Abstract
Aim: Metacognitive Training (MCT) is an effective intervention for treating various psychiatric conditions. This pilot study is a preliminary exploration of the use of an Italian version of MCT-Acute, an adaptation for acute care settings.
Materials and methods: MCT-Acute was administered to inpatients in an acute psychiatric ward, and the outcomes were compared to those of a treated-as-usual (TAU) control group.
Results: The MCT-Acute group showed significantly greater improvements in global functioning (GAF), internalized stigma (ISMI), and social behavior (SBS) compared to the TAU group. The PANSS subscales also improved significantly. At 12 months of follow-up, the MCT-Acute group had a lower readmission rate and better PANSS and GAF scores.
Conclusions: Although preliminary, this study suggests that MCT-ACUTE is a feasible and effective intervention in acute care settings, with benefits that may last months.
