Les enfants qui sont victimes d’agressions sexuelles peuvent développer des symptômes à la suite de cet événement traumatique. Que ces symptômes apparaissent dans les jours qui suivent ou après plusieurs années, il est important d’agir le plus tôt possible pour éviter que ces enfants développent des problèmes susceptibles d’impacter négativement leur fonctionnement et leur bien-être à court et à long terme. La thérapie cognitivo-comportementale est une thérapie qui gagne en popularité dans les dernières années, grâce à plusieurs études qui ont pu démontrer son efficacité dans le traitement de diverses conditions. Elle est identifiée comme une thérapie de choix pour le traitement des victimes d’agressions sexuelles (Sousa-Gomes et al., 2022). L’objectif de cette revue systématique de la littérature est d’analyser l’efficacité de la thérapie cognitivo-comportementale à réduire les symptômes associés à l’agression sexuelle chez les enfants de moins de 6 ans qui en ont été victimes, en comparaison avec l’absence de traitement. La recherche systématique s’est effectuée à l’aide des bases de données PsycINFO, MEDLINE, Social Work Abstracts, Social Services Abstract et Web of Science. Aucune étude ne correspondait à l'entièreté des critères d’inclusion et d’exclusion de cette revue. Cependant, sept études ont été lues en intégralité et ont été discutées. Cette revue permet ainsi de faire le point sur la littérature actuelle quant à l'efficacité de la thérapie cognitivo-comportementale chez les enfants de différents groupes d'âge, ainsi qu’en la comparant à d'autres thérapies. Cette revue ne comparera pas la thérapie cognitivo-comportementale à l’absence de thérapie, car les études qui incluent un groupe contrôle dans ce contexte se font très rares. Puis, il existe très peu d'études portant uniquement sur une population d’enfants d'âge préscolaire, ce qui rend impossible de tirer des conclusions sur les enfants âgés de 0 à 6 ans spécifiquement. Puisque ces deux conditions sont rarement utilisées dans les études, la combinaison de ces deux conditions est encore plus rare. / Children who are victims of sexual abuse may develop symptoms following this traumatic event. Whether these symptoms manifest in the days following or after several years, it is crucial to take action as early as possible to prevent these children from developing problems that could negatively impact their short-term and long-term functioning and well-being. Cognitive-behavioral therapy has gained popularity in recent years, thanks to several studies demonstrating its effectiveness in treating various conditions. It is identified as a preferred therapy for the treatment of victims of sexual abuse (Sousa-Gomes et al., 2022). The objective of this systematic literature review is to analyze the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy in reducing symptoms associated with sexual abuse in children under the age of 6 who have been victims, compared to the absence of treatment. The systematic search was conducted in the PsycINFO, MEDLINE, Social Work Abstracts, Social Services Abstract, and Web of Science databases. No study met all the inclusion and exclusion criteria of this review. However, seven studies were read in their entirety and discussed. This review provides an overview of the current literature regarding the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy in children of different age groups, as well as comparing it to other therapies. This review will not compare cognitive- behavioral therapy to the absence of therapy, as studies including a control group in this context are very rare. Moreover, there are very few studies focusing solely on a preschool-aged population, making it impossible to draw conclusions specifically about children aged 0 to 6. Since these two conditions are rarely used in studies, the combination of these two conditions is even rarer.

Mental health treatment in state prisons is revealed to be highly variable, under-funded, and systematically inadequate. Existing literature exposes this injustice but fails to provide a comprehensive proposal for reform. This paper attempts to fill that gap, outlining a cost-effective, evidence-based treatment proposal, directly addressing the deficits in care revealed through analysis of our current system. In addition, this paper provides historical overviews of the prison system and mental health treatment, utilizing theoretical perspectives to contextualize this proposal in the present state of affairs. Lastly, the evidence is provided to emphasize the potential economic and social benefits of improving mental health treatment in state prisons. Significant findings suggest a clear financial, legal, and moral incentive for states to address this issue, while the proposal provides a viable method of doing so.

