Improving depressive symptoms in adults with vision impairment: a trial of evidence-based ‘Problem-Solving Treatment’ integrated within low vision rehabilitation services
Summary
The main objective of this thesis was to evaluate the feasibility, effectiveness and implementation of evidence based Problem-Solving Treatment for Primary Care (PST-PC) integrated into low vision rehabilitation (LVR) services. In this model, LVR staff were trained to deliver PST-PC via telephone to adult clients identified as showing depressive symptoms. o achieve the overall study objective, a multi-phase, mixed-methods approach was undertaken. This thesis supports the feasibility, clinical and cost-effectiveness of this integrated model for reducing depressive symptoms experienced by people attending Australian LVR centres.
