“…It would be useful in future research to examine the capacity of eTAP to predict engagement in e-interventions in both male and older populations, as well as to investigate whether factors associated with adherence differ across the user groups. Despite the limitations of the current study, to the authors' knowledge, the eTAP is the only theoretically based and psychometrically sound instrument to measure factors related to adherence in e-interventions (Wojtowicz et al, 2013; Erdem et al, 2016; Hebert et al, 2010; Schröder et al, 2015).…”

“…The TPB has been used in the prediction of health behaviours such as adherence to diet (White et al, 2010), exercise (De Vivo et al, 2016), and medication (Kopelowicz et al, 2015) and several meta-analyses (Albarracin et al, 2001; Armitage and Conner, 2001) have demonstrated that the TPB predicts intentions and behaviours across a variety of health domains. There have been several attempts to develop scales that apply the TPB model to measure adherence and engagement in e-interventions (Wojtowicz et al, 2013; Erdem et al, 2016; Hebert et al, 2010). However, the available scales have lacked appropriate investigation with regards to validity and structure, and have typically been developed ad hoc, without expert or user input.…”

BackgroundConsiderable evidence supports the efficacy of e-interventions for mental health treatment and support. However, client engagement and adherence to these interventions are less than optimal and remain poorly understood.ObjectiveThe aim of the current study was to develop and investigate the psychometric properties of the e-Therapy Attitudes and Process questionnaire (eTAP). Based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), the eTAP was designed to measure factors related to client engagement in e-interventions for mental health.MethodsParticipants were 220 adults who reported current use of an e-intervention for mental health support. Participants completed the eTAP and related measures, with a subsample of 49 participants completing a one-week follow up assessment.ResultsA 16-item version of the eTAP produced a clear four-factor structure, explaining 70.25% of variance. The factors were consistent with the TPB, namely, Intention, Subjective Norm, Attitudes, and Perceived Behavioural Control. Internal consistency of the total and subscales was high, and adequate to good one-week test retest reliability was found. Convergent and divergent validity of the total and subscales was supported, as was the predictive validity. Specifically, eTAP Intentions correctly predicted engagement in e-interventions with 84% accuracy and non-engagement with 74% accuracy.ConclusionsThe eTAP was developed as a measure of factors related to engagement and adherence with e-interventions for mental health. Psychometric investigation supported the validity and reliability of the eTAP. The eTAP may be a valuable tool to understand, predict, and guide interventions to increase engagement and adherence to e-interventions for mental health.

“…Çevrimiçi sunulan psikolojik yardım hizmetleri danışanların bu hizmetlere ulaşmasını arttırmış olsa da, danışanların ve danışmaların bu hizmetler boyunca teknoloji kaynaklı bazı sorunlarla karşılaşma olasılığı da olabilmektedir (Elleven ve Allen, 2004). Erdem, Bardakçı ve Erdem (2016) Amanvermez, Zeren, Erus ve Genç (2020) çalışmalarında süpervizyon ve akran süpervizyonunun çevrimiçi ortamdan yürütülmesinin psikolojik danışmanlar adına olumlu bir tecrübe olarak görüldüğü sonucuna ulaşmışlardır. Zeren (2015) üniversite öğrencileri ile yaptığı çalışmasındaysa yüz yüze ve çevrimiçi danışanların sorunlarının oldukça benzer olduğu sonucuna ulaşmıştır.…”

Bu sebeple psikolojik danışma uygulamalarına geçmeden önce bu hizmeti alan kişilere süreçte yaşanabilecek teknoloji kaynaklı aksaklıklar ve bu konuda alınabilecek tedbirler, çevrimiçi psikolojik danışmanın avantaj ve dezavantajlarıyla ilgili bilgiler verilebilir ki bu da danışanların süreci yarım bırakmalarının önüne geçebilmek demektir.…”

The core of this study consists of what the online psychological counseling practices as a new study field for the psychological counseling services applied in Turkey are, how it should be, its positive and negative aspects, its History and how the online psychological counseling practice is applied abroad. Although there are very few studies in Turkey related to what the standard and ethical principles of online psychological counseling practices in Turkey should be, it is observed that this service is being provided actively via internet. It is possible to encounter a lot of results when we type 'online psychological counseling' in the Google research engine. In this respect, it is essential to clarify matters such as standards and ethical principles for online psychological counseling practices which are gradually gaining momentum in the practice, specialist training, in what situations and conditions online psychological counseling can be applied. These days, in cases where it is not possible to talk with the clients face to face due to different reasons in the field of psychological counseling, the methods and techniques of reaching out to clients or psychological counselors are being researched. Online psychological counseling is the neglected aspect of the psychological counselor education by the universities in Turkey. It is of great importance for the individuals who will provide this service to be competent and that leading professional associations determine the standard and ethical codes of the practice. Although it is hard to state that there are satisfactory amount of studies in our country regarding the online psychological counseling service delivery, existing studies are valuable for observing the current situation of the online psychological counseling in our country, it would not be inaccurate to assert that as a new field for Turkey, online psychological counseling service, is yet at a crawling stage.

The limited number of studies of online counseling in Turkey (Basak et al, 2010;Bozkurt, 2013;Erdem et al, 2018;Owen & Korkut Owen, 2013;Ozer et al, 2016;Savas & Hamamci, 2010;Tanrikulu, 2009;Zeren, 2014Zeren, , 2015Zeren, , 2017 mainly focused on the opinions of the individuals about online counseling. Additionally, there is no up-to-date study comparing the effectiveness of online and face-to-face counseling in Turkey.…”

Online counseling is a mental health intervention between the counselee and the counselor using digital technologies computers or smartphones. A growing number of counselors have been providing counseling via the Internet. However, there are mixed findings regarding the effectiveness of online counseling when compared traditional face-to-face counseling and other modalities. Thus, the main purpose of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of online individual counseling compared to faceto-face counseling, and a control group regarding subjective well-being. To that end, a total of 60 college students were assigned to one of the three groups (21 online, 24 face-to-face, and 15 control). The instruments of the study were the Satisfaction with Life Scale, the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, and the Brief Symptom Inventory. In order to examine the effectiveness of online counseling comparing to face-to-face counseling and control group, Mixed design (split-plot) ANOVA was employed. The findings of mixed ANOVA revealed that there was no significant interaction effect for the subjective well-being of the participants in different groups indicating that the three groups did not differ regarding subjective well-being scores measured over three times (pre-test, post-test, and follow-up). Nevertheless, the main effect for the group was significant indicating that the scores of the participants in the face-to-face counseling group regarding positive and negative affect changed significantly. Findings and implications were discussed regarding the relevant literature and some suggestions were offered.
