Abstrakt: Objective: Despite evidence validating the diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD) in youth, specifically showing persistence of BPD symptoms and morbidity similar to adults, there is reluctance to diagnose this in teens. Further, there is a belief among many trainees and academic child and adolescent psychiatrists (CAPs) that only specialty programs are effective, leading to treatment delays. This study charts the impact of a full-day workshop offered to an entire academic CAP department.
Methods: A Good Psychiatric Management for Adolescent (GPM-A) Borderline Personality Disorder in-person workshop was offered to department members. Participants were asked to complete a pre-survey, an immediate post-training survey, and a survey at 6 months post-training. Utilizing a Qualtrics questionnaire, both linear mixed-effect models and paired t-tests were used to estimate the immediate and sustained effects of the training.
Results: Thirty-two participants completed the workshop, with 31 answering the pre-survey, 27 the post-training survey, and 23 the 6-month follow-up survey. Immediately after the training and 6 months later, participants demonstrated statistically significant (p < .05) improvements in willingness to disclose the diagnosis of BPD, a reduced negative attitude around BPD, and an enhanced sense of confidence in addressing the needs of adolescents with BPD.
Conclusions: GPM-A training can make a positive impact on groups of clinicians who work with youth who meet criteria for BPD, specifically reducing stigma, encouraging trainees and faculty members to make the diagnosis more readily, and helping them feel more competent in addressing the treatment needs of adolescents with BPD.
