Title: | Self-guided internet administered treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder: Results from two open trials | Contributor(s): | Wootton, Bethany (author); Dear, Blake F (author); Johnston, Luke (author); Terides, Matthew D (author); Titov, Nickolai (author) | Publication Date: | 2014 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.jocrd.2014.03.001 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/19933 | Abstract: | Effective treatments for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) exist, however, many patients experience barriers to treatment. Internet-administered cognitive-behavioral therapy (iCBT), which has the potential to reduce these barriers, has recently been shown to be efficacious in the treatment of OCD. To date, only therapist-guided iCBT interventions have been studied for OCD. Self-guided iCBT, administered without a therapist, may help to further reduce barriers to treatment, particularly for those concerned about stigma or who are unlikely to engage in treatment with a therapist. The present article describes the results of two open-trial feasibility studies that examined the acceptability and preliminary efficacy of fully self-guided iCBT for symptoms of OCD. In both trials scores on the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Inventory-Self-Report and the Dimensional Obsessive Compulsive Scale reduced significantly over time and moderate to large effect sizes were obtained. In trial 1, 29% met criteria for clinically significant change at 3-month follow-up and in trial 2, 32% met criteria for clinically significant change at 3-month follow-up. These results indicate that self-guided iCBT may be an acceptable and effective treatment for some individuals with obsessive-compulsive symptoms. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Journal of Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders, 3(2), p. 102-108 | Publisher: | Elsevier BV | Place of Publication: | Netherlands | ISSN: | 2211-3657 2211-3649 |
