Behavioural activation therapy for depression in adults with non-communicable diseases

Abstract

BackgroundDepression is common in people with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and chronic respiratory conditions. The co-existence of depression and NCDs may a ect health behaviours, compliance with treatment, physiological factors, and quality of life. This in turn is associated with worse outcomes for both conditions. Behavioural activation is not currently indicated for the treatment of depression in this population in the UK, but is increasingly being used to treat depression in adults. ObjectivesTo examine the e ects of behavioural activation compared with any control group for the treatment of depression in adults with NCDs.To examine the e ects of behavioural activation compared with each control group separately (no treatment, waiting list, other psychological therapy, pharmacological treatment, or any other type of treatment as usual) for the treatment of depression in adults with NCDs. Search methodsWe searched CCMD-CTR, CENTRAL, Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, four other databases, and two trial registers on 4 October 2019 to identify randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of behavioural activation for depression in participants with NCDs, together with grey literature and reference checking. We applied no restrictions on date, language, or publication status to the searches. Selection criteriaWe included RCTs of behavioural activation for the treatment of depression in adults with one of four NCDs: cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and chronic respiratory conditions. Only participants with a formal diagnosis of both depression and an NCD were eligible. Studies were included if behavioural activation was the main component of the intervention. We included studies with any comparator that was not behavioural activation, and regardless of reported outcomes.

Clinical Observation of Comfort Nursing Combined With Continuous Nursing Intervention After Discharge on Improving Pressure Ulcers, Falls, Quality of Life, and Prognosis in Patients With Intracerebral Hemorrhage

“…ICH is a type of stroke related to the highest disability rate and the highest mortality rate, and active and effective functional rehabilitation training during the rehabilitation period is an important measure to improve the function of the patient's affected limb and reduce the degree of disability ( 18 ). However, the negative emotions caused by the disease and the cohesion and compliance of out-of-hospital nursing after discharge from the hospital are the important reasons that affect the completion of the rehabilitation training of patients ( 19 , 20 ). Based on this, in the nursing design of this study, the positive psychological assistance to patients and the creation of a rehabilitation atmosphere run through the hospital and out-of-hospital nursing.…”

“…Depression is a mood disorder and serious medical illness and it is a significant contributor to the global burden of diseases affecting millions of people worldwide.

Stroke Rehabilitation: Recent Progress and Future Promise

“…Research focused on interventions addressing occupation and participation outcomes is growing but requires more investment. Studied interventions include direct skill training, motivation interviewing, behavioral activation, selfmanagement, problem-solving therapy, and meta-cognitive strategy training, among others (e.g., Cheng et al, 2015;Skidmore et al, 2015Skidmore et al, , 2017Uphoff et al, 2020;Wolf et al, 2016). These interventions focus on occupation or participation as the "modality" of intervention but use distinct therapeutic strategies to address various challenges in occupational performance.…”
