The effectiveness of brief cognitive behavioral therapy on psychological distress, distress tolerance an‎d suicidal thoughts in depressed individuals with a history of suicide attempt

روان شناسي

Suicide is one of the serious mental health challenges in contemporary societies, an‎d depression is recognized as the most preva‎lent psychological disorder associated with suicidal ideation an‎d behaviors. Depressed individuals with a history of suicide attempts typically experience high levels of psychological distress an‎d an inability to tolerate distress, which serve as risk factors contributing to the escalation an‎d persistence of suicidal thoughts. Therefore, the use of short-term, structured, an‎d evidence-based interventions to improve these conditions is of particular importance. The present study aimed to examine the effectiveness of Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (Brief CBT) on psychological distress, distress tolerance, an‎d suicidal ideation in depressed individuals with a history of suicide attempts, using a single-case experimental design. Participants were selec‎ted through purposive sampling an‎d were assessed across baseline, intervention, an‎d follow-up phases. Research instruments included the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (BSSI), the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), an‎d the Distress Tolerance Scale developed by Simons an‎d Gaher (DTS). The Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy intervention was implemented in the form of eight structured therapeutic sessions. Findings based on visual analysis, within- an‎d between-phase analyses, an‎d the Percentage of Non-Overlapping Data (PND) index for each variable an‎d each participant indicated that Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy was associated with reductions in psychological distress an‎d suicidal ideation, along with a relative increase in distress tolerance. PND results for suicidal ideation an‎d psychological distress fell within the high effectiveness range for most participants, while results for distress tolerance were within the moderate to high effectiveness range. Overall, the findings suggest that Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can be utilized as an effective an‎d practical intervention for reducing suicide-related risk factors in depressed individuals with a history of suicide attempts.
