Description:
This study examined the feasibility, safety and efficacy of an 8-week Relaxation Response (RR)-based group.|Twenty-two depressed Chinese American immigrants were recruited. Outcomes measures were response and remission rates, the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression, Clinical Global Impressions Scale, Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support Scale.|Participants (N = 22) were 82% female, mean age was 53 (± 12). After intervention, completers (N = 15) showed a 40% response rate and a 27% remission rate, and statistically significant improvement in most outcome measures.|The RR-based group is feasible and safe in treating Chinese American immigrants with depression.
