Investigating the Effect of Behavioral Activation Training on Suicidal Ideation and Rumination in patients referred to the Emergency ward of a Psychiatric Hospital

Determination the Effect of Behavioral Activation Training on Suicidal Ideation and Rumination in patients referred to the Emergency ward of a Psychiatric Hospital

Clinical trial with control group, Randomized, with parallel groups, unblinded, on 92 patients. The rand function of Excel software will be used for randomization.

By referring to 505 AJA Hospital, two intervention and control groups are randomly selected from among the referring patients who meet the conditions for entering the study, and blinding is not done.

Inclusion criteria: Willing to participate in research, Ability to communicate, Going through an acute period of suicide. Exclusion criteria: Refusal to continue cooperation, Being less than 18 years old and over 60 years old, Alcohol and drugs use.

Intervention group: For the intervention group, 8 sessions of 60-minute weekly Behavioral Activation Training will be conducted face-to-face for two months. Control group: will receive only the usual training.

Suicidal Ideation, Rumination

The sampling method will initially be convenience; The samples will then be placed in quadruple blocks by block random sampling. The blockage is usually used to balance the number of samples allocated to each of the studied groups. This feature helps researchers to equalize the number of samples allocated to each of the studied groups in cases where intermediate analyzes are required during the sampling process. All blocks are the same size, and in this two-group experiment, we will have 4 blocks (including 2 participants in the intervention group and 3 participants in the control group). Random allocation software is also used to randomize random sequence production software (Random allocation software). To conceal, we use Allocation concealment, which refers to the method used to perform a random sequence on study participants, so that the assigned group is not identified before the individual is assigned. Using non-transparent envelopes sealed with random sequences (Sequentially numbered, sealed, opaque envelopes). They are placed in order. In order to maintain the random sequence, numbering is done on the outer surface of the envelopes in the same way. Finally, the lids of the letter envelopes are glued and placed inside a box, respectively. At the beginning of the registration of participants, based on the order of entry of eligible participants in the study, one of the envelopes of the letter will be opened in order and the assigned group of the participant will be revealed.
