Title: | Self-guided internet-delivered cognitive behavior therapy (iCBT) for obsessive-compulsive disorder: 12 month follow-up | Contributor(s): | Wootton, Bethany (author); Dear, Blake F (author); Johnston, Luke (author); Terides, Matthew D (author); Titov, Nickolai (author) | Publication Date: | 2015 | Open Access: | Yes | DOI: | 10.1016/j.invent.2015.05.003 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/19639 | Abstract: | Internet-delivered cognitive behavior therapy (iCBT) may reduce barriers to treatment faced by people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). To date, most research on iCBT for OCD has evaluated clinician-guided treatments. However, self-guided treatments, which do not involve contact with a clinician, have considerable public health potential and may be particularly advantageous for those patients who report stigma as a principal barrier to treatment. The findings of a recent trial of self-guided iCBT for symptoms of OCD highlighted the potential of this approach and found large within-group effect sizes from pre- to post-treatment on the YBOCS-SR (d = 137), sustained at 3-month follow-up (d = 1.17).1n addition, 32% of participants met criteria for clinically significant change at 3-month follow-up. The present study reports the long-term outcomes of that trial (N = 28). Twelve out of 18 participants (43%) completed the 12 month follow-up. A large within-group effect size was found on the YBOCS-SR (d = 1.08) and 33% met criteria for clinically significant change at 12-month follow-up. No significant changes in symptoms were found between 3-month follow-up and 12-month follow-up, demonstrating that participants maintained their treatment gains in the long term. These results add to the emerging literature supporting the potential of self-guided iCBT for individuals with symptoms of OCD. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Internet Interventions, 2(3), p. 243-247 | Publisher: | Elsevier BV | Place of Publication: | Netherlands | ISSN: | 2214-7829 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 170106 Health, Clinical and Counselling Psychology | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 520302 Clinical psychology 520303 Counselling psychology 520304 Health psychology |
