Overview

Observational analysis shows nominal improvements in goal attainment and self-efficacy in assisted living, highlighting challenges for DBT therapies.

Key Points

  • Goal attainment improved significantly post-intervention, with a p-value of 0.040, indicating potential effectiveness.
  • Psychological distress decreased post-intervention as well, with a notable p-value of 0.034 but not sustained after multiple testing corrections.
  • The intervention spanned eight weeks and included group sessions led by psychologists and trained staff, focusing on DBT skills.
  • Preliminary evidence suggests DBT's feasibility in assisted living but emphasizes adapting strategies for long-term care contexts.
