Implication

A single-group study demonstrates improved overall functioning following brief nurse-led behavioral activation for inpatient depression, suggesting feasibility in hospital psychiatric care.

Key Points

To evaluate the clinical effectiveness and feasibility of a brief, nurse-delivered behavioral activation program for hospitalized individuals with depression.
Conducted a single-group pre-post study involving 15 hospitalized patients with depression (14 completed).
Administered four weekly nurse-led behavioral activation sessions alongside usual care, assessing outcomes at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and one-month post-intervention.
Subjective depression scores on the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) changed from 25.60 at baseline to 22.73 post-intervention and 22.06 at one month, showing non-significant improvement.
Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) scores significantly increased from a mean of 40.20 pre-intervention to 57.00 post-intervention (p < .0001).
EQ VAS health status scores showed non-significant improvement from 51.53 at baseline to 52.20 immediately post-intervention and 55.13 at one month.
