Adjustment disorder is among the most often diagnosed mental health disorders. Still, there is a lack of specific interventions available for adjustment disorder.
The aim of this study was to test if an internet-based self-help intervention for adjustment disorder could be effective without therapist involvement.
A parallel group randomized controlled trial design was used to test the effectiveness of the Brief Adjustment Disorder Intervention (BADI) - an internet-based intervention for adjustment disorder.
In total 1077 participants were randomized into two conditions: BADI intervention and BADI intervention with therapist support. The main outcome measures were symptoms of adjustment disorder and well-being.
Pre-intervention to post-intervention adjustment disorder effect size for the BADI intervention group was d = 0.64, and for the BADI with therapist support group the effect size was d = 0.53.
The present study supported the effectiveness of the BADI intervention. Our findings also indicated that adding therapist support to the standard BADI intervention did not significantly improve the outcomes.
适应障碍是最常见的精神健康障碍之一。尽管如此，适应障碍的特定干预措施仍然缺乏。
本研究旨在测试一种基于互联网的适应障碍自助干预措施是否可以在没有治疗师参与的情况下有效。
采用平行组随机对照试验设计来测试Brief Adjustment Disorder Intervention（BADI）的有效性，这是一种针对适应障碍的基于互联网的干预措施。
共有 1077 名参与者被随机分为两组：BADI 干预组和 BADI 干预加治疗师支持组。主要结局指标是适应障碍症状和幸福感。
BADI 干预组的适应障碍在干预前至干预后的效应大小为 d=0.64，而 BADI 加治疗师支持组的效应大小为 d=0.53。
本研究支持 BADI 干预的有效性。我们的研究结果还表明，在标准的 BADI 干预中加入治疗师支持并没有显著改善结果。