Depression drabbar 10–20% av gravida kvinnor och kan leda till konsekvenser för bådebarnet, modern och samhället. IKBT för depression är en effektiv behandling, däremot har patientersom genomgått IKBT uttryckt behov av ytterligare stöd. Syftet med studien var att undersökaupplevelser av att erhålla extrastödsamtal under IKBT inom DANA-studien. Genom en kvalitativansats genomfördes intervjuer med nio deltagare med depression under graviditeten. Tematisk analysanvändes vilket resulterade i två huvudteman; Individanpassning efter behov och Integrering avbehandling. Resultatet visade att extrastödet utgjorde en möjlighet till flexibel individanpassningsamt ett stöd utifrån att IKBT upplevdes som en krävande behandling. Kommunikation upplevdessom avgörande för helhetsupplevelsen av behandlingen och extrastöd utgjorde en möjlighet till flerperspektiv utifrån tillgång till olika yrkeskompetenser. Resultatet ger en ökad förståelse avupplevelsen av extrastödet och dess funktion, samt vad deltagarna upplever som viktigt för att kunnagenomföra behandlingen. / Depression affects 10-20% of pregnant women and can cause consequences for the child,mother, and society. ICBT for depression is an effective treatment, however, patients that haveundergone ICBT have expressed a need for additional support. The purpose of this study was toexamine experiences of receiving extra-counseling during ICBT within the DANA-study. Through aqualitative approach, interviews were conducted with nine participants with depression duringpregnancy. Thematic analysis was used and resulted in two main themes: Adaptation to individualneeds and Integration of treatment. The result shows that extra-counseling provided an opportunityto adapt the treatment to specific needs, while functioning as a support to the ICBT which wasexperienced demanding. Communication was crucial to the overall experience, and extra-counselingwas a possibility to gain perspective from different professions. This provides increasedunderstanding of experiences of extra-counseling, its function, and what is experienced as importantto accomplish the treatment.

Objective: Analysis of short- and long-term effects of rapid response across three different treatments for binge-eating disorder (BED). Method: In a randomized clinical study comparing interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), cognitive-behavioral guided self-help (CBTgsh), and behavioral weight loss (BWL) treatment in 205 adults meeting DSM-IV criteria for BED, the predictive value of rapid response, defined as ≥ 70% reduction in binge-eating by week four, was determined for remission from binge-eating and global eating disorder psychopathology at posttreatment, 6-, 12-, 18-, and 24-month follow-up. Results: Rapid responders in CBTgsh, but not in IPT or BWL, showed significantly greater rates of remission from binge-eating than non-rapid responders, which was sustained over the long term. Rapid and non-rapid responders in IPT and rapid responders in CBTgsh showed a greater remission from binge-eating than non-rapid responders in CBTgsh and BWL. Rapid responders in CBTgsh showed greater remission from binge-eating than rapid responders in BWL. Although rapid responders in all treatments had lower global eating disorder psychopathology than non-rapid responders in the short term, rapid responders in CBTgsh and IPT were more improved than those in BWL and non-rapid responders in each treatment. Rapid responders in BWL did not differ from non-rapid responders in CBTgsh and IPT. Conclusions: Rapid response is a treatment-specific positive prognostic indicator of sustained remission from binge-eating in CBTgsh. Regarding an evidence-based stepped care model, IPT, equally efficacious for rapid and non-rapid responders, could be investigated as a second-line treatment in case of non-rapid response to first-line CBTgsh.

