The aim of this paper is to indicate how online cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) training for rural and remote health professionals can enhance access to evidence-based treatments in rural communities and address psychotherapy training shortfalls for rural practitioners treating Australians with high prevalence psychological disorders.
Issues of cost, distance and disruption to services have meant that, until now, it has been very difficult to provide really effective training in evidence-based therapies (in the main, CBT) for Australian rural and remote health professionals. The recent development of online CBT training provides new opportunities. Online training, supplemented by regular supervision, can fulfil many of the functions of face-to-face training at significantly reduced cost. While face-to-face residential workshops will still be necessary to embed new skills, we estimate that online training can reduce the face-to-face time required by at least 50%.
本文旨在说明针对农村和偏远地区卫生专业人员的在线认知行为疗法（CBT）培训如何能够增加农村社区获得循证治疗的机会，并解决农村从业者在治疗澳大利亚高患病率心理障碍患者时心理治疗培训不足的问题。
成本、距离和服务中断等问题意味着，直到现在，为澳大利亚农村和偏远地区卫生专业人员提供真正有效的循证疗法（主要是CBT）培训一直非常困难。在线CBT培训的最新发展提供了新的机会。通过定期监督进行补充的在线培训，可以以显著降低的成本实现面对面培训的许多功能。虽然仍需要面对面的住宿讲习班来巩固新技能，但我们估计在线培训可以将所需的面对面时间减少至少50%。
