Some patients will need more help than the Internet-based self-help program can offer them and will therefore enter step 2. A strength of this stage of the program is the multidisciplinary approach with a clear distribution of tasks and the nurse accomplishing a coordinating role.
Key elements of the contrast include: - Internet-based self-help program, based on the principles of problem solving therapy versus no self-help program.
Several studies have found that guided self-help is effective for the treatment of minor-to-moderate depression [ 8, 9], including Internet-based self-help [ 10] and meta-analyses have found that the effects of self-help interventions are comparable to those of traditional psychological treatments [ 11, 12].
Another important reason why Internet-based self-help is interesting is that this form of self-help can probably reach many depressed persons who cannot be reached with traditional forms of therapy.
Studies were included if they met the following criteria: The design being a randomized control trail (RCT), focused on effects of telephone or web based interventions, focused on pure telephone or internet-based self-help, provided information on alcohol or tobacco consumption, or gambling behavior, as an outcome, had a follow-up period of at least 3 months, and included adults.
In a first step, all supporters will receive a training of approximately 4 hours in using the internet-based self-help program and on how to write the weekly feedback, based on case material.
Internet-based self-help interventions may have the potential to successfully bridge waiting time for face-to-face outpatient treatment and, thus, contribute to overcoming treatment gaps.
The aim of this study is to analyze the effects and feasibility of an Internet-based self-help intervention (everyBody Plus) specifically designed for patients with Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder and other specified feeding and eating disorders (OSFED) on a waiting list for outpatient face-to-face treatment.
