“…Identifying specific risk factors that may moderate the mental health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic can help inform prevention programs and psychosocial interventions (Duan & Zhu, 2020 ; Olff et al, 2019 ; Van Der Meer, Bakker, Van Zuiden, Lok, & Olff, 2020 ). Lack of social support is one of the most well-established risk factors for unfavourable outcomes after trauma (e.g.…”

Objetivo: mapear a literatura científica produzida sobre aplicativos móveis para a autogestão do tratamento em saúde mental. Método: revisão de escopo realizada em cinco bases em português, inglês ou espanhol em novembro de 2020 com os descritores mental health, mental illness, mental disorder, psychiatric illness, mobile applications, app, self care, self management e self monitoring. Resultados: encontraram-se 46 artigos relacionados, em sua maioria, com desenvolvimento, eficácia, percepção dos usuários ou busca de aplicativos em lojas especializadas e com foco no automonitoramento do humor (13%) ou gestão de doenças mentais, em geral (23,9%). Conclusão: os estudos evidenciaram variedade e eficácia de aplicativos móveis para diferentes transtornos mentais. A construção de novos aplicativos para autogestão em SM deve ser sustentada em evidências, com participação do público e com amostras representativas que, de fato, retratem as expectativas e motivações do usuário para o uso dessas tecnologias na autogestão de seu tratamento.

“…Apps are available to manage PTSD symptoms, yet most have not been evaluated in randomised controlled trials. The exceptions are PTSD Coach, which has demonstrated efficacy (Kuhn et al, 2017 ; Sander et al, 2020 ), whilst SUPPORT Coach has not (van der Meer, Bakker, Zuiden, Lok, & Olff, 2020 ). CBT for PTSD delivered over the telephone achieved significant reductions in PTSD symptomatology in one clinical trial (DuHamel et al, 2010 ), and treatment via video-conferencing has been found to be acceptable to patients (Ashwick, Turgose & Murphy, 2019 ).…”

Delivering trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy to patients with PTSD during the COVID-19 pandemic poses challenges. The therapist cannot meet with the patient in person to guide them through trauma-focused work and other treatment components, and patients are restricted in carrying out treatment-related activities and behavioural experiments that involve contact with other people. Whilst online trauma-focused CBT treatments for PTSD have been developed, which overcome some of these barriers in that they can be delivered remotely, they are not yet routinely available in clinical services in countries, such as the UK. Cognitive therapy for PTSD (CT-PTSD) is a trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy that is acceptable to patients, leads to high rates of recovery and is recommended as a first-line treatment for the disorder by international clinical practice guidelines. Here we describe how to deliver CT-PTSD remotely so that patients presenting with PTSD during the COVID-19 pandemic can still benefit from this evidence-based treatment. Tratamiento remoto del trastorno de estrés postraumático con terapia cognitiva para el TEPT Brindar terapia cognitivo conductual (TCC) centrada en el trauma a pacientes con Trastorno de Estrés Postraumático (TEPT) durante la pandemia de COVID-19 plantea desafíos. El terapeuta no puede reunirse con el paciente en persona para guiarlo a través del trabajo centrado en el trauma y apoyarlo con otros componentes del tratamiento; y por otra parte, los pacientes tienen restricciones para llevar a cabo las actividades relacionadas con el tratamiento y los experimentos de comportamiento que impliquen contacto con otras personas. Si bien se han desarrollado tratamientos de TCC centrados en el trauma en línea para el TEPT, que superan algunas de estas barreras en el sentido de que pueden administrarse de forma remota, todavía no están disponibles de forma rutinaria en los servicios clínicos de los países, como en el Reino Unido. La terapia cognitiva para el TEPT (TC-TEPT) es una terapia cognitiva conductual centrada en el trauma que es aceptable para los pacientes, conduce a altas tasas de recuperación y se recomienda como tratamiento de primera línea para el trastorno según las pautas internacionales de práctica clínica (APA, 2017; International Society of Traumatic Stress Studies, 2019; National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence, 2018). Aquí describimos cómo administrar TC-TEPT de forma remota para que los pacientes que se presentan con TEPT durante la pandemia de COVID-19 aún puedan beneficiarse de este tratamiento basado en la evidencia.
