Abstract
In this study the effects of an eating club intervention on loneliness for people with psychotic disorders (HospitaliTY) were examined. Data were obtained via a structured diary technique, the Experience Sampling Method (ESM) using 35 items per assessment measuring loneliness, mood state, interactions and current context/location. All participants were notified to fill in the ESM questionnaire at nine moments throughout the duration of the study (12 months). Notification was on four fixed timeslots a day. This was done for three days consecutively during every moment. The study consists of participants with a clinically diagnosed psychotic disorder (N=43). Participants were either assigned to the intervention (eating club) group (N=27) or control group (WLC) (N=16). We have hypothesized that upon experiencing more loneliness participants will also experience more negative mood. Furthermore, we have hypothesized that loneliness is lower on days of the eating club than days without the eating club. Strong positive correlations were found between loneliness and negative related mood states (e.g. r=0.554, p<0.001 for sadness, r=0.557, p<0.001 for anxiety, r=0.519, p<0.001, for insecurity and r =0.515, p<0.001 for perceived inferiority) and a strong negative correlation was found between loneliness and positive mood (happiness; r=-0,259, p<0.001). Analyses did not show significant changes in loneliness during days with/without the eating club (F=2.275, p=0.690), Results might be influenced by the amount of observations due to the large amount of data per participant and the little amount of observations on days during an eating club. The robustness of the found effects should be focus of further research within this domain.
