Abstract

Introduction: one of the main symptoms among adolescents with severe mental disorder is impulsivity, which is associated with worse emotional regulation, deficits in social skills, decision-making and problem solving, as well as worse stress management. It is necessary a specific intervention due to the serious personal and social implications. Psychosocial interventions may be an appropriate treatment approach for this population. Objective: the aim of the study is to design, implement and evaluate the feasibility and short-term impact of a brief sport-based intervention aimed at reducing impulsivity and related factors in a group of adolescents with severe mental disorder admitted at the Child and Adolescent Day Hospital of Castellón. Methodology: the study involved 6 adolescents age ranged between 13 and 17 years old, 4 females and 2 males, mainly diagnosed with externalizing disorders (83.3%). Results: the results show a clinical improvement after treatment in scores of problem solving, in addition to total, general and, above all, non-planning impulsivity. In addition, the scores in the social skills evaluated increased, obtaining a statistically significant improvement in communication skills and total social skills. Conclusions:  the use of sport in psychosocial interventions with children and adolescents can be beneficial for learning coping skills and is feasible in resources such as day hospitals. Limitations and future perspectives are discussed.