Le terme « tiqueur » est utilisé pour alléger le texte, et ce, sans préjudice. / Les tics sont des manifestations motrices ou phoniques, involontaires, soudaines, rapides, stéréotypées, non rythmiques et répétitives (Bloch & Leckman, 2009). Selon la cinquième version du manuel diagnostique et statistique des troubles mentaux (DSM-5), le Syndrome Gilles de la Tourette (SGT) inclut la présence de tics moteurs multiples associés à au moins un tic phonique se manifestant plusieurs fois par jour, depuis plus d'un an (APA, 2013). Lorsqu’au moins un tic moteur ou phonique existe de façon isolée depuis au moins un an, le diagnostic de Trouble de tics chroniques est plutôt envisagé (TTC). Plusieurs études ont permis de montrer une similarité entre le SGT et le TTC du point de vue des comorbidités, ainsi que des variables neuropsychologiques et psychosociales associées (Spencer & al., 1995; Shapiro & Shapiro, 1982). Ainsi, plusieurs auteurs suggèrent que le TTC constitue une forme moins sévère du SGT (Jedynak, 2004). Les effets néfastes associés aux tics chroniques sur la vie sociale, scolaire ou professionnelle sont suffisamment bien documentés dans la littérature scientifique (Cavanna, Servo, Monaco & Robertson, 2009; Robertson, 2006; Thibert, Day & Sandor, 1995). Les thérapies cognitivo-comportementales (TCC) représentent une bonne alternative à la médication dont les effets secondaires peuvent parfois être très incommodants. Toutefois, ces dernières montrent un taux d’efficacité très variable, de 30 % à 67 % selon les études (Verdellen, Van de Griendt, Hartmann & Murphy, 2011; Piacentini & al., 2010; O’Connor et al., 2015, 2008, 2005a, 2005b, 2001, 1997a, 1997b, 1997c). Pour cette raison, plusieurs auteurs ont tenté de prédire le taux de réussite thérapeutique associé à une TCC par une série de facteurs neuropsychologiques afin de trouver un élément d’explication à ces variations. La plupart s’accordent pour dire que le taux de réussite d’une TCC dépend du fonctionnement exécutif, et notamment des capacités d’inhibition et de flexibilité cognitive. Les participants ciblés par cette étude sont des adultes âgés entre 18 et 50 ans souffrants d’un SGT ou d’un Trouble de tics chroniques (n = 92), comparés à des participants sans problème psychiatrique ou neurologique (n = 56). La cueillette de données s’est effectuée au Centre d’Étude sur les Troubles Obsessionnel-Compulsif et les Tics (CÉTOCT), entre 2003 et 2013. L’objectif du premier volet de cette étude visait à comparer les capacités d’inhibition et de flexibilité cognitive chez un groupe de participants atteints de tics chroniques et un groupe de participants neurotypiques (groupe témoin). D’autre part, l’objectif du deuxième volet visait à mesurer les capacités d’inhibition et de flexibilité cognitive chez deux sous-groupes de participants : un sous-groupe ayant fortement réussi une Thérapie Cognitivo-Comportementale (TCC) pour les tics chroniques et un autre ayant faiblement réussi. Les résultats obtenus montrent que les participants atteints de tics chroniques présentent, de façon significative, de plus faibles capacités d’inhibition et de flexibilité cognitive qu’un groupe témoin. Toutefois, seules les capacités de flexibilité cognitive permettent de prédire significativement le taux de réussite thérapeutique associé à une TCC pour les tics chroniques. / Tics are involuntary motor movements or vocalizations which are sudden, rapid, stereotyped, non-rhythmic and repetitive (Bloch & Leckman, 2009). According to the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (DSM-5), Tourette’s Disorder (TD) includes multiple motor tics and at least one vocal tic that can be observed multiple times every day for more than a year (APA, 2013). When at least one motor or vocal tic can be observed for at least a year, Chronic Tic Disorder (CTD) is diagnosed instead. Multiple studies show similarities between TD and CTD for comorbidities as well as associated neuropsychological and psychosocial variables (Spencer & al., 1995; Shapiro & Shapiro, 1982). Many authors suggest that CTD is actually a milder form of TD (Jedynak, 2004). The harmful effects of chronic tics on social, academic or professional life are extensively documented in the scientific literature (Cavanna, Servo, Monaco & Robertson, 2009; Robertson, 2006; Thibert, Day & Sandor, 1995). Cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBT) represent an alternative to medications whose side effects can sometimes be incapacitating. However, their success rate is highly variable, from 30% to 67% depending on the study (Verdellen, Van de Griendt, Hartmann & Murphy, 2011; Piacentini & al., 2010; O’Connor et al., 2015, 2008, 2005a, 2005b, 2001, 1997a, 1997b, 1997c). For this reason, many authors tried to predict the therapeutic success rate by using a series of neuropsychological factors in order to explain these variations. The general consensus is that the success rate of a CBT depends on executive functioning, notably on inhibition and cognitive flexibility. Participants in this study are adults aged 18 to 50 suffering from TD or CTD (n = 92) who are compared to participants without a diagnosed psychiatric or neurological disorder (n = 56). The data was collected at the Centre d’Étude sur les Troubles Obsessionnels-Compulsifs et les Tics (CÉTOCT) between 2003 and 2013. The objective of the first part of this study was to compare the inhibition and cognitive flexibility of a group of participants with chronic tics and a group of neurotypical participants (control group). On the other hand, the aim of the second component was to measure inhibition and cognitive flexibility in two subgroups of participants : a subgroup that strongly succeeded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for chronic tics and another with weak success. The results showed that participants with chronic tics had significantly lower inhibition and cognitive flexibility than a control group. However, only cognitive flexibility can significantly predict the therapeutic success rate associated with CBT for chronic tics.

