English abstract:
      Background Family factors are known to play a critical role in the development, progression and prognosis of adolescent patients with depressive disorder. Psychodrama group therapy has the potential for bringing about positive change in individual growth and relationship repair, but there is currently insufficient research evidence for the effectiveness of psychodrama group therapy in promoting the recovery in depressive disorder in adolescents through improving the family parenting skills of their parents.Objective To explore the influence of psychodrama group therapy based on family parenting intervention on parents of adolescent patients with depressive disorder, so as to provide references for promoting the recovery for adolescent patients with depressive disorder.Methods Purposive sampling was used to recruit adolescent patients who met the diagnostic criteria for depressive disorder of the International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition (ICD-10) and hospitalized in the psychiatric outpatient department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from October 2023 to March 2024, and their parents (either mother or father) were taken as the study subjects. Psychodrama group therapy based on family parenting intervention was performed once a week for 6 consecutive weeks. After intervention, semi-structured interviews were conducted with parents who participated in the group, and the interviews were recorded. Content analysis method was employed to perform qualitative analysis on the interview recordings and verbatim transcripts.Results After receiving psychodrama group intervention based on family parenting, parents of adolescent patients with depressive disorder demonstrated improvement in emotional state, enhanced reflective ability and altered coping style, which were specifically manifested as reducing negative emotions, increasing positive emotions, reflecting on themselves, empathizing with others, adjusting cognition, changing the way of stress regulation, improving communication styles and actively seeking resources.Conclusion Application of psychodrama group therapy based on family parenting intervention may improve emotional state, reflective ability and coping style of the parents of adolescent patients with depressive disorder.
