为期7天的在线治疗减少了社会焦虑症状,诊断减少了一半,为传统治疗提供了有效、方便的替代方法。 A seven-day online therapy reduced social anxiety symptoms and halved diagnoses, offering an effective, accessible alternative to traditional treatment.

由黑狗研究所Kayla Steele博士和UNSW领导的一项新研究发现,一个为期7天的在线认知行为疗法(iCBT)方案大大减少了社会焦虑症状,并在治疗一个月后将诊断结果减半,其完成率和满意率很高。 A new study led by Dr. Kayla Steele at the Black Dog Institute and UNSW found a seven-day online cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) program significantly reduced social anxiety symptoms and halved diagnoses one month after treatment, with high completion and satisfaction rates. 该研究发表在《焦虑症期刊》上,是首次对这种简短、密集的在线治疗进行随机控制的试验,表明对一些人来说,这种治疗与传统治疗一样有效,特别是在克服成本、时间和获得机会等障碍方面——特别是在农村或偏远地区。 The research, published in the Journal of Anxiety Disorders, is the first randomized controlled trial of such a brief, intensive online therapy, showing it can be as effective as traditional treatment for some, particularly in overcoming barriers like cost, time, and access—especially in rural or remote areas. 该方案以免费的、GP-GP-Thouse Up课程或59个自制版本为基础,通常由私人健康保险覆盖,为管理影响约14%的澳大利亚人的社会焦虑症提供了有希望的、可扩展的选择。 The program, based on the free, GP-referred THIS WAY UP course or a $59 self-guided version often covered by private health insurance, offers a promising, scalable option for managing social anxiety disorder, which affects about 14% of Australians.