Le Trouble obsessionnel-compulsif (TOC) de l’enfant et de l’adolescent est un trouble fréquent mais encore peu reconnu. Le traitement de première intention est la thérapie cognitive et comportementale (TCC). Les objectifs de cette étude sont de démontrer la faisabilité d’un protocole de TCC en population clinique et de montrer l’évolution symptomatique pendant 18 mois. Neuf patients présentant un TOC âgés de 6 à 16 ans ont reçu 12 séances hebdomadaires de TCC. Une évaluation est réalisée avant et après le traitement puis tous les 6 mois pendant 18 mois, elle comprend la mesure des TOC (CY BOCS), également des symptômes anxieux (ECAP), de dépression (CDI), une échelle de fonctionnement global (C GAS) et d’amélioration (CGI). Trois subtests du WISC IV permettent d’analyser les capacités attentionnelles. Résultats : les patients s’améliorent de 46% à la CY BOCS après la TCC, de 69% à 18 mois. Les variations intra-individuelles montrent des profils évolutifs différents : réponse très rapide puis rémission, amélioration retardée suivie de rémission ou amélioration puis rechute. Un seul patient n’est pas répondeur. Un changement psychologique dans une optique différentielle et intra individuelle, par des techniques de ré échantillonage (Bootstrap) et de comparaison des profils (test de Kolmogorov-Smirnof) est observé pour les patients les plus sévèrement atteints initialement. Conclusions : Un protocole de TCC dans le TOC de l’enfant et de l’adolescent est réalisable en population clinique. L’efficacité est montrée et se poursuit pendant les 18 mois. La TCC permet une amélioration globale (CGI, C GAS), symptomatique (CY BOCS, ECAP, CDI) et cognitive (WISC IV). / Pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a frequent but a not usually recognized trouble. The first –line treatment is cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Objective : To demonstrate the feasibility of CBT protocol delivered in an outpatient community-based clinic and to evaluate clinic symptoms at 18 months follow-up. Nine participants (age 6-16 years) received 12 CBT weekly sessions. Assessment is realized at pre and post treatment, and every 6 months during 18 months, including symptoms of TOC (CY BOC), of anxiety(ECAP), of depression ((CDI), global functioning (C GAS) and improvement (CGI). Three WISC IV subtests allow attentional capacity analysis. Results: patients improvements are : 46% at post treatment, and 69% at 18 months follow up. The intra-individual variations show differents evolutionary profiles : quick response and remission, delayed improvement followed by remission or improvement followed by relapse. Only one is non responder. A psychological change in a differential and intra-individual optical, with sample rate (Bootstrap) and profiles comparaison (test de Kolmogorov-Smirnof) is observed for the pre treatment more severe patients. Conclusions : CBT protocol of OCD in children and adolescent is feasible in community-base clinic. Efficiency is showed and continues during 18 months. CBT allows global (CGI, C GAS), symptom (CY BOCS, ECAP, CDI) and cognitive (WISC IV) improvements.

