ExperimentalTransdiagnostic Unified Protocol
The intervention group will receive the transdiagnostic unified protocol (UP) for anxiety disorders that is developed in this study. The UP is based on CBT model and will last for 8 weeks and there will be a follow-up session after one month. Each session will last 1 and a half hours. The pre-, post- and follow-up tests will be given to them to test the effectiveness of the UP.
Unified Protocol for Anxiety Disorders
The UP is planned in group therapy format and includes interventions on common transdiagnostic features. The sessions in the protocol are planned as follows: Session 1 - Assessment: introduction, talking on group rules and the process, setting goals Session 2 - Psychoeducation: the CBT model is introduced. Session 3 - Emotions: the role of emotions are discussed. Session 4, 5 \& 6 - Thoughts: the role of thoughts...Show More
Active ComparatorClient-Centered Supportive Therapy
The supportive therapy group will also last for 8 weeks and there will be a follow-up session after one month. Each session will last 1 and a half hours. The pre-, post- and follow-up tests will be given to them, too.
Client-centered Supportive Therapy
Client-entered therapy provides a non-directive supportive environment for the participants, that includes reflective listening and nonjudgmental and empathic communication. In this group, no CBT intervention will be applied. Through the supportive and non-directive environment, only the effect of relationship will be investigated as a common factor in psychotherapy.
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Anxiety
Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) scale will be used to measure anxiety level. GAD-7 is a self-report scale consisting of 7 items. It is a 4-point Likert type scale. Items are scored between 0 (Not at all) and 3 (Nearly every day). Scores of 5, 10, and 15 are taken as the cut-off points for mild, moderate and severe anxiety. In the total score, the cut-off score for GAD diagnosis is 10.
pre-test (baseline at Week 1), post-test (at Week 8), follow-up test (1 month after post-test)
Distress Tolerance
Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS) scale will be used to measure distress tolerance level. DTS consists of a total of 15 items. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale range from 1 (Strongly disagree) to 5 (Strongly disagree). A low total score indicates low distress tolerance level.
pre-test (baseline at Week 1), post-test (at Week 8), follow-up test (1 month after post-test)
Intolerance of Uncertainty
Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IUS) - Short Version will be used to measure the level of intolerance of uncertainty. IUS-12 is a self-report scale consisting of 12 items in total. It is a 5-point Likert scale. Each item is scored between 1 (not at all characteristic of me) to 5 (entirely characteristic of me). A high total score indicates a high level of intolerance to uncertainty.
pre-test (baseline at Week 1), post-test (at Week 8), follow-up test (1 month after post-test)
Worry
Penn State Worry Questionnaire will be used to measure the level of worry. PSWQ is a self-report scale with a 5-point Likert-type, consisting of a total of 16 items. Scale items are scored between 1 (Not at all typical) - 5 (Very typical of me). An increase in the PSWQ total score indicates a high level of worry.
pre-test (baseline at Week 1), post-test (at Week 8), follow-up test (1 month after post-test)
Metacognition
Metacognition Questionnaire-30 Short Form will be used to measure metacognitive beliefs. MCQ-30, consisting of a total of 30 items, has a 4-point Likert-type scale. Each item is scored between 1 (Do not agree) and 4 (Agree very much). An increase in scale scores indicates an increase in pathological metacognitive activity.
pre-test (baseline at Week 1), post-test (at Week 8), follow-up test (1 month after post-test)
Depression
Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) will be used to measure the level of depression. PHQ-9 consists of 9 questions which is a 4-point Likert type scale. Each item is scored between 0 (Not at all) - 3 (Nearly every day). As the total score increases, the severity of depression increases.
pre-test (baseline at Week 1), post-test (at Week 8), follow-up test (1 month after post-test)
