Abstract (Swedish)
Bakgrund: Personer med svår psykisk ohälsa upplever ofta svårigheter med bearbetning och hantering av sensoriska intryck i sin vardag. Detta kan påverka aktivitetsengagemang, leda till mindre upplevd kontroll i vardagen och ökad ångest. I dagsläget är forskning inom sensorisk modulering begränsad och det saknas evidens om mer omfattande interventioner som den nyligen utvecklade interventionen Sensory Awareness Program (SAP).
Syfte: Att jämföra behandlingsresultat av interventionen SAP med befintlig vård, avseende påverkan på upplevd kontroll, ångest och aktivitetsengagemang hos personer med svår psykisk ohälsa.
Metod: Studien är en kvantitativ studie med randomiserad kontrollerad studie-design (RCT) med totalt 22 deltagare. Data samlades... (More)

Syfte: Att jämföra behandlingsresultat av interventionen SAP med befintlig vård, avseende påverkan på upplevd kontroll, ångest och aktivitetsengagemang hos personer med svår psykisk ohälsa.
Metod: Studien är en kvantitativ studie med randomiserad kontrollerad studie-design (RCT) med totalt 22 deltagare. Data samlades in med ett bakgrundsformulär, samt med instrumenten för att mäta ångest, aktivitetsengagemang och upplevd kontroll vid baslinje och uppföljning 10 veckor senare. Icke-parametriska test användes för statistisk analys.
Resultat: Studien visade ingen statistisk signifikant skillnad varken inom eller mellan interventions- och kontrollgrupp gällande nivå av ångest, upplevd kontroll och aktivitetsengagemang. Dock reducerades nivån av ångest i båda grupperna.
Slutsats: Fynden i studien visar på att resultaten inte är tillförlitliga nog för att kunna dra säkra slutsatser om interventionens effekt. Dock verkar interventionen vara av klinisk relevans. Resultaten gav användbar kunskap inför större testning av samma intervention vilket rekommenderas. (Less)
Abstract
Background: People with severe mental illness often experience difficulties with processing and managing sensory input in their everyday life. This can affect occupational engagement and lead to decreased sense of control in everyday life and increased anxiety. However, there is limited research on sensory modulation and more extensive interventions such as the newly developed Sensory Awareness Program (SAP).
Aim: To compare treatment results of the intervention SAP with care as usual, regarding sense of control, anxiety and occupational engagement in people with severe mental illness.
Method: This quantitative study with RCT-design included 22 participants. Data were collected using a background questionnaire, as well as instruments... (More)

Aim: To compare treatment results of the intervention SAP with care as usual, regarding sense of control, anxiety and occupational engagement in people with severe mental illness.
Method: This quantitative study with RCT-design included 22 participants. Data were collected using a background questionnaire, as well as instruments measuring anxiety, occupational engagement and sense of control at baseline and follow-up at 10 weeks later. Non-parametric tests were used for statistical analysis.
Results: The study showed no statistically significant difference either within or between the groups in any of the outcome measures. However, the level of anxiety was reduced in both groups.
Conclusion: The results of this study are not reliable enough to draw conclusions about the effect of the intervention. However, the intervention appears to be of clinical relevance. The results provided useful knowledge for testing the intervention on a larger scale. (Less)
