Abstract: Objectives: Metacognitive training (MCT) for psychosis is a group intervention that combines cognitive‐behavioural therapy and psychoeducation. It has proven efficacy in reducing psychotic symptoms and correcting cognitive biases implicated in the development and maintenance of psychotic symptoms. However, other outcomes, such as patient satisfaction with the intervention, have not been well studied despite their importance for adherence and overall success. A systematic review of randomized clinical trials was conducted to assess satisfaction with MCT among adults with psychotic spectrum disorders. Methods: The search was conducted in Ovid Embase, Ovid MEDLINE, PsycINFO and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL). PRISMA guidelines and the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool were followed, and certainty of evidence was ascertained using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation framework. The study is registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023418097). Results: Patient satisfaction was considered the primary outcome in 3 of the 10 studies reviewed. Four studies compared MCT with other psychosocial interventions (a newspaper discussion group, cognitive remediation and supportive therapy), two of which found significantly higher satisfaction with MCT. A high percentage of all patients found MCT comprehensible and considered it an important part of their treatment; they would recommend the training to others and found the group setting advantageous. Most participants expressed high subjective satisfaction or acceptance of MCT. Conclusions: The authors found evidence that MCT may be associated with high levels of satisfaction in clinical trials whose main objective is to assess patient satisfaction, but more research is needed to consolidate the findings, especially for the extended version of MCT.
