Effect of Psychoeducation Group Training Based on Problem-Solving Skills for Women Experiencing Bipolar Spouse Abuse

Abstract

Aim: Wives of patients with bipolar disorder as informal caregivers are at high risk for spouse abuse and need to learn coping strategies such as problem-solving skills to manage problematic situations. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of the psychoeducation group training based on problem-solving skills for women experiencing bipolar spouse abuse.Methods: A randomized clinical trial design was used for this study. In intervention group, women experiencing bipolar spouse abuse participated in four problem-solving skills training sessions and women in two groups (intervention = 30 and control = 30) completed the Index of Spouse Abuse at baseline and after 2 months.Results: The results indicated that changes in abuse scores (physical, non-physical and total of Index of Spouse Abuse) after the intervention were significantly different among the two groups (p < 0.0001). Although abuse scores decreased in both the intervention and the control groups, but lower abuse scores in the intervention than control group were statistically significant.Conclusion: Our findings support that the problem-solving skills training intervention can help to decrease the women experience of bipolar spouse abuse.

Self-Esteem, Social Problem Solving and Intimate Partner Violence Victimization in Emerging Adulthood

“…This study suggests the importance of setting up programs to prevent IPV by developing life skills (e.g., problem solving) as early as possible. It also suggests that cognitive-behavioral therapies should be adapted to better target SPS skills that can help individuals find appropriate solutions to cope with their problems [ 52 , 73 , 74 , 75 ].…”

Psychosocial interventions for carers of people with severe mental and substance use disorders: a systematic review and meta-analysis

“…The psychoeducational approach is the most frequent intervention provided to carers of people with severe mental disorders, although different psychoeducational approaches exist. Common elements to the different approaches include the provision of problem-solving techniques [34, 39, 40, 44–46, 52, 58, 59, 70–75, 81, 82, 100]; the promotion of appropriate coping strategies [20, 24, 30, 34, 42, 51, 58, 66, 67, 73, 82, 95, 96]; and the teaching of communication skills [51, 52, 57, 58, 63, 67, 69, 82, 97–99]. This intervention can be delivered in different settings (i.e., at the mental health center, at home), and format (individual vs. group; Table 7).…”

“…Three studies on carers of persons with schizophrenia/ psychosis/schizophrenia spectrum disorder [31][32][33], and one study on carers of persons with bipolar disorder [34], found a modest positive effect. A positive effect of the interventions was not found in three studies on carers of persons with schizophrenia/psychosis/ schizophrenia spectrum disorder [35][36][37], and in three studies on carers of persons with bipolar disorder [38][39][40].…”
