This research evaluated the efficacy of a psycho-educational Internet self-help tool to educate and support recently (1-6 months) bereaved individuals. The goal of the website was to help users normalize their grief to enhance their adaptive adjustment. A randomized controlled trial evaluated the gains in social cognitive theory constructs and state anxiety. Compared to the control group (N = 34), treatment participants (N = 33) reported significant multivariate gains (eta-square = .191). Significant program effects were obtained on all three outcome measures: attitude (eta-square = .177), self-efficacy (eta-square = .106), and state anxiety (eta-square = .083). These findings suggest the potential efficacy of an Internet-based grief support tool to enhance adaptive adjustment of the bereaved.
本研究评估了一种心理教育型互联网自助工具对教育和支持新近(1-6 个月)丧偶个体的疗效。该网站的目标是帮助用户使悲伤正常化,以增强其适应性调整。一项随机对照试验评估了社会认知理论结构和状态焦虑的增益。与对照组(N=34)相比,治疗组(N=33)报告了显著的多变量增益(eta 平方=0.191)。在所有三个结果测量上都获得了显著的方案效果:态度(eta 平方=0.177)、自我效能感(eta 平方=0.106)和状态焦虑(eta 平方=0.083)。这些发现表明,基于互联网的悲伤支持工具具有增强丧亲者适应性调整的潜在疗效。
