This program encompassed a preinterview and seven 50-minute sessions every 1\u20132 weeks, using worksheets, with homework assignments each day. To examine feasibility, the completion rates of intervention and 3 months of follow-up were examined. To examine the preliminary effectiveness, psychological symptoms were assessed with the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9; primary outcome) and Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) for depression and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) for anxiety. These were evaluated 3 times: before, immediately after, and 3-month post-intervention. Non-parametric tests were used for comparison of scores at 3 time points and calculation of effect size.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S1478951524001445_sec3c\">\n\t    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>Of the 42 bereaved who were contacted, 21 were eligible and 20 were participated, while 19 and 18 were in the completed intervention and completed 3-month post-intervention categories (intervention completion rate was 95% and follow-up completion rate was 90%). PHQ-9, BDI-II, and GAD-7 showed significant reductions immediately and 3 months after the intervention compared to pre-intervention, and the effect sizes were all large after 3 months, although they were less than immediately after (PHQ-9: 0.89, 0.71; BDI-II: 0.88, 0.67; GAD-7: 0.57, 0.53).<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S1478951524001445_sec4d\">\n\t    <jats:title>Significance of results<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>This study indicated that the BA program for the bereaved of cancer patients was feasible and effective vis-\u00e0-vis reducing depressive symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1478951524001445","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,7]],"date-time":"2024-11-07T09:43:03Z","timestamp":1730972583000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Behavioral activation program for reducing depressive symptoms among the bereaved of cancer patients: A feasibility and preliminary effectiveness study in Japan"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-5112-9070","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mariko","family":"Asai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuko","family":"Ogawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1764-1763","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Takatoshi","family":"Hirayama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nozomi","family":"Sukigara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eisho","family":"Yoshikawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sawako","family":"Furutani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1639-3390","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maiko","family":"Fujimori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tatsuo","family":"Akechi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shinichi","family":"Suzuki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1478951524001445_ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/a0025450"},{"key":"S1478951524001445_ref31","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.293.21.2601"},{"key":"S1478951524001445_ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.beth.2015.05.007"},{"key":"S1478951524001445_ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13030-019-0151-6"},{"key":"S1478951524001445_ref38","first-page":"247","article-title":"Development of a Japanese version of the reward probability index and examination of its reliability and validity","volume":"42","author":"Yamamoto","year":"2016","journal-title":"Japanese Journal of Cognitive Therapy"},{"key":"S1478951524001445_ref11","first-page":"83","article-title":"Reliability and validity of a Japanese version of the Valuing Questionnaire (VQ)","volume":"43","author":"Doi","year":"2017","journal-title":"Japanese Journal of Behavioral Therapy"},{"key":"S1478951524001445_ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1447-0594.2011.00772.x"},{"key":"S1478951524001445_ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.beth.2020.04.004"},{"key":"S1478951524001445_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jjco\/hyac025"},{"key":"S1478951524001445_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.beth.2010.05.004"},{"key":"S1478951524001445_ref37","first-page":"96","article-title":"Development of the Japanese version of Behavioral Activation for Depression Scale-Short Form (BADS-SF) and examination of its reliability and validity","volume":"8","author":"Yamamoto","year":"2015","journal-title":"Japanese Journal of Cognitive Therapy"},{"key":"S1478951524001445_ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.beth.2011.04.004"},{"key":"S1478951524001445_ref36","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(12)61552-9"},{"key":"S1478951524001445_ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.brat.2014.07.005"},{"key":"S1478951524001445_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.ajp.161.12.2257"},{"key":"S1478951524001445_ref23","unstructured":"Ministry of Health, Labour & Welfare of Japan.
