A Single Case Experiment Design Investigating Wisdom Enhancement to Augment CBT Outcomes for Depression in Post-Stroke Populations
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Timeline Intervention for Post-stroke Depression. Completed, enrolled 3 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
One-third of stroke survivors experience post-stroke depression, but there are currently no official guidelines for supporting them. Researchers aim to investigate whether the wisdom enhancement timeline technique can reduce depression in stroke survivors. The investigators also want to understand how this technique positively impacts mood, identity, self-esteem, and wisdom. The study will involve nine stroke survivors from the National Health Service (NHS) to gain insights into effective ways to support those with post-stroke depression.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The proposed intervention consists of six sessions. In Session One, the focus is on building rapport, assessing individual difficulties, setting client-focused goals, and introducing the timeline. Participants complete timeline examples during the session and as homework. In Session Two, psychoeducation is provided regarding the impact of stroke, addressing changes in identity and associated feelings of grievance. Session Three onwards introduces active change methods, encouraging reflection on complex life events. The aim is to promote resilience, meaning, self-compassion, and self-acceptance by exploring past coping strategies and finding significance in events of regret. This framework aims to enhance research on complex interventions, considering efficacy, effectiveness, theory-based approaches, and systems perspectives.
