Development and Validation of Psycho-Social Program (PSP)
Sponsor: Government College University Faisalabad
Summary
The study aims to determine the effectiveness of a structured psycho-social program (PSP) in improving mental health outcomes among patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The intervention is designed to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and diabetes-related distress (DD) by addressing maladaptive thoughts, emotional responses, and coping behaviors associated with chronic illness management. Through structured sessions incorporating cognitive restructuring, stress management techniques, behavioral activation, and adaptive coping strategies, participants will learn to manage emotional distress more effectively while improving treatment adherence and daily functioning. The intervention is expected to enhance psychological well-being, promote healthier coping mechanisms, and support better overall adjustment to living with T2DM.