Cette étude porte sur une intervention de groupe basée sur la thérapie cognitivo-comportementale pour l’hyperphagie boulimique (HB), dont les effets potentiels sur la qualité de vie reliée au poids, la fréquence et la sévérité des crises de boulimie, les symptômes dépressifs, l’image corporelle et le poids corporel ont été mesurés, et le degré d’acceptation par les participantes a été documenté. Ainsi, 11 femmes avec un surplus de poids et répondant aux critères diagnostiques de l’HB ont été recrutées du printemps 2012 à l’hiver 2013, dans la région de Montréal. Le programme comportant huit séances hebdomadaires était dispensé par une nutritionniste et une psychothérapeute. La qualité de vie reliée au poids (Impact of Weight on Quality of Life), la fréquence des crises de boulimie (rappel des sept derniers jours), la sévérité des crises de boulimie (Binge Eating Scale), les symptômes dépressifs (Inventaire de Beck pour la dépression), l’insatisfaction corporelle (Body Shape Questionnaire) et le poids corporel ont été mesurés avant et à la fin de l’intervention. Puis, un questionnaire pour mesurer l’acceptation par les participantes était soumis au terme du programme. Le taux de participation aux séances était aussi colligé. Les résultats montrent que notre programme a permis une amélioration significative du score global de la qualité de vie reliée au poids de 8,4 ± 13,3, ainsi qu’en termes d’estime de soi et de travail. Aussi, une diminution significative de la fréquence des crises de boulimie de 2,1 ± 2,1 jours, de la sévérité des crises de boulimie dont le score a diminué de 10,9 ± 7,7, des symptômes dépressifs dont le score a diminué de 8,3 ± 5,7 et de l’insatisfaction corporelle dont le score a diminué de 32,8 ± 17,1, ont été observées. Toutefois, il n’y a pas eu de perte de poids au terme de l’intervention. Puis, le programme a été bien accepté par les participantes tel que démontré par le taux de participation aux séances de 93,8 % et la satisfaction mesurée par l’appréciation des divers éléments du programme de 4,6 sur 5 et la pertinence de ceux-ci de 4,8 sur 5. Ces données suggèrent que l’intervention de groupe semble être prometteuse pour améliorer les symptômes et conséquences de l’HB, à l’exception du poids. / This study focuses on a group intervention for binge eating disorder (BED), by measuring its potential effects on the quality of life related to weight, frequency and severity of binge episodes, depressive symptoms, body dissatisfaction and body weight, and documenting the degree of acceptance of the intervention by the participants. Thus, 11 overweight women that met the BED diagnostic criteria were recruited from spring 2012 to winter 2013, in Montreal. The program includes eight weekly sessions based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy provided by a nutritionist and a psychotherapist. Quality of life related to weight (Impact of Weight on Quality of Life), binge eating frequency (recall of the last seven days), binge eating severity (Binge Eating Scale), depression (Beck Inventory for depression), body dissatisfaction (Body Shape Questionnaire) and body weight were measured before and after the intervention. Then, a questionnaire to assess the acceptance by the participants was submitted at the end of the program. The rate of participation was also collected. The results showed that our program has resulted in significant improvements in the overall quality of life score related to weight of 8.4 ± 13.3, and in terms of self-esteem and work. We also observed a decrease in binge eating frequency by 2.1 ± 2.1 days as well as in binge eating severity, depressive symptoms and body dissatisfaction whose scores decreased by 10.9 ± 7.7, 8.3 ± 5.7 and 32.8 ± 17.1 respectively. However, there was no significant difference in weight at the end of the intervention. Also, the program was well accepted by the participants with a participation rate of 93.8%. Satisfaction and relevance of the program scored respectively 4,6 and 4,8 out of 5. These data suggest that the group intervention seems to be a promising method to improve the symptoms and consequences of HB, except for weight.

