Feasibility of Empowerment Group Therapy on Ukrainian Adult Outpatients

This single-arm pilot study aims to explore the feasibility and acceptability of the culturally adapted, Ukrainian version of the Empowerment Group Therapy (Wiechers, 2023) manual and accompanying workbook for the Ukrainian population affected by the ongoing war. Feasibility will be evaluated based on participant retention. Acceptability will be assessed through questionnaires and qualitative feedback. The study also gathers preliminary data on the effectiveness of the intervention by assessing changes in quality of life, stress, symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and somatization. Overall, it seeks to explore the relevance and impact of group-based resilience therapy in a conflict-affected setting.
