Evaluation of group processes using visual analogue scales.

D J Rampling, R A Williams

    The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry
    |September 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Group psychotherapy sessions positively impacted patient mood scores in a psychiatric unit. The study found mood score dispersion differed significantly on days with group therapy versus days without, suggesting group cohesiveness is key.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Clinical Psychology
    • Social Psychology

    Background:

    • Assessing the impact of therapeutic interventions on patient mood is crucial in psychiatric care.
    • Group psychotherapy is a common modality, but its specific effects on mood variability require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effect of group psychotherapy sessions on mood variability in psychiatric patients.
    • To compare mood score changes on days with and without group therapy.

    Main Methods:

    • Patients in a general hospital psychiatric unit completed Visual Analogue Mood Scales.
    • Mood assessments were taken before and after group psychotherapy sessions.
    • Mood assessments were also taken on control days without group meetings.

    Main Results:

    • Changes in the dispersion of mood scores differed significantly between days with and without group psychotherapy.
    • This difference suggests a measurable impact of the group process on patient mood fluctuations.

    Conclusions:

    • Group process, specifically cohesiveness, is a likely factor influencing mood score dispersion.
    • The study highlights the measurable impact of group therapy on mood regulation in psychiatric patients.
