Internet-based Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Stress Disorders: a Randomized Trial
13. desember 2019 oppdatert av: Erik Hedman, Karolinska Institutet
Stress disorders in form of adjustment disorder and burnout syndrom are highly prevalent and cause substantial suffering.
Prior evidence suggest that these disorders may be effectively treated with cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), but access to psychological treatment is limited.
One possible solution is to provide therapy via the Internet, which has been shown to be effective for anxiety disorders and depression.
In the present study, we will investigate the efficacy of Internet-based CBT (ICBT) for adjustment disorders and burnout syndrom in a randomized controlled trial (N=100).
Participants will be randomized to active treatment (n=50) or a control condition on waiting list.

Detaljert beskrivelse
Stress disorders in form of adjustment disorder and burnout syndrom are highly prevalent and cause substantial suffering.
Prior evidence suggest that these disorders may be effectively treated with cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), but access to psychological treatment is limited.
One possible solution is to provide therapy via the Internet, which has been shown to be effective for anxiety disorders and depression.
Internet-based CBT can be described as online bibliotherapy with therapist support via a secure messaging system.
In this study psychologists will deliver the treatment.
We will investigate the efficacy of Internet-based CBT (ICBT) for adjustment disorder and burnout syndrom in a randomized controlled trial (N=100).
Participants will be randomized to active treatment (n=50) or a control condition on waiting list.
We expect that participants who receive ICBT will make superior improvements compared to the control condition on measures of stress, burnout, depressive symptoms, general anxiety and general functioning.
