Doel van het onderzoek
There is a need for assistance by primary care mental health workers in general practice in the Netherlands. General Practitioners (GPs) experience an overload of frequent attenders suffering from (co-morbid) psychological problems. For most GPs these problems are complicated to recognize and to refer. PST is a brief and practical skill-building psychological treatment. The treatment has a strict protocol and is based on the principles of cognitive behavioral therapy. PST delivered by nurses seems to be an effective treatment for patients with psychological problems in primary care. This treatment increases the patients skill of structured problem solving and gives back a sense of control. However, research outcomes differ and no systematic review is available. This protocol describes a randomized clinical trial on the effectiveness of PST delivered by nurses for patients in general practice.
