“…The parallel parent groups covered subjects that corresponded to those of the child groups, with the intention of increasing parental support for children and providing a general focus on positive parent strategies [36]. A pilot study reported positive results for the feasibility of the EMOTION intervention [37]. Table 1 displays the curriculum components the EMOTION program.…”

Background: Anxious and depressive symptoms in youth are highly prevalent, are often comorbid and have a high rate of relapse. Preventive interventions are promising, but follow-up results are lacking. The transdiagnostic EMO-TION program is an indicated preventive cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention targeting children aged 8-12 years.Methods: The present study investigates the 12 months follow-up effects of the EMOTION intervention in a cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) with 795 children that included both child self-reports and parental reports.

“…[69,129] Promising developments for transdiagnostic intervention approaches have been emerging for adults, [70,71] and children. [13,39,72,73] For example, Weersing and colleagues [13] designed a treatment that condensed existing CBT protocols for anxiety and depression to their core components and combined them into a brief, integrated treatment protocol that targeted common underlying processes, such as behavioral avoidance and withdrawal. In the area of prevention, a group prevention program called EMOTION [73] recently was developed to integrate core components of empirically supported treatments for anxiety and depression into a preventive intervention for indicated samples of youth.…”

Treatment and Prevention of Depression and Anxiety in Youth: Test of Cross-Over Effects

et al. 2016

Anxiety and depression are highly comorbid and share several common etiological processes. Therefore, it may be more efficient to develop interventions that treat or prevent these problems together rather than as separate entities. The present meta-analytic review examined whether interventions for children and adolescents that explicitly targeted either anxiety or depression showed treatment specificity or also impacted the other outcome (i.e., cross-over effects). We addressed this question both within the same type of study (i.e., treatment, prevention) and across study types. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that assessed both constructs with dimensional measures were included in this review. For treatment studies, RCTs targeting anxiety (n=18) showed significant effects on both anxious and depressive symptoms, although more strongly on anxiety than depression; similarly, RCTs treating depression (n=9) yielded significant effects on both depressive and anxious symptoms, but stronger effects on depression than anxiety. Thus, there were cross-over effects in treatments purportedly targeting either anxiety or depression, and also treatment specificity, such that larger effects were seen for the target problem at which the treatment was aimed. Anxiety prevention studies (n=14) significantly affected anxious, but not depressive symptoms, indicating no cross-over effect of anxiety prevention trials on depression. For depression prevention studies (n=15), the effects were not significant for either depressive or anxiety symptoms, although the effect was significantly larger for depressive than for anxious symptoms. Post-hoc analyses revealed that the effect on depressive symptoms was significant in depression preventions trials of targeted but not universal samples. Implications for transdiagnostic interventions are discussed.

“…A depressão na infância, normalmente, está associada à baixa autoestima, ao isolamento social, à queda no rendimento escolar e ao uso de substâncias (Martinsen et al, 2014;Meinzer et al, 2014). A depressão está presente cada vez mais na população infantil, podendo ser muitas vezes crônica, recorrente, causando prejuízos e limitações que estão associadas a consequências para toda vida (Pennant et al, 2015).…”

Resumo.A infância é uma fase repleta de desafios. As crianças passam por diversas situações, positivas e negativas, que requerem delas recursos para enfrentá-las. Quando os eventos se tornam opressivos, elas podem não estar preparadas para a resolução de conflitos, acarretando sintomas psicológicos como ansiedade, estresse e depressão. Uma alternativa para lidar com os desafios da infância são as intervenções embasadas na abordagem Cognitivo--Comportamental, destinadas a promover saúde mental com enfoque nas habilidades sociais e de vida. Este artigo objetiva apresentar e avaliar os resultados preliminares da aplicação do Programa de Promoção de Habilidades para a Vida (PRHAVIDA) em crianças com escores clínicos de ansiedade, depressão e estresse. Participaram 16 crianças de 8 a 10 anos. Os instrumentos utilizados foram: Escala Multidimensional de Ansiedade para Crianças, Escala de Stress Infantil e Children's Depression Inventory. O estudo envolveu o delineamento pré-experimental com aplicação dos instrumentos antes e após o programa. Como resultados, encontrou-se uma redução estatisticamente significativa dos escores de depressão no pós-teste quando comparados ao pré-teste. Não foram encontradas diferenças nos escores de ansiedade e estresse. O estudo levanta hipóteses de que são necessários ajustes no programa para atender a demanda das crianças com sintomatologia de ansiedade e estresse. No entanto, o programa tem efeitos positivos para sintomas de depressão infantil e, consequentemente, contribui para o desenvolvimento saudável das crianças, bem como atende seu objetivo de ser promotor de saúde mental infantil.Palavras-chave: promoção em saúde mental infantil, habilidades de vida, terapia cognitiva-comportamental.Abstract. Childhood is a stage full of challenges. Children go through various situations, positive and negative, requiring from them resources to face them. However, when events become oppressive, they may not be prepared for conflict resolution, which can result in psychological symptoms such as anxiety, stress and depression. An alternative to dealing with the challenges of childhood are interventions based on the Cognitive-Behavioral approach, designed to promote mental health with a focus on social and life skills.
