TL;DR: A group CBT intervention improves psychological outcomes in MRKH and may also be applicable to other gynaecological conditions.
Abstract: Background Uterovaginal agenesis (Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome: MRKH) is a congenital abnormality of the female genital tract, characterized by the non-formation of the vagina and uterus. There is a widespread agreement that MRKH has a lasting negative psychological impact on women with this condition, but as yet little is known about how to conceptualize and manage this. We developed a cognitive-behavioural group treatment (CBT) of MRKH. The aim of the present study was to determine whether this intervention, compared to waiting-list control, improves psychosocial outcomes in women with MRKH. Methods After stratifying for age and type of MRKH (simple or complex), 39 women with MRKH were randomized to group CBT (n = 19) or waiting list (n = 20). Outcomes were assessed at pre-treatment, post-treatment (7 weeks) and at 3 months follow-up. The main outcome measure was the Symptom Check-List (SCL-90-R). Other outcomes included impact of event, self-esteem and interpersonal functioning. Results Participants allocated to group CBT showed significantly reduced psychological symptoms on the SCL-90-R and non-significant improvements on all secondary outcomes at the end of treatment and follow-up, whereas those on the waiting list remained unchanged. Conclusions A group CBT intervention improves psychological outcomes in MRKH. This treatment may also be applicable to other gynaecological conditions.

Abstract: In a study of 294 participants the relationship between attitude to leisure time and engagement in leisure activities and psychological and physical health was investigated Using questionnaire methods a consistent and significant relationship was found in that individuals with more positive attitudes towards and engagement in leisure activities experienced less general psychological distress, anxiety, depression, and hostility. They also experienced higher levels of positive affect and reported feeling physically healthier. Leisure measures were also related to levels of achievement motivation. The data points to leisure time behaviour as a rich source of information about coping styles and the positive use of leisure counselling as a therapeutic intervention.
