BackgroundAdolescents and young adults are a vulnerable population to both alcohol use disorders and depressive major disorder. Use of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) could help in diminishing depressive symptoms severity as well as alcohol dependence severity.ObjectiveTo evaluate CBT efficacy in young adults diagnosed with major depressive disorder and alcohol dependence.MethodsA number of 12 patients, age 23–35, 7 male and 5 female, outpatients, diagnosed with alcohol dependence and major depressive disorder, moderate or mild episodes, according to ICD-10 criteria, were included in a 3 months CBT oriented program. All subjects were evaluated using a Visual Analogic Scale (VAS) for self-evaluation of alcohol problems severity (score ranging from 0 – absent to 10 – extremely severe), AUDIT scale, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) – 17 items, and Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF). Patients participated in 30 minutes individual CBT sessions, twice per week, for 12 weeks. Cognitive restructuring based on patients’ diary, coping skills training, and activation techniques have been applied in the CBT sessions.ResultsAfter 12 weeks all patients reported decreases on VAS and AUDIT scores, with mean percentages of 55 and 50, while GAF increased with 45%. HDRS scores decreased with 65%. These changes were considered significant when compared to initial values (P = 0.007 for VAS, P = 0.009 for AUDIT, P = 0.012 for GAF and P < 0.001 for HDRS), according to dependent samples t-test P < 0.05, bivariate.ConclusionCognitive-behavioral therapy, focused on cognitive restructuring, coping skills training, and activating techniques is an efficacious intervention in young patients with comorbid depressive and alcohol dependence.Disclosure of interestThe presenting author was speaker for Astra Zeneca, Bristol-Myers Squibb, CSC Pharmaceuticals, Eli Lilly, Janssen-Cilag, Lundbeck, Organon, Pfizer, Servier, Sanofi Aventis and participated in clinical research funded by Janssen-Cilag, Astra Zeneca, Eli Lilly, Sanofi Aventis, Schering Plough, Organon, Bioline Rx, Forenap, Wyeth, Otsuka Pharmaceuticals, Dainippon Sumitomo, Servier.The other author has not supplied his/her declaration of competing interest.

BACKGROUND Ineffective coping has been linked to prolonged pain, distress, anxiety, and depression after a hand and upper limb injury. Evidence shows that interventions based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) may be effective in improving treatment outcomes, but traditional psychological interventions are resource intensive and unrealistic in busy hand therapy practices. Developing web-based, evidence-based psychological interventions specifically for hand therapy may be feasible in clinical practice and at home with reduced training and travel costs. Hand Therapy Online Coping Skills (HOCOS) is a program developed to supplement traditional hand therapy with therapist-assisted coping skills training based on principles from CBT and the Technology Acceptance Model. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to describe the development and assess the usability of HOCOS to support hand therapists in the management of psychosocial problems. METHODS The ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) of system design was applied to create HOCOS. The usability testing of HOCOS involved a 2-stage process. In the first step, heuristic testing with information and communications technology (ICT) experts was completed using two sets of heuristics: Monkman heuristics and the Health Literacy Online (HLO) checklist. The second step involved user testing with hand therapists performing a series of online and face-to-face activities, completing 12 tasks on the website using the think-aloud protocol, completing the system usability scale (SUS) questionnaire, and a semistructured feedback interview in 2 iterative cycles. Descriptive statistics and content analyses were used to organize the data. RESULTS In total, 4 ICT experts and 12 therapists completed usability testing. The heuristic evaluation revealed 15 of 35 violations on the HLO checklist and 5 of 11 violations on the Monkman heuristics. Initially, hand therapists found 5 tasks to be difficult but were able to complete all 12 tasks after the second cycle of testing. The cognitive interview findings were organized into 6 themes: task performance, navigation, design esthetics, content, functionality and features, and desire for future use. Usability issues identified were addressed in two iterative cycles. There was good agreement on all items of the SUS. Overall, therapists found that HOCOS was a detailed and helpful learning resource for therapists and patients. CONCLUSIONS We describe the development and usability testing of HOCOS; a new web-based psychosocial intervention for individuals with a hand and upper limb injuries. HOCOS targets psychosocial problems linked to prolonged pain and disability by increasing access to therapist-guided coping skills training. We actively involved target users in the development and usability evaluation of the website. The final website was modified to meet the needs and preferences of the participants.
