“…In the field of psychology and psychiatry, eHealth for mental health is much more than just a set of static online website resources providing information about illnesses. In addition to psychoeducation, eHealth for mood ranges from various website interventions, such as Internet programs for symptom tracking and Internet-delivered psychological self-help to online counseling, social media platforms, Internet forums, blogs, virtual reality systems and mobile phones (Parikh & Huniewcs, 2015;Richards 2013). Under the heading of website interventions are tools for providing assessment and symptom tracking, such as a mood diary, and Internet-delivered self-help interventions for mood.…”

“…Today, eHealth encompasses a wide range of different eHealth categories, such as computerized self-help, websites that provide information, social media approaches, Internet chat forums for health-related discussions, personal blogs, videogames, tools to assess symptoms, mobile phone applications, virtual reality systems, and online psychotherapy (Parikh & Huniewcs, 2015;Richards, 2013). Among these, Internet-delivered psychological interventions have been the most evaluated in terms of validity and efficacy, with strong evidence for the use of online interventions in the treatment of various psychological disorders (Parikh & Huniewcs, 2015;Richards, 2013).…”

“…Today, psychological treatments are delivered mainly through the Internet, and very recently via smartphones . They can be used alone, in conjunction with conventional face-to-face treatment or pharmacotherapy, or as an alternative to individual contact with a psychotherapist for those who for various reasons lack access to conventional psychotherapy (Foroushani, Schneider, & Assareh, 2011;Parikh & Huniewics, 2015;Richards, 2013). In remote areas where evidencebased psychological treatment is often not available, Internet-and technologydelivered interventions may be the only means to provide access to psychotherapy.…”

Web-Based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Depressive Symptoms With Minimal Support

Low-intensity interventions for people suffering from depressive symptoms are highly desirable. The aim of the present study was to investigate the outcomes of a web-based acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)-based intervention without face-to-face contact for people suffering from depressive symptoms. Participants (N = 39) with depressive symptoms were randomly assigned to an Internet-delivered acceptance and commitment therapy (iACT) intervention or a waiting list control condition (WLC). Participants were evaluated with standardized self-reporting measures (Beck Depression Inventory [BDI-II], Symptom Checklist-90 [SCL-90], Acceptance and Action Questionnaire [AAQ-2], Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire [FFMQ], Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire [ATQ], and White Bear Suppression Inventory [WBSI]) at pre- and post-measurement. Long-term effects in the iACT group were examined using a 12-month follow-up. The iACT program comprised home assignments, online feedback given by master's-level students of psychology over a 7-week intervention period, and automated email-based reminders. Significant effects were observed in favor of the iACT group on depression symptomatology (between effect sizes [ESs] at post-treatment, iACT/WLC, g = .83), psychological and physiological symptoms (g = .60), psychological flexibility (g = .67), mindfulness skills (g = .53), and frequency of automatic thoughts (g = .57) as well as thought suppression (g = .53). The treatment effects in the iACT group were maintained over the 12-month follow-up period (within-iACT ES: BDI-II, g = 1.33; SCL-90, g = 1.04; ATQF/B [Frequency/Believability], FFMQ, WBSI, AAQ-II, g = .74-1.08). The iACT participants stated that they would be happy to recommend the same intervention to others with depressive symptoms. We conclude that an ACT-based guided Internet-delivered treatment with minimal contact can be effective for people with depressive symptoms.

“…S razvojem digitalnih tehnologija, započeo je i intenzivan razvoj njihove uporabe u psihosocijalnim intervencijama koje se usmjeravaju na mentalno zdravlje, a posljednjih se nekoliko godina sve više primjenjuju i u tretmanu ili kao podrška tretmanu (Richards, 2013;Fairburn i Patel, 2017). Generalno, kako je riječ o relativno novom fenomenu, i prevalencijska, ali i istraživanja usmjerena etiologiji i fenomenologiji problema u svojim su počecima te je za pretpostaviti da je nužno određeno vrijeme da se korpus znanja u području proširi.…”

Internet je u modernom svijetu izuzetno prisutan i često neophodan za obavljanje svakodnevnih obveza. Sredstvo je zadovoljavanja psiholoških potreba te je sastavni dio suvremene komunikacije. U tom kontekstu, ne iznenađuje da dio populacije razvija probleme povezane s njegovom prekomjernom uporabom, a koji mogu voditi i razvoju ovisnosti. No, ne postoji jednoznačna definicija ovog problema niti precizni pokazatelji o prevalenciji i incidenciji, stoga ovisnost o Internetu još uvijek nije uvrštena kao zasebni dijagnostički entitet u međunarodne klasifikacije problema mentalnog zdravlja. Međutim, neosporna aktualnost i raširenost štetnih psihosocijalnih posljedica kod dijela populacije, doveli su do potrebe za razvojem tretmanskih intervencija. U nedostatku domaće literature u ovom području, cilj ovog rada je ponuditi sustavan i sveobuhvatan pregled postojećih tretmanskih pristupa ovisnosti o Internetu, njihovih terapijskih temelja, ključnih izazova tretmana te dostupnih rezultata istraživanja učinkovitosti. Autori se u zaključku reflektiraju na aktualne konceptualne i znanstvenoistraživačke izazove koji predstavljaju prepreke u razvoju tretmanskih intervencija i u zaključivanju o njihovoj učinkovitosti.

“…Pousada, Valiente y Boixadó (2007) señalaron que algunos de los beneficios que tienen las intervenciones en la red son: la accesibilidad, adherencia al tratamiento, menor coste, el anonimato y la flexibilidad, ya que su uso se facilita desde cualquier lugar y momento, evitando el desplazamiento a un lugar específico, siendo posible combinarlo con actividades cotidianas y ofrecer mayor autonomía a la persona. Además, se ha visto que cuando los usuarios acuden a recibir atención presencial, existen diferentes barreras, tales como costos y estigmas, número insuficiente de profesionistas y largas listas de espera (Richards, 2013).…”

El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo evaluar una página web de consejo breve valorando su utilidad, facilidad de uso, actitud, intención de uso, confianza percibida, riesgo percibido, así como por una lista de adjetivos dicotómicos y la identificación de ventajas y desventajas de la misma. Participaron 100 estudiantes de una universidad pública, 50 consumidores de alcohol sin riesgo y 50 en riesgo, quienes después de explorar la página web, la evaluaron considerando las variables mencionadas previamente en una sola sesión. Los datos se analizaron de manera descriptiva y se realizaron pruebas t para grupos independientes, a fin de identificar las diferencias entre los puntajes promedios para algunas de las variables evaluadas. Los datos mostraron diferencias significativas en relación con la facilidad de uso, actitud y confianza percibida entre los grupos; es decir, los universitarios sin riesgo percibieron mayor utilidad y facilidad en el uso de la página con una actitud más favorable, percibiéndola como confiable y sin riesgo de uso en comparación con los de riesgo. En general, los universitarios consideran que la página web puede ser útil, debido a que proporciona información relevante para el usuario sobre el consumo de alcohol.