No. of bitstreams: 1 taiane.pdf: 500923 bytes, checksum: bb4a10bbb2a2448b84aceb8f2e29daa6 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-01-17 / Introduction: The literature indicates high occurrence of anxiety symptoms in people who have depression, this index simultaneously suggests the importance of studying the impact of anxiety symptoms in treatment for depression. Objective: To evaluate the impact of anxiety symptoms in remission of depressive symptoms in brief psychotherapies for depression at follow-up six months. Methods: Randomized clinical trial with youth of 18 to 29 years old who met diagnostic criteria for depression assessed by the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM (SCID). Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAM-D), while the anxiety symptoms were assessed using the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A). The protocols of psychotherapy used were: Cognitive Narrative Psychotherapy (CNP) and Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy (CBP), both with seven sessions. At the end of treatment and at follow-up six months an evaluation was made with the HAM-D and HAM-A. Results: The sample included 97 patients divided evenly between the protocols of psychotherapy. There was a significant positive moderate correlation between the severity of anxiety symptoms at baseline and remission of depressive symptoms at post-intervention (r = 0.444 p <0.001), while at follow-up six months not there was a significant correlation (r = 0.181 p = 0.164). There was remission of anxiety symptoms (8.69 ± 7.93) and depressive symptoms (6.38 ± 5.4o) after the brief psychotherapies. The remission of anxiety symptoms remained at follow-up of six months (7.59 ± 8.31, p = 0,228) and the same was true for the remission if depressive symptoms (6.48 ± 5.04, p = 0,879). Conclusion: The severity of anxiety symptoms contributed to greater remission of depressive symptoms after brief psychotherapies in the short term. However, in long term, the severity of the anxiety symptoms has no impact on the remission of the depressive symptoms. The brief psychotherapies for depression demonstrate efficacy in the remission of depressive and anxious symptoms / Introdução: A literatura aponta alta ocorrência de sintomas ansiosos em indivíduos que apresentam depressão, este índice simultâneo sugere a importância de se estudar o impacto dos sintomas ansiosos no tratamento para depressão. Objetivo: Avaliar o impacto dos sintomas ansiosos na remissão de sintomas depressivos em psicoterapias breves para depressão no follow-up de seis meses. Método: Ensaio clínico randomizado com jovens de 18 à 29 anos que preencheram critério diagnóstico de depressão avaliado através da Structured Clinical Interview for DSM (SCID). Os sintomas depressivos foram avaliados através da Hamilton Depression Scale (HAM-D), enquanto os sintomas ansiosos foram avaliados através da Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A). Os protocolos de psicoterapia utilizados foram: Psicoterapia Cognitiva Narrativa (PCN) e Psicoterapia Cognitivo Comportamental (PCC), ambos com sete sessões. Ao fim do tratamento, bem como, no follow-up de seis meses foi realizada uma avaliação com as escalas HAM-D e HAM-A. Resultados: A amostra total contou com 97 pacientes distribuídos homogeneamente entre os protocolos de psicoterapia. Houve uma correlação moderada positiva significativa entre a severidade dos sintomas ansiosos no baseline e a remissão de sintomas depressivos no pós-intervenção (r=0,444 p<0,001), no entanto, no follow-up de seis meses a correlação não foi estatisticamente significativa (r=0,181 p=0,164). Houve remissão de sintomas ansiosos (8,69±7,93) e de sintomas depressivos (6,38±5,40) após as psicoterapias breves. A remissão dos sintomas ansiosos manteve-se no follow-up de seis meses (7,59±8,31; p=0,228) e o mesmo ocorreu para a remissão se sintomas depressivos (6,48±5,04; p=0,879). 47 Conclusão: A severidade dos sintomas ansiosos contribuiu para maior remissão de sintomas depressivos após psicoterapias breves em curto prazo. Contudo, a longo prazo, a severidade dos sintomas ansiosos não apresenta impacto sobre a remissão dos sintomas depressivos. As psicoterapias breves para depressão demonstram eficácia na remissão de sintomas ansiosos e depressivos

