title: [Fostering Resilience while Waiting for Psychotherapy: Evaluation of a Group Intervention in an Outpatient Care Setting].
abstract: Background:High untreated prevalence of mental disorders and long waiting lists for psychotherapy at the same time call for innovative intervention concepts. The positive brief intervention "Personal Model of Resilience" 1 is offered as group training and evaluated for the first time in a naturalistic clinical setting.Method:In a pre-post-design data from 84 wait-list patients are analysed via intention-to-treat (n=84) and completer analysis at 6-week-follow-up (n=54).Results:Repeated measures ANOVAs demonstrate significant improvements in psychopathology, incongruence and self-esteem. Effect sizes range from d=0.30-0.49 at follow-up. Intention-to-treat analyses support these results with significant improvements for all evaluation instruments.Discussion:The "Personal Model of Resilience" is a promising intervention module that may be offered to patients while waiting for psychotherapy.
