Effekter av emotionsreglering vid imagery rescripting för social ångeststörning

Abstract (Swedish)
Denna studie syftade till att undersöka vilken effekt en emotionsreglerande åtgärd, administrerad före imagery rescripting (IR), hade för behandlingsutfallet hos patienter med social ångeststörning (SAD). Tidigare forskning har visat att IR är en verksam behandlingsmetod och intervention för att bearbeta och modifiera problematiska inre mentala bilder vid SAD.
Studien genomfördes som en randomiserad experimentell jämförelse mellan två behandlande grupper som båda erhöll IR. Experimentgruppen, erhöll en inledande emotionsreglerande åtgärd i form av visualisering av en trygg plats före IR, medan kontrollgruppen, enbart erhöll IR. Behandlingen genomfördes som en 1-sessionsbehandling för 11 deltagare som samtliga uppfyllde diagnoskriterierna... (More)

Behandlingen genomfördes som en 1-sessionsbehandling för 11 deltagare som samtliga uppfyllde diagnoskriterierna för social ångeststörning enligt DSM-5.
Studien var betydligt begränsad av ett mycket litet urval och av grupper som inte var att betrakta som likvärdiga. Därför är slutsatserna svaga och trevande. Resultaten var emellertid något motstridiga. Inget stöd stod att finna för att åtgärden med trygg plats skulle leda till en bättre effekt av IR utöver den som erbjuds av enbart IR. Likväl visade det sig att tillägget av en trygg plats tenderade att förstärka effekten av IR avseende minskad ångest och frekvens relaterad till aktuell bild.
Studien har sammantaget sörjt för lovande resultat till framtida forskning avseende betydelsen av emotionsreglering som ett sätt att förstärka effekten av IR. (Less)
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of emotion regulation given prior to imagery rescripting, IR, on the treatment outcome in a sample of patients suffering of social anxiety disorder, SAD. Research has shown that IR is an efficient treatment and intervention to process and transform problematic images that occur in SAD.
The study was carried out as a randomized experimential comparison between two groups both receiving IR. The experimental group, received an intervention of emotion regulation consisting of the visualization of a safe place prior to IR, while the control group, received IR alone. The treatment was carried out during one session with 11 participants meeting diagnostic criteria för social anxiety disorder... (More)

The experimental group, received an intervention of emotion regulation consisting of the visualization of a safe place prior to IR, while the control group, received IR alone. The treatment was carried out during one session with 11 participants meeting diagnostic criteria för social anxiety disorder according to DSM-5.
The study was seriously limited due to a very small sample and uncomparable groups. Therefore the conclusions are weak and tentative. The results were somewhat conflicting giving no support to the notion that, in comparison to IR alone, emotion regulation by visualizing a safe place given prior to IR would lead to a larger reduction of symptomatology, memory distress, image vividness, and a more beneficial restructuring of the meaning of images. Nevertheless, on image distress and frequency the added intervention of a safe place tended to enhance the effect of IR.
In conclusion, the study provided some promising leads to future research on the role of emotion regulation as a way to enhance the effects of IR. (Less)
