Brief Summary

From the last decades, applied approach for the use of augmented reality on clinical and health psychology has grown exponentially. Hence, the present study is aimed to examine the effectiveness of augmented reality for the treatment of borderline personality features in young adults. For the purpose, it is hypothesized that (i) borderline personality features of experimental groups will be reduced in posttest followed by the integration of augmented reality in expressive art therapy (ii) Borderline personality features of experimental group will decrease significantly as compared to control group in the post test followed by the integration of augmented reality in expressive art therapy (iii) Borderline personality feature of self-destruction will be reduced in posttest followed by the integration of augmented reality in expressive art therapy (iv) Borderline personality feature of affect regulation will be reduced in posttest followed by the integration of augmented reality in expressive art therapy and (v) Borderline personality feature of negative self-perception will be reduced in posttest followed by the integration of augmented reality in expressive art therapy. For the present purpose, a total of 20 subjects experiencing symptoms of Borderline personality features will be screened and recruited from the Umeed e Nau clinics of the Institute of Professional Psychology Bahria University Karachi Campus by initial screening of the subjects. Participants will be monitored through pre and post-screening of Borderline Symptoms Checklist assigned to an experimental (treatment group) and control (waiting list) group using convenient sampling. The experimental group will receive the Management plan; which will be comprised of total 14 sessions. The effectiveness of the intervention plan will be measured via quantitative measure (the latest version of SPSS).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Borderline Symptoms Checklist

  The Borderline Symptoms List (Bohus et al, 2007) was used as self-report measure to assess the participants' level of borderline personality features. It is comprised of 95 total items which are rated using a 5-point Likert scale where 0 = not at all and 4 = very strongly. The test is reported to have internal consistency Cronbach's α = 0.97. Moreover, BSL has seven subscales, namely, self-perception, affect regulation, dysphoria, loneliness, intrusions, hostility, and the self-destruction subscale which measures aspects of suicidal ideation, self-harm behavior, longing for death, and fascination with death using 12 items with a Cronbach's α = 0.94.
