Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Well-being, as measured with the Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF).
Psychological complaints as measured with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).
Secondary outcome
The experience of patients and therapists with well-being therapy.
Study objective
Firstly this study tries to answer the question whether applying well-being therapy to outpatients with a mild affective disorder in Dutch mental health care, reveals a trend in which well-being is increased and psychiatric complaints are reduced.
Secondly the intention is to learn more about the experiences of the participants (patients as well as therapists) with this new form of therapy, to be able to carry out further development and adjustments if necessary.
The outcome of this study can be used to account for a randomized controlled trail.
Study design
Participants will be treated with well-being therapy. They will be asked to answer two questionnaires at three specific moments (T0, T1, T2). In total participants will spend a maximum of 75 minutes on the questionnaires over a period of 6 months. Also, one in three participants will randomly be invited to participate in a semi-structured interview.
Intervention
Participants will be treated with well-being therapy, a short-term protocol (6 sessions) in which they will actively focus on the enhancement of well-being.
