Abstract

LONDONO ARREDONDO, Nora et al. Effectiveness of a prevention program in mental health by socratic dialogue and critical thinking. Salud, Barranquilla [online]. 2016, vol.32, n.1, pp.1-24. ISSN 0120-5552.  https://doi.org/10.14482/sun.32.1.8516.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of the prevention program by Socratic dialogue and critical thinking, on depression and anxiety. Method: Participants were 110 students who entered their freshman year; an experimental design with experimental and control group was used. Independent variable was Socratic dialogue and critical thinking, and dependent variables were depression and/or anxiety symptoms, and negative, positives and anxious thoughts. Applied instruments consisted on Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), Symptom Check List - 90 Revised (SCL-90R), Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire - Revised (ATQ-RP), and Anxious Self-Statements Scale (ASSQ). Results: By comparisons between the two groups, it was observed the effectiveness of the program in negative thought reduction, although no other effects were identified. Conclusions: Socratic dialogue and critical thinking - like a prevention program - can change negative thoughts in students at freshman year.
