“…Online interventions consist of predominantly self-guided interactive programs designed to produce cognitive, affective and/or behavioural changes [10]. Based on empirically supported face-to-face treatments, most commonly cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), these interventions require active engagement through the completion of web-based worksheets and activities [10].…”

“…Based on empirically supported face-to-face treatments, most commonly cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), these interventions require active engagement through the completion of web-based worksheets and activities [10]. Compared to educational (information only) programs, online self-guided interventions have demonstrated efficacy across a range of psychological health conditions [11,12], including cancer distress [11][12][13].…”

Uptake and adherence to an online intervention for cancer-related distress: older age is not a barrier to adherence but may be a barrier to uptake. 2Uptake and adherence to an online intervention for cancer-related distress: older age is not a barrier to adherence but may be a barrier to uptake. Abstract PurposeWhile online interventions are increasingly explored as an alternative to therapist-based interventions for cancer-related distress, limitations to efficacy potentially include low uptake and adherence. Few predictors of uptake or adherence to online interventions have been consistently identified, particularly in individuals with cancer. This study examined rates and predictors of uptake and adherence to Finding My Way, a RCT of an online intervention versus an information-only online control for cancer-related distress. MethodsParticipants were adults with cancer treated with curative intent. Adherence was assessed by login frequency, duration, and activity level; analyses examined demographic, medical and psychological predictors of uptake and adherence. ResultsThe study enrolled 191 adults (aged 26 -94 years) undergoing active treatment for cancer of any type. Uptake was highest for females and for individuals with ovarian (80%) and breast cancer (49.8%), and lowest for those with melanoma (26.5%). Adherence was predicted by older age and control-group allocation. Baseline distress levels did not predict adherence. High adherers to the full intervention had better emotion regulation and quality of life than low adherers. ConclusionsUptake of online intervention varies according to age, gender and cancer type. While uptake was higher among younger individuals, once enrolled, older individuals were more likely to adhere to online interventions for cancer-related distress.

“…This support can take many forms, including reminders and personalised feedback (Barak et al, 2009). For example, Berger, Hohl, and Caspar (2009) reported that combining I-CBT with therapist contact via email resulted in significant reductions in social anxiety, which was maintained six months after the intervention.…”

“…A falta de consenso nas definições adotadas faz com que termos como web-based therapy, e-therapy, cybertherapy, eHealth, e-Interventions, computer-mediated interventions e online counseling sejam utilizados como sinônimos, quando designam práticas diferentes. Uma padronização da terminologia faz-se necessária para maior discriminação do campo (Barak, Klein, & Proudfoot, 2009). …”

“…Igualmente, o feedback varia em termos de quantidade, frequência e rapidez de resposta. O feedback humano tende a ser mais adaptado às circunstâncias do paciente em comparação com o automático (Barak et al, 2009). …”

A psicoterapia pela internet é uma prática que, no Brasil, só é permitida aos psicólogos na forma de pesquisa. O objetivo do presente artigo foi realizar uma revisão dos estudos em psicoterapia pela internet, discorrendo sobre os recursos e os limites desse atendimento psicológico e suas implicações para a relação terapêutica e para a efetividade do tratamento. São apresentadas questões legais e éticas concernentes à prática. Os resultados apontaram similaridades entre a relação terapêutica online e a presencial, mostrando-se a psicoterapia pela internet efetiva nas mais distintas modalidades, embora a maioria dos estudos seja sobre intervenções cognitivo-comportamentais. As questões legais e éticas podem ser parcialmente solucionadas com diretrizes claras das organizações profissionais e com o treino de terapeutas na modalidade online. Concluímos que a psicoterapia pela internet, embora requeira maiores estudos, anuncia-se como uma prática viável e promissora.
