Abstract

Purpose: In this review, we aim to determine the efficacy of Solution-Focused Interventions (SFI) among caregivers of persons living with different conditions.

Method: Articles published between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2022 were used. Databases used included EBSCOhost, PubMed, ProQuest, ERIC, and Google Scholar. We used Zotero to remove the duplicate studies. Further, we used the Risk of Bias for RCTs and the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for Quasi-Experimental and non-randomized experimental studies.

Results: Total number of studies from five databases was 2,693. After evaluating the eligibility and duplication removal, 10 relevant articles were found suitable for this review, including 3 RCTs, 3 single group pre-post, 2 quasi-experimental, and 1 each from case study, and multiple baseline designs. Stress, quality of life, and coping variables were studied. Studies compared with alternative treatments: Though 9 out of 10 studies were superior to alternative treatment, and none were equivalent to solution-focused intervention. SFI has shown efficacy on all the variables selected in the study. In these studies, the efficacy is compared with the alternative treatment, and SFI has demonstrated better outcomes than the alternative treatments.

Conclusion: Based on the studies reviewed, robust evidence supports SFI as a treatment approach for caregivers. SFI can also benefit caregivers in shorter sessions, making it more affordable than other treatments.

针对不同病症患者照顾者的解决方案干预的有效性：系统综述。

目的：在这篇综述中，我们旨在确定焦点解决干预（SFI）在不同病症患者的照顾者中的疗效：方法：采用 2000 年 1 月 1 日至 2022 年 12 月 31 日期间发表的文章。使用的数据库包括 EBSCOhost、PubMed、ProQuest、ERIC 和 Google Scholar。我们使用 Zotero 删除了重复的研究。此外，我们还使用了RCT偏倚风险和JBI准实验和非随机实验研究批判性评估清单：来自五个数据库的研究总数为 2,693 项。结果：来自五个数据库的研究总数为 2,693 篇，经过资格评估和重复删除后，发现有 10 篇相关文章适合本综述，其中包括 3 篇研究性对照研究、3 篇单组前后对照研究、2 篇准实验研究以及案例研究和多基线设计各 1 篇。对压力、生活质量和应对变量进行了研究。这些研究与其他治疗方法进行了比较：虽然 10 项研究中有 9 项优于其他治疗方法，但没有一项研究与以解决问题为中心的干预方法相当。自力更生干预对研究中选定的所有变量都有疗效。在这些研究中，疗效与替代疗法进行了比较，SFI 的疗效优于替代疗法：根据所审查的研究，有力的证据支持将自立扶持方案作为护理人员的一种治疗方法。SFI 还能在较短的疗程内使护理人员受益，因此与其他治疗方法相比，SFI 更为经济实惠。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Social Psychiatry, established in 1954, is a leading publication dedicated to the field of social psychiatry. It serves as a platform for the exchange of research findings and discussions on the influence of social, environmental, and cultural factors on mental health and well-being. The journal is particularly relevant to psychiatrists and multidisciplinary professionals globally who are interested in understanding the broader context of psychiatric disorders and their impact on individuals and communities. Social psychiatry, as a discipline, focuses on the origins and outcomes of mental health issues within a social framework, recognizing the interplay between societal structures and individual mental health. The journal draws connections with related fields such as social anthropology, cultural psychiatry, and sociology, and is influenced by the latest developments in these areas. The journal also places a special emphasis on fast-track publication for brief communications, ensuring that timely and significant research can be disseminated quickly. Additionally, it strives to reflect its international readership by publishing state-of-the-art reviews from various regions around the world, showcasing the diverse practices and perspectives within the psychiatric disciplines. This approach not only contributes to the scientific understanding of social psychiatry but also supports the global exchange of knowledge and best practices in mental health care.
