摘要:
Objective: Computer-based psychotherapy interventions (CBPIs) are increasingly offered as first-level access to evidence-based mental health treatment. However, their implementation has not been evaluated in public-sector outpatient settings. Methods: An evidence-based CBPI for insomnia was implemented with provider and patient education sessions, on-site Internet access, and clinician telephone support. Persons receiving care at a Veterans Health Administration substance abuse treatment clinic were screened for chronic insomnia and offered CBPI access. The feasibility of this strategy was evaluated in a pre-post design, which assessed engagement and completion rates, participant-reported acceptability, and clinical outcomes. Results: Of 100 veterans referred, 51 enrolled in the program, of whom 22 (43%) completed all sessions, 13 (26%) partially completed the program, and 16 (31%) did not engage. There were no statistically significant differences between these three groups in baseline characteristics. In the total sample, Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) scores decreased (improved) by 32% (mean+/-SD of 6.3+/-6.2 points, t=6.82, df=44, p<.001). Veterans who completed all six sessions displayed clinically and statistically significant improvements on the ISI compared with those who did not engage, as shown in a regression analysis that controlled for baseline insomnia severity, time between assessments, and sedative-hypnotic medication use (F=3.87, df=4 and 40, p <=.004). Among all participants, 67% agreed that they would engage in another CBPI in the future. When questioned about potential barriers, 36% of the full sample endorsed a preference for face-to-face therapy. Conclusions: A strategy of brief provider and patient education, on-site Internet access, and telephone support was feasible and effective for implementing CBPIs in outpatient substance abuse treatment settings for veterans.
