CONFERENCE ABSTRACT Evidence of the
effectiveness of cognitive behavioral
therapy in hospital environments
The success of the majority of
medical treatments in hospitals depends on how
patients act and how they adhere to the
recommendations of health professionals. In this
presentation, we will present some examples of
psychological interventions with cognitive
behavioral techniques, performed by the team of
Psychology of the Clinical Hospital of the
FMRPUSP. The goal of the interventions was
helped patients to understand and accept their
illness, to learn self-care behaviors, and to
adopt healthier behavior patterns. Individual
and group strategies in patients with chronic
illnesses and undergoing surgery will be shown,
as well as the results of the interventions.
What it is observed is that the patients that
receive psychological attention, have a higher
adherence to treatments, better results in the
medical therapeutics and lower levels of
emotional suffering, what lead to an increase in
their quality of life.