O transtorno de pânico (TP) é uma condição crônica e recorrente, acompanhada por sintomas físicos e cognitivos que causam prejuízos à qualidade de vida e ao funcionamento psicossocial dos pacientes. Apesar do tratamento eficaz com medicamentos e terapia cognitivocomportamental (TCC), a recaída dos sintomas é frequente. A falha de enfrentamento ou coping de eventos estressores tem sido apontada como um gatilho desse desfecho. O protocolo atual de 12 sessões de TCC em grupo (TCCG) é específico para sintomas do TP, não abordando estratégias cognitivas de coping e de resiliência. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi o de avaliar a resposta em curto prazo ao acréscimo de estratégias de coping e de resiliência ao protocolo padrão de TCCG para o TP. Trata-se de um estudo de método misto, desenvolvido em duas etapas: primeiramente foi realizada uma pesquisa metodológica para o desenvolvimento e a avaliação da clareza de um protocolo com quatro sessões de TCCG, organizadas em um manual; a segunda etapa consistiu em um ensaio clínico controlado com pacientes com TP alocados aleatoriamente no grupo intervenção (TCCG padrão mais o acréscimo de quatro sessões de intervenções com técnicas cognitivas de estratégias de coping e resiliência) ou para o grupo controle (TCCG padrão). A gravidade dos sintomas do TP foi mensurada antes e depois da TCCG. Para identificar as estratégias de coping e de resiliência, foram aplicados o Inventário de Estratégias de Coping (IEC) e a Escala de Resiliência, respectivamente A qualidade de vida (QV) foi avaliada pela WHOQOL-bref. O estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa de Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (nº 140379). Após a elaboração do manual, um grupo-piloto de sete pacientes avaliou as quatro sessões e contribuiu com sugestões para a versão final. Na sequência, realizou-se o ensaio clínico com 100 pacientes selecionados e alocados 50 para cada grupo. Um total de 36 (72%) do grupo intervenção e 29 (58%) do controle concluiu as sessões de TCCG. Observou-se que ambos os grupos apresentaram melhora significativa dos sintomas do TP ao longo do tempo em todas as medidas de desfecho, porém sem interação tempo*grupo. Após a TCCG, os sintomas de ansiedade (pgrupo=0,016), depressão (pgrupo=0,025) e uso de benzodiazepínicos (ptempo*grupo<0,001) foram significativamente menores no grupo intervenção do que no grupo controle. Houve mudança significativa positiva nas estratégias de coping mais adaptativas e em todos os domínios da qualidade de vida (ptempo<0,001), embora sem diferença entre os grupos. Exceto para o domínio meio ambiente o aumento foi significativo considerando-se a interação tempo*grupo (ptempo*grupo=0,027). A resiliência apresentou um aumento significativo após a TCCG no grupo intervenção (pgrupo=0,041), com interação tempo*grupo (ptempo*grupo=0,027). Portanto, confirmou-se a efetividade da TCCG para melhora dos sintomas do TP, e adicionar as sessões ao protocolo padrão de TCCG mostrou-se uma medida viável e efetiva para melhorar a capacidade de resiliência e de aspectos da qualidade de vida dos pacientes com TP. Contudo, são necessários estudos de seguimentos para que se verifique os efeitos da intervenção em desfechos do TP como recaída. / Panic disorder (PD) is a chronic, recurrent condition characterized by physical and cognitive symptoms that are harmful to patients' quality of life (QOL) and psychosocial functioning. Despite the efficacy of drug treatment and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), symptom relapse is common. Failure to cope with stressful events has been reported as a trigger for this outcome. The protocol with 12 sessions of cognitive-behavioral group therapy (CBGT) currently used for PD symptoms does not include coping and resilience strategies. This study aimed to assess short-term response to the addition of coping and resilience strategies to the standard CBGT protocol for PD. This mixed methods research was conducted in two phases: first, a methodological research was performed to develop and assess the clarity of a protocol with four CBGT sessions, organized in a handbook; second, a controlled trial was performed, in which patients with PD were randomly allocated to an intervention group (standard CBGT plus four sessions using cognitive techniques for coping and resilience) or a control group (standard CBGT). PD symptom severity was measured before and after CBGT. The Coping Strategies Inventory (CSI) and the Resilience Scale were used to identify coping and resilience strategies, respectively. QOL was assessed using the WHOQOL-bref. