Preliminary Study

BACKGROUND Internet-based cognitive-behavioural therapy (iCBT) is a necessary step towards increasing the accessibility of mental health services. Yet, few iCBT programs have been evaluated for their fidelity to therapeutic principles of CBT or usability standards. Additionally, many existing iCBT programs do not include treatments targeting both anxiety and depression – commonly co-occurring conditions. OBJECTIVE Evaluate the usability and fidelity of Tranquility, a novel iCBT program for anxiety, to CBT principles, and engage in a co-design process to adapt Tranquility to include treatment elements for depression. METHODS CBT experts (n = 6) and mental health informed peers (n = 6) reviewed the iCBT program Tranquility. CBT experts assessed Tranquility’s fidelity to CBT principles and were asked to identify necessary interventions for depression using two simulated client case examples. Mental health informed peers engaged in two co-design focus groups to discuss adaptations to the existing anxiety program and the integration of interventions for depression. Both groups completed online surveys assessing Tranquility’s usability and the likelihood that they would recommend the program. RESULTS CBT experts’ mean rating of Tranquility’s fidelity to CBT was 91%, indicating a high fidelity to CBT. Five out of six CBT experts and all mental health informed peers (88% of participants) rated Tranquility as satisfactory, indicating that they may recommend Tranquility to others, and they rated its usability highly (M = 76.56, SD = 14.07). Mental health informed peers provided suggestions about how to leverage engagement with Tranquility (e.g., add incentives, notification control). CONCLUSIONS This preliminary study demonstrated Tranquility’s strong fidelity to CBT and usability standards. Results highlight the importance of involving stakeholders in the co-design process and future opportunities to increase engagement.

In the general population, it was found that higher levels of anxiety were experienced by women than men.     Aims : to measure the difference between Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Anxiety (HADS-A) scores in Batak male and female with schizophrenia.   Materials and Methods : This preliminary study was a comparative analytical study with a cross sectional approach involving twenty participants, divided into two groups, Batak male and female in the stabilization phase who were outpatient in Prof.dr. M. Ildrem Mental Hospital Medan. Patient with schizophrenia was filled questionnaire of HADS-A to measure score of anxiety.     Results : There were no statistically significant difference of HADS-A score from Batak male and female with schizophrenia with p value 0,129.  Conclusion : From this preliminary study we found that there was no statistically significant of HADS-A scores in Batak male and female with schizophrenia maybe because of stabilization phase whereas patients has got treatment so the scores of anxiety has decreased.
