The therapeutic effect of cognitive behavioral therapy combined with family intervention on obsess-ive-compulsive disorder
Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of cognitive behavioral therapy(CBT)combined with family intervention on obsessive-compulsive disorder(OCD).Method A total of 28 pa-tients with OCD who visited the outpatient department of Xiamen Xianyue Hospital from June 2021 to June 2022 were randomly divided into intervention group(n=13)and control group(n=15).Patients in the inter-vention group and the control group were both received routine drug treatment.On this basis,the patients in intervention group received the treatment of CBT combined with family intervention,while the patients in con-trol group only received CBT treatment.The participants were evaluated at baseline,post-intervention,1 month and 3 months after the intervention.The Yale-Brown obsessive compulsive scale(Y-BOCS)was used to evaluate the severity of symptoms,and the Sheehan disability scale(SDS)was used to assess their func-tion impairment in patients.The family accommodation scale for OCD interviewer-rated(FAS-IR)was em-ployed to assess family members'family accommodation behavior.Changes in scores on the Y-BOCS scale,SDS scale,and FAS-IR scale scores at each observation time point were used as outcome indicators.The t-test,x2-test and repeated measure ANOVA were used for statistical analysis by SPSS 25.0 software.Re-sults(1)The interaction effect of Y-BOCS score between time and group before and after intervention was significant(F=4.748,P<0.05).The results of the simple effects test showed that the Y-BOCS score of the intervention group at 1 month after the intervention(20.63±5.23)was lower than that of the baseline(27.23±5.12)and post-intervention(24.85±5.94)(both P<0.05).The Y-BOCS score of the intervention group at 3 months after the intervention(16.85±4.62)was lower than that of the baseline,post-intervention,and 1 month after the intervention(all P<0.05).The Y-BOCS score of the control group at 3 months after the intervention(20.93±7.51)was lower than that of the baseline(25.93±4.68)and post-intervention(25.53±6.57)(both P<0.05).(2)The interaction effect of SDS score between time and group before and after intervention was significant(F=54.88,P<0.01).The results of the simple effects test showed that the SDS score of the intervention group at post-intervention was lower than that of the baseline(P<0.05).The SDS score at 1 month after the intervention was lower than that of the baseline and post-intervention(both P<0.05).The SDS score of the intervention group at 3 months after the intervention was lower than that of the baseline,post-intervention,and 1 month after the intervention(all P<0.05).At 3 months after the inter-vention,the SDS score of the intervention group was lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).(3)The interaction effect of FAS-IR score between time and group before and after intervention was significant(F=20.285,P<0.01).The results of the simple effects test showed that post-intervention,the FAS-IR score of the intervention group was lower than that of the baseline(P<0.05).The SDS score at 1 month after the in-tervention was lower than the baseline and post-intervention(both P<0.05).The FAS-IR score of the inter-vention group at 3 months after the intervention was lower than that of the baseline,post-intervention,and 1 month after the intervention(all P<0.05).At 3 months after the intervention,the FAS-IR score of the inter-vention group was lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The CBT combined with family intervention can improve the treatment outcome of OCD,patients'functional impairment,and reduce the occurrence of family accommodation behavior,which providing a basis for family intervention in OCD.
