Motivation, mening och förändring i depressionsbehandling – en kvalitativ studie om patientupplevelser
(2023) PSPR14 20222Department of Psychology
- Abstract
- The purpose of this study was to examine patients’ experiences of psychological treatment for depression, with an emphasis on motivation, meaning, and change. The study used qualitative methods, specifically thematic analysis with a critical realist epistemological foundation. Five adult participants were recruited and interviewed with semi-structured interviewing techniques. The material was transcribed, coded, and compiled into themes. The first main theme was concerned with the process of seeking professional help, the second theme was about the content of therapy itself, and the last theme related events and life circumstances to therapy and perceived mental health. The analysis and discussion highlight the importance of dealing with... (More)

The first main theme was concerned with the process of seeking professional help, the second theme was about the content of therapy itself, and the last theme related events and life circumstances to therapy and perceived mental health. The analysis and discussion highlight the importance of dealing with existential concerns that depressed patients with high degrees of hopelessness and meaninglessness may have, as a part of building a therapeutic alliance. Motivation to change may be created by uncovering repressed feelings that could be made available by discussing fundamental existential realities. The study also identifies possible negative effects on depressed patients’ mental health pertaining to the structure of the healthcare system. Methodology, clinical value, and implications for future research are discussed. (Less)
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka patienters upplevelse av psykologisk behandling för depression, med betoning på mening, motivation och förändring. Studien använde kvalitativ metodik, specifikt tematisk analys med en kritisk-realistisk epistemologisk grund. Fem vuxna deltagare rekryterades och intervjuades semi-strukturerat. Materialet transkriberades, kodades och tematiserades. Det första temat handlade om processen att söka hjälp, det andra temat handlade om innehållet i själva terapin och det sista temat handlade om hur livsomständigheter tycks koppla till terapi och mående. Analysen och diskussionen understryker vikten av att bemöta deprimerade patienter med hög grad av hopplöshet och meningslöshet i deras existentiella... (More)
- Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka patienters upplevelse av psykologisk behandling för depression, med betoning på mening, motivation och förändring. Studien använde kvalitativ metodik, specifikt tematisk analys med en kritisk-realistisk epistemologisk grund. Fem vuxna deltagare rekryterades och intervjuades semi-strukturerat. Materialet transkriberades, kodades och tematiserades. Det första temat handlade om processen att söka hjälp, det andra temat handlade om innehållet i själva terapin och det sista temat handlade om hur livsomständigheter tycks koppla till terapi och mående. Analysen och diskussionen understryker vikten av att bemöta deprimerade patienter med hög grad av hopplöshet och meningslöshet i deras existentiella frågeställningar, som en del av att bygga terapeutisk allians. Motivation till förändring tycks nära sammankopplat med undantryckta känslor som möjligtvis kan tillgås genom att diskutera existentiella grundförutsättningar. Studien belyser också möjlig negativ påverkan på deprimerade individers mående till följd av vårdsystemets strukturella utformning. Metodologi, kliniskt värde och implikationer för framtida forskning diskuteras. (Less)
