Abstract

Objective: The efficacy of heal-change group (HCG) intervention-brief trauma-recovery group intervention applying a gender-specific cognitive behavioral approach-for Chinese-abused women in refuge centers was examined in a pretest-posttest comparison study.

Methods: A total of 100 women at three refuge centers in Hong Kong participated. Among them, 50 women from two centers joined the HCG and 50 women from the remaining center participated in a comparison mutual support group. Participants and interviewers were blinded to the group assignment. Both groups were six sessions long. Linear regression analyses were performed using the intention-to-treat framework.

Results: Significant improvements in PTSD symptoms (overall mean change of -1.6, p < .001; subdomain scores; p < .001 to < .01) and depressive symptoms (BDI-II mean change; p < .01) were recorded in the intervention group.

Conclusion: The results suggest HCG is beneficial to Chinese-abused women. Further research is needed to determine the intervention's effectiveness in improving longer-term outcomes in these women.

将中国受虐妇女从刻板印象中解放出来:收容中心团体干预的前测后比较研究。

目的:通过前测后测比较研究，探讨采用性别认知行为方法的治疗改变组(HCG)干预-创伤恢复组干预对收容中心中国受虐妇女的治疗效果。方法:香港三个避难中心共100名妇女参与。其中，来自两个中心的50名妇女加入了HCG，来自另一个中心的50名妇女参加了一个比较的相互支持小组。参与者和采访者对小组分配不知情。两组都是六个疗程。使用意向治疗框架进行线性回归分析。结果:创伤后应激障碍症状明显改善(总体平均变化-1.6,p)。结论:HCG对中国受虐妇女有益。需要进一步的研究来确定干预措施在改善这些妇女的长期预后方面的有效性。
