We investigated the effects of rumination-focused cognitive-behaviour therapy (RF-CBT) in a group format at a primary health care centre on symptoms of depression, anxiety, insomnia, RNT, and quality of life. The participants presented clinical symptom levels of worry and at least two disorders among anxiety disorders, major depressive disorder, and insomnia disorder.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A randomised controlled superiority parallel arm trial was used. 73 participants were included and randomised in pairs to either group-administered RF-CBT or a waiting list condition. The primary outcomes were self-rated worry and transdiagnostic symptoms (depression, anxiety, and insomnia). Intention-to-treat analyses of group differences were conducted using linear mixed models. Adverse side effects and incidents were presented descriptively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Group RF-CBT significantly reduced self-reported insomnia at post-treatment and self-reported insomnia and depression at the 2\u2009month-follow-up, relative to the wait-list control group. There was no significant difference in change in RNT, anxiety, or quality of life.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The current study suggests that group-administered RF-CBT may be effective for insomnia and potentially effective for depression symptomatology. However, the study was underpowered to detect small and moderate effects and the results should therefore be interpreted with caution.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2023.1196945","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,8]],"date-time":"2023-09-08T00:29:10Z","timestamp":1694132950000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Treatment of worry and comorbid symptoms within depression, anxiety, and insomnia with a group-based rumination-focused cognitive-behaviour therapy in a primary health care setting: a randomised controlled trial"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Daniel","family":"Wallsten","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Annika","family":"Norell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Malin","family":"Anniko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Oskar","family":"Eriksson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Varja","family":"Lamour\u00edn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ida","family":"Halldin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tina","family":"Kindbom","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hugo","family":"Hesser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Edward","family":"Watkins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Tillfors","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","volume-title":"Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders","year":"2013"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"10","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jad.2011.01.011","article-title":"Insomnia as a predictor of depression: a meta-analytic evaluation of longitudinal epidemiological studies","volume":"135","author":"Baglioni","year":"2011","journal-title":"J.
