Jonge adolescente meisjes met depressieve symptomen hebben een verhoogd risico om een depressie te ontwikkelen later in de adolescentie of in volwassenheid. Daarom is preventie in deze risicogroep belangrijk. Het doel van de huidige studie was het onderzoeken van het effect van de Cognitieve Gedrags Therapie (CGT) component van het depressie preventie programma ‘Op Volle Kracht’ (OVK) bij Nederlandse adolescente meisjes met verhoogde depressieve symptomen. In het totaal namen 102 adolescente meisjes (11-15 jaar) deel aan de huidige studie. De meisjes in de experimentele groep (n = 50) volgden de acht CGT-lessen van OVK en rapporteerden hun depressieve klachten één week voor de start van de lessen, na iedere les, na één maand follow-up en na zes maanden follow-up. De meisjes in de controle groep (n = 52) rapporteerden alleen hun depressieve klachten op dezelfde tijdsmomenten als de experimentele groep. Analyses lieten zien dat de afname van depressieve symptomen significant groter was voor de meisjes in de experimentele groep dan voor de meisjes in de controle groep, en dat de meisjes in de experimentele groep op de zes maanden follow-up significant minder depressieve symptomen hadden dan de meisjes in de controle groep. Deze bevindingen laten zien dat de CGT-component van OVK effectief is in het reduceren van depressieve symptomen.

Abstract

Randomized Controlled Trial Testing the Effectiveness of a Depression Prevention Program (‘Op Volle Kracht’) Among Adolescent Girls with Elevated Depressive Symptoms

Young adolescent girls with elevated depressive symptoms are at high risk to develop a depression during adolescence or adulthood. Therefore, prevention of depression in this high-risk group is important. The aim of the present study was to examine the effectiveness of the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) component of the depression prevention program ‘Op Volle Kracht’ (OVK) among Dutch adolescent girls with elevated depressive symptoms. In total, 102 adolescent girls (11-15 years) participated in this study. The girls in the experimental group (n = 50) followed the eight CBT-lessons of OVK and reported depressive symptoms one week prior to the start of the lessons, after every lesson, at one-month and six-months follow-up. The girls in the control group (n = 52) exclusively reported depressive symptoms at the same time points. Latent Growth Curve Modeling showed that the decrease in depressive symptoms was significantly larger for the girls in the experimental group than for the girls in the control group. Furthermore, it was found that at six-months follow-up, the girls in the experimental group had significantly lower levels of depressive symptoms than the girls in the control group. These findings indicate that the CBT-component of OVK is effective in reducing depressive symptoms.
