- Abstract
[Objectives] The research aimed to explore the effect of narrative therapy on the negative emotion, quality of life, care burden and nursing satisfaction of family caregivers of adolescents with first-episode depression. [Methods] Using convenient sampling method, the family caregivers of the adolescents with first-episode depression hospitalized in the Children and Adolescents Psychology Department of a Grade III Level A hospital in Shiyan City, Hubei Province from July 2021 to April 2022 were selected as the research objects. The coin toss method was used to determine the test group and the control group, with 60 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing care, and the experimental group implemented narrative therapy on this basis. Self-rating anxiety scale, self-rating depression scale, health status questionnaire (SF-36), and caregiver burden inventory were used to evaluate the anxiety and depression level, quality of life, and care burden level of the caregivers before and after the intervention. The nursing satisfaction questionnaire was used to evaluate the nursing satisfaction to the caregivers after the intervention. [Results] After 8 weeks of intervention, 4 cases fell off in the control group and 3 cases fell off in the intervention group. The scores of anxiety and depression in the two groups were lower than those before intervention, and the scores in the test group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The life quality scores of life vitality, emotional function and mental health dimensions were higher than before the intervention, and the scores in the test group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P <0.05). The total score of care burden and the scores in time dependence, development limitation and physiological dimension of the two groups were lower than those before intervention, but the difference was not statistically significant (P >0.05). [Conclusions] Narrative therapy can effectively alleviate the negative emotions of family caregivers of adolescents with first-episode depression, and improve their quality of life and nursing satisfaction, but not their care burden.
