Therapists' positive training evaluations are promising regarding the dissemination of iCBT in daily practice. Organizational support is vital and needs to be attended to when selecting organizations for iCBT implementation.

Implementation Strategies to Enhance the Implementation of eHealth Programs for Patients With Chronic Illnesses: Realist Systematic Review

“…Seven of the 12 included studies used qualitative research design [48,50,52,53,55,58,59], 2 used quantitative design in terms of surveys [51,56], and 3 used mixed-methods design [49,54,57]. Of the final 12 included studies, 2 studies were conducted in the United States [50,54], one in Canada [51], 5 in the United Kingdom [48,52,53,55,59], 2 in the Netherlands [49,56], one in Norway [58], and one in New Zealand [57]. All 12 were published in English.…”

“…Two of the 12 included studies were conducted in early phases of the implementation (ie, up to 3 months after implementation startup) [50,56]. Four studies were conducted 4 to 12 months after implementation startup, defined as middle phase [48,49,53,55].…”

“…Of the 12 included studies, 5 targeted the use of online clinical monitoring programs including patient-provider communication [48,52,53,55,59]. Three studies targeted use of ICBT [51,56,58]. Two used video consultations [49,54], one studied the implementation of both video consultation and ICBT [50], and one targeted online personal health records [57].…”

Uso de Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação no Ensino Sobre Dor: Revisão de Escopo

“…As estratégias de educação mediadas por tecnologia constituem-se como alternativa ao ensino tradicional, visto que reúnem vantagens descritas nos estudos, tais como: flexibilidade temporal (15)(16)18,41,48) , desenvolvimento de autonomia e autoconfiança em relação ao aprendizado (31,(45)(46)(47)(48) , aplicação dos conhecimentos apreendidos no AVA na prática clínica (24) , estudo auto direcionado e centrado no usuário (27-46-18-48) , desenvolvimento de competências e conhecimentos a partir de experiências de aprendizagem ativa (29,35,43) , maior custo benefício para o treinamento de profissionais (19)(20)(21)(22)37,40) , ambiente motivador e engajador (20,45) , facilitação da comunicação entre os cursistas e professores/tutores (19) , ampliação de buscas rápidas por informações (19,48) e atualização rápida e constante de novas evidências científicas (16)(17)(18)(19)40) .…”
