摘要

Adolescence and emerging adulthood are developmental periods marked by rapid biological, cognitive, and social changes during which emotion dysregulation may intensify and be accompanied by maladaptive cognitive and/or behavioral strategies. This single-arm pilot study evaluated the feasibility and preliminary clinical outcomes of a brief group-based emotion regulation program for adolescents and young adults aged 16 to 20. Forty-six participants were recruited from outpatient child, adolescent, and adult psychiatry services within a university hospital setting. Clinician-administered diagnostic interviews, including the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview and the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM Axis II Disorders, were conducted at baseline only, whereas self-report measures and the Columbia–Suicide Severity Rating Scale were administered at baseline, post-intervention, and at three-month follow-up. Feasibility was supported by acceptability and engagement, reflected in attendance and retention rates. Participants reported a significant increase in adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies (Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire). Suicidal ideation and behaviors showed a marked and sustained decrease over time. These preliminary findings support the feasibility of this brief group-based intervention and suggest potential clinical benefits that would warrant further confirmation in controlled trials.
