Item Aceptabilidad de un protocolo de intervención psicoterapéutica breve, dirigido a personas que han vivido un evento altamente estresante.(Universidad de Concepción, 2024) Garabito Rifo, Sandra Sonalch; García Martínez, Felipe EduardoBACKGROUND: Highly stressful events are referred to when a situation or event has the potential to generate negative consequences in affected persons, such as the presence of post-traumatic and depressive symptoms. The construction of programs that prevent the appearance of a psychopathological response after these events is one of the challenges we face today. Both the perceptions and acceptability of users and therapists towards intervention programs can influence expected results. The programme is expected to have good acceptability among both users and therapists. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the acceptability of an intervention program with a focus on short systemic therapy. METHOD: A comparative sequential exploratory mixed design was used. In the first quantitative phase, a six-session intervention program was applied, evaluating levels of depressive symptomatology by using depressive symptomatology scales, post-traumatic growth and life satisfaction at two points: before (pre) and after (post) of the intervention. In the second qualitative phase, semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight users and two therapists to deepen experience and perceptions about the program. Finally, qualitative and quantitative results were integrated to categorize findings and understand the overall impact of the intervention. RESULTS: In the qualitative phase, participants expressed a positive assessment of the organized structure of the sessions, highlighting as an important element the empathy of the therapists. It was also mentioned that the use of relaxation techniques and narrative techniques contributed to emotional well-being. In the quantitative phase, there was a decrease in depressive symptoms and an increase in post-traumatic growth and life satisfaction among the eight users. Improvement of indicators of emotional well-being and reduction of post-traumatic and depressive symptoms. CONCLUSION: This study showed that the intervention protocol in Brief Systemic Therapy obtained favorable results for users, who indicated that the structure and techniques used were favorable for their process. Both users and therapists highlighted the therapeutic alliance as an important factor within the intervention. Therefore, the results obtained for the sample of eight users and their two therapists indicate acceptability to the intervention process, which is useful for the proposed objectives. Providing basis for future applications of the protocol in clinical and governmental settings, where the therapist alliance plays an important role.
