Uitkomstmaten
Primaire uitkomstmaten
Victimization, as measured with the Integrale Veiligheidsmonitor (IVM; self-report questionnaire).<br>
Time-points: Baseline, and 12, 24 and 36 months after baseline.
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Depressed patients have a high risk of being violently victimized. This research project aims to examine the (cost-)effectiveness of an online emotion regulation training added to Treatment As Usual in reducing victimization risk in previously victimized, depressed patients.
Doel van het onderzoek
Depressed patients have an increased risk of becoming victim of a violent crime, such as assault, sexual abuse or threat. Emotion regulation is assumed to be an underlying mechanism in both victimization and depression. Emotion dysregulation is considered to be a consequence of prior victimization and a unique predictor of future (re)victimization.
Our research project aims to reduce victimization risk in previously victimized, depressed patients, by developing and implementing an online emotion regulation training that is added to Treatment As Usual (TAU). In this online training, patients will gain control of their negative emotions by learning how to use 4 emotion regulation skills:
awareness, acceptance, analysis and modulation of emotions. Patients will be randomly assigned to either TAU or TAU + online emotion regulation training (ERT).
The main hypothesis of this project is that the addition of ERT to TAU reduces violent victimization risk significantly as compared to TAU alone. Therefore, we expect patients in the TAU+ERT condition to become victim of a violent crime less frequently than patients in the TAU condition in the follow-up period of three years.
Therefore, patients in the intervention group will demonstrate a lower frequency of victimization in the follow-up period of 36 months compared to patients in the control group.
