OBJECTIVE To study the feasibility of culturally adapted cognitive behavior therapy for psychosis in low income country. DESIGN Randomized controlled trial. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Karachi, Pakistan in 2014. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Patients with a Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID) diagnosis of psychosis were eligible for the study. Further assessments were completed by using Positive and Negative Syndrome Score (PANSS), PSYRATS (Psychotic Symptom Rating Scales), and the Insight Scale. Participants were randomized into either Culturally adapted CBT group (n = 18) or TAU group (n= 18). Participants in the Culturally adapted CBT group received 12 weekly sessions of manual assisted culturally adapted CBT for psychosis. RESULTS There were no significant differences between the two groups at baseline. At three months follow up there was a significant improvement in the Culturally adapted CBT group on PANSS general Psychopathology subscale, PANSS overall score and Insight scale compared to the TAU group. Culturally adapted CBT group had lower scores on PANSS positive, PANSS negative, and two subscales of Psychotic Symptom Rating Scale as compared to TAU group but differences were not statistically significant. CONCLUSION Culturally adapted CBT added to routine pharmacological treatment was acceptable to patients and was helpful in reduction of severity of symptoms. Adjunctive culturally adapted CBT should be further investigated in this population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
