Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) for mental health issues has been successfully implemented in routine health care settings, and research indicates that ICBT can also be applied to decrease problematic alcohol use in workplace settings. However, studies investigating the feasibility of implementing ICBT in a workplace setting have been lacking.
The current study aims to investigate the feasibility of delivering ICBT for problematic alcohol use within an employee assistance program (EAP).
The study has a quantitative naturalistic design, quantitively comparing ICBT and face-to-face treatment, and allowing for qualitative interviews with employees and employers. Recruitment of participants follows a five-session in-person psychological assessment at an EAP regarding an employee's presumed problematic alcohol consumption. All assessed employees referred to ICBT or face-to-face treatment will be offered participation in the study. Interviews will be held with employees and their employer representatives following ICBT to elucidate both stakeholders' experience and perception of ICBT and its context. Outcome comparisons between ICBT and face-to-face treatment will be assessed quantitatively using a Reliable Change Index and analysis of variance. Thematic analysis and Grounded Theory will be used to analyze the interview material.
The study is set to begin in April 2020 and to end in September 2021. The aim is to recruit up to 150 participants to the quantitative part of the study and 45 participants (15 employees and 30 employer representatives) to the qualitative part of the study.
The current study will provide knowledge that is lacking and urgently needed on how to implement ICBT for problematic alcohol use in a workplace setting.

基于互联网的认知行为疗法(ICBT)已成功应用于常规医疗保健环境中的心理健康问题,研究表明ICBT也可用于减少工作场所中的问题饮酒行为。然而,缺乏关于在工作场所实施ICBT可行性的研究。
本研究旨在探讨在员工援助计划(EAP)中为问题饮酒提供ICBT的可行性。
本研究采用定量自然主义设计,对ICBT和面对面治疗进行定量比较,并对员工和雇主进行定性访谈。参与者的招募是在EAP针对员工假定的问题饮酒进行的五阶段面对面心理评估之后进行的。所有被评估为转介至ICBT或面对面治疗的员工都将被邀请参与本研究。在ICBT之后,将与员工及其雇主代表进行访谈,以阐明利益相关者对ICBT及其背景的体验和看法。将使用可靠变化指数和方差分析对ICBT和面对面治疗之间的结果进行定量比较。将采用主题分析和扎根理论来分析访谈材料。
该研究定于2020年4月开始,2021年9月结束。目标是招募多达150名参与者参与研究的定量部分,45名参与者(15名员工和30名雇主代表)参与研究的定性部分。
本研究将提供关于如何在工作场所为问题饮酒实施ICBT的缺失且急需的知识。
