| 总结: | <strong>Background:</strong> A one-to-one cognitive behavioural therapy intervention targeting worry significantly reduces both worry and persecutory delusions (Freeman et al., 2015). <strong>Aim:</strong> To adapt this intervention for group delivery and conduct a feasibility trial within routine clinical practice. <strong>Method:</strong> Thirteen participants were randomized to a weekly 8-session worry intervention group (n = 7) or wait-list control (n = 6). <strong>Results:</strong> All but one participant completed measures at all time points. Participants attended an average of six therapy sessions. <strong>Conclusions:</strong> Recruitment, retention and therapy uptake were feasible. Observed treatment effects were in the expected direction, but may be diluted compared with one-to-one interventions. |
