Zusammenfassung: Schlaganfall ist nach Herzinfarkt und Krebs die dritthäufigste Todesursache in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Je nach Quelle variieren die Jahresprävalenzen zwischen 250.000 und 1.5 Millionen Schlaganfallpatienten. Zahlreiche Patienten, die einen Schlaganfall überleben, entwickeln meist initial oder im Verlauf eine depressive Symptomatik. Genaue Häufigkeitsangaben über das Auftreten dieser sogenannten Poststroke-Depression gibt es aber bisher nicht: die Angaben schwanken zwischen 11 und 79 %. Präzise Häufigkeitsangaben werden erschwert durch eine Konfundierung mit der Lebenszeitprävalenz von Depression sowie durch Koinzidenz mit Symptomen anderer Erkrankungen der meist älteren Patienten. Problematisch für die Differentialdiagnostik bei multiplen überlagerten Symptomen sind unterschiedliche Definitionen des Begriffs “Schlaganfall”, nicht einheitliche Verwendung von Diagnosekriterien und -systemen und Untersuchungsverfahren, unterschiedliche Ausbildungsgrade der Untersucher sowie unterschiedliche Untersuchungszeitpunkte im Behandlungsverlauf.

Background: Brief psychosocial intervention (BPI) is a treatment for adolescent depression that has recently demonstrated clinical effectiveness in a controlled trial. The aim of this study is to explore experiences of adolescents with major depression receiving BPI treatment in the context of good treatment outcomes. Method: A subsample of five interviews from a larger study of adolescents’ experiences of BPI was purposively selected, focusing on good-outcome cases. Interviews were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis to provide a richer understanding of participants’ experiences of overcoming depression in the BPI group. Results: Four central themes were identified: ‘Being heard and feeling safe’, ‘Collaborative working enhancing therapy’, ‘Gaining a different perspective on one’s self and relationships’ and ‘A positive therapeutic relationship’. Conclusion: BPI is a novel approach with promising clinical effectiveness. Utilising adolescents’ experiences has revealed potential psychological mechanisms of good treatment response to BPI. Overall implications for clinical practice with depressed adolescents are discussed.

AbstractThis systematic review aimed to contribute to a better and more focused understanding of the link between the concept of resilience and psychosocial interventions in the migrant population. The research questions concerned the type of population involved, definition of resilience, methodological choices and which intervention programmes were targeted at migrants. In the 90 articles included, an heterogeneity in defining resilience or not well specified definition resulted. Different migratory experiences were not adequately considered in the selection of participants. Few resilience interventions on migrants were resulted. A lack of procedure’s descriptions that keep in account specific migrants’ life-experiences and efficacy’s measures were highlighted.
