Adolescent Psychiatry Inpatients: Self-reported Parent-adolescent Communication Quality and Treatment Outcome
Recruiting now
Conditions studied: Mental Disorder in Adolescence, Depression in Adolescence, Anxiety
In brief
The quality of parent-adolescent communication has been found to be associated with adolescent mental health. However, little is known about the association of parent-adolescent communication and adolescent mental health in the context of psychiatry inpatient treatment. This study aims to find out whether self-reported parent-adolescent communication quality at the time of admission to psychiatry predicts the treatment outcome in terms of symptom reduction 6 months later in an adolescent inpatient sample. It also aims to track changes in adolescent self-reported communication quality in the course of inpatient treatment and afterwards (2, 4 and 6 months after admission) to see whether improvement predicts treatment outcome, with treatment outcome being defined as symptom reduction to baseline. As a secondary endpoint, it will be assessed whether a placement of the adolescent outside the family was considered during treatment and whether self-reported communication quality at the time of admission predicts the consideration of placement outside the family.