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (protocol no. 140379) After the handbook was prepared, a pilot group of seven patients evaluated the four additional sessions and contributed with suggestions for the final version. The clinical trial was then conducted with 100 selected patients (50 patients in each group). Thirty-six (72%) patients in the intervention group and 29 (58%) controls completed the CBGT sessions. Both groups showed a significant improvement in PD symptoms in all outcome measures over time, but with no time*group interaction. After the CBGT sessions, anxiety symptoms (pgroup=0.016), depression (pgroup=0.025), and use of benzodiazepines (ptime*group<0.001) significantly decreased in the intervention group compared to the control group. There was a significant positive change in the more adaptive coping strategies and in all QOL domains (ptime<0.001), but with no between-group difference. Except for the environment domain, there was a significant increase considering time*group interaction (ptime*group=0.027). Resilience showed a significant increase after CBGT in the intervention group (pgroup=0.041), with time*group interaction (ptime*group=0.027). Therefore, the effectiveness of CBGT in improving PD symptoms was confirmed, and adding sessions to the standard CBGT protocol proved to be a feasible and effective measure to improve resilience and QOL aspects in patients with PD. However, follow-up studies are required to assess the effects of the intervention on PD outcomes such as relapse. / El trastorno de pánico (TP) es una condición crónica y recurrente, acompañada de síntomas físicos y cognitivos que perjudican la calidad de vida y el funcionamiento psicosocial del paciente. Pese al tratamiento eficaz con medicamentos y terapia cognitivo-conductual (TCC), la recurrencia de los síntomas es frecuente. La falla de afrontamiento o coping de eventos estresores ha sido apuntada como un disparador de este desenlace. El protocolo actual de 12 sesiones de TCC en grupo (TCCG) es específico para síntomas de TP y no trata de estrategias cognitivas de coping y de resiliencia. El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la respuesta a corto plazo a la adición de estrategias de coping y de resiliencia al protocolo estándar de TCCG para TP. Se trata de un estudio con método mixto, desarrollado en dos etapas: primeramente, se realizó una investigación metodológica para el desarrollo y la evaluación da clareza de un protocolo con cuatro sesiones de TCCG, organizadas en un manual; la segunda etapa consistió en un ensayo clínico controlado con pacientes con TP asignados aleatoriamente al grupo intervención (TCCG estándar más cuatro sesiones de intervención con estrategias cognitivas de coping y resiliencia) o al grupo control (TCCG estándar). Se mensuró la gravedad de los síntomas de TP antes y después de la TCCG. Para identificar las estrategias de coping y de resiliencia, se aplicó el Inventario de Estrategias de Coping (IEC) e la Escala de Resiliencia, respectivamente. La calidad de vida (CV) se evaluó por la WHOQOL-bref. El estudio ha sido aprobado por el Comité de Ética en Investigación de Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (no. 140379) Tras la elaboración del manual, un grupopiloto de siete pacientes evaluó las cuatro sesiones y contribuyó con sugerencias para la versión final. A continuación, se realizó el ensayo clínico con 100 pacientes seleccionados y asignados en número de 50 para cada grupo. Un total de 36 (72%) pacientes del grupo intervención y 29 (58%) del grupo control concluyeron las sesiones de TCCG. Se observó que ambos grupos tuvieron una mejora significativa de los síntomas de TP a lo longo del tiempo en todas las medidas de desenlace, pero sin interacción tiempo vs. grupo. Tras la TCCG, los síntomas de ansiedad (pgrupo=0,016), depresión (pgrupo=0,025) y uso de benzodiazepínicos (ptiempo*grupo<0,001) fueron significativamente menores en el grupo intervención que en el grupo control. Hubo un cambio significativo positivo en las estrategias de coping más adaptativas y en todos los dominios de CV (ptiempo<0,001), pero sin diferencia entre los grupos. Excepto para el dominio medio ambiente, el aumento fue significativo, considerándose la interacción tiempo vs. grupo (ptiempo vs. grupo=0,027). La resiliencia presentó un aumento significativo tras la TCCG en el grupo intervención (pgrupo=0,041), con interacción tiempo vs. grupo (ptiempo vs. grupo=0,027). Así, se confirmó la efectividad de la TCCG para mejora de los síntomas de TP, y añadir las sesiones al protocolo estándar de TCCG se mostró una medida viable y efectiva para mejorar la capacidad de resiliencia y de aspectos de CV de los pacientes con TP. Sin embargo, son necesarios estudios de seguimiento para que se verifiquen los efectos de la intervención en desenlaces de TP como recurrencia.
