed, subsequent adjustments made and the final content and educational materials completed by January 2017. Conclusion: The theoretical foundation and underlying evidence for the hypothesised change mechanisms in the use of a cognitive-behavioural approach was presented. A theoretically sound and practically feasible intervention has been developed and its effectiveness is being determined in a randomised controlled trial, including 130 low back pain patients, which is currently underway.

AbstractWe describe the results of a randomized controlled trial to assess effectiveness of an anger management group programme, employing a cognitive behavioural framework that was run by the Psychology Service. The treatment group was compared with a control group on a waiting list. The trial was performed at the Southampton CBT Service. The treatment group received a cognitive behavioural anger management programme, initially based on Novaco's approach, but with further development of the motivational components. The control group received no treatment and was on a waiting list. The Novaco Anger Assessment Scale (NAS), State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI), Evaluative Beliefs Scale (EBS), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD) and the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluations (CORE) were used to measure anger, belief about self and others, anxiety and depression, and physical and psychological wellbeing. Clients in the anger management group showed statistically significant changes on STAXI, NAS, CORE and EBS subscales at the end of the therapy. The change in depression and anxiety on HAD (depression and anxiety) was not statistically significant. It was not possible to carry out analyses at follow-up due to high dropout rates. We concluded that an anger management programme using CBT was helpful in reducing anger and overall psychopathology.
