Abstract
Objective: To examine the safety and efficacy of a brief cognitive dual-task (using eye movements) add-on module to treatment as usual (TAU) in reducing the severity and frequency of intrusive suicidal mental images and suicidal ideation.
Method: We conducted a single-blind, parallel multicenter randomized trial (No. NTR7563) among adult psychiatric outpatients (N = 91; Mage = 34.4, SD = 13.54; 68% female) with elevated depressive symptoms and experiencing distressing suicidal intrusions in the Netherlands. Primary outcome was the severity (Suicidal Intrusions Attributes Scale) and frequency (Clinical Interview for Suicidal Intrusions) of suicidal mental imagery intrusions at 1-week posttreatment and 3-month follow-up. Primary analysis was intention-to-treat.
Results: Between November 27, 2018 and September 13, 2021, 91 patients were included and randomly assigned to intervention group (Cognitive Dual Task Add-on + TAU) (n = 46) or TAU-only (n = 45). Cognitive Dual Task Add-on + TAU had greater reductions in severity (mean difference, -15.50, 95% CI [23.81, -7.19]; p < .001, d = 0.60), and frequency (geometric mean difference, 0.47, 95% CI [0.29, 0.79]; p = .004) of suicidal intrusions over time than TAU-alone. Cognitive Dual Task Add-on + TAU patients also showed lower suicidal ideation over time (p = .008, d = 0.42). There were no significant group differences in reductions in depressive symptoms, rumination, or hopelessness. Four serious adverse events occurred (three Cognitive Dual Task Add-on + TAU; one TAU-only); all unlikely attributable to intervention/trial.
Conclusions: Findings provide support for the effectiveness of adding a cognitive dual-task module to the treatment of psychiatric outpatients with elevated depressive symptoms in reducing suicidal intrusions and ideation and can be executed safely.

期刊介绍：
The Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology® (JCCP) publishes original contributions on the following topics: the development, validity, and use of techniques of diagnosis and treatment of disordered behaviorstudies of a variety of populations that have clinical interest, including but not limited to medical patients, ethnic minorities, persons with serious mental illness, and community samplesstudies that have a cross-cultural or demographic focus and are of interest for treating behavior disordersstudies of personality and of its assessment and development where these have a clear bearing on problems of clinical dysfunction and treatmentstudies of gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation that have a clear bearing on diagnosis, assessment, and treatmentstudies of psychosocial aspects of health behaviors. Studies that focus on populations that fall anywhere within the lifespan are considered. JCCP welcomes submissions on treatment and prevention in all areas of clinical and clinical–health psychology and especially on topics that appeal to a broad clinical–scientist and practitioner audience. JCCP encourages the submission of theory–based interventions, studies that investigate mechanisms of change, and studies of the effectiveness of treatments in real-world settings. JCCP recommends that authors of clinical trials pre-register their studies with an appropriate clinical trial registry (e.g., ClinicalTrials.gov, ClinicalTrialsRegister.eu) though both registered and unregistered trials will continue to be considered at this time.
