It has been widely recognized that access to mental health treatment is imperative to address current and long-term stressors for children and parents during COVID-19. Internet-delivered Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (iPCIT, previously referred to as I-PCIT) is a strong model for remote service delivery during social distancing restrictions due to its empirical base. However, this treatment modality was not widely implemented before COVID-19, likely due to barriers to providing telehealth services. This mixed methods study conducted a follow-up survey to gather therapist experiences ( = 223) in delivering iPCIT during COVID-19, including qualitative data on the benefits and challenges to delivering iPCIT. The vast majority of therapists (82%) indicated that they transitioned to deliver PCIT via telehealth in response to COVID-19. PCIT caseloads decreased slightly from the first survey to the COVID-19 follow-up survey, but the racial and ethnic composition of caseloads were not significantly different between the two surveys. Of the 183 therapists who transitioned to deliver PCIT via telehealth, 82% expressed interest in continuing to provide iPCIT following the COVID-19 pandemic. Reported benefits of iPCIT included decreased barriers to access and the ability to practice skills within the naturalistic home environment. Challenges to iPCIT were primarily issues with technology as well as other logistical barriers, which could limit engagement for some families. Findings from this study may be beneficial in improving future implementation of iPCIT during and post-COVID-19.
人们普遍认识到,在新冠疫情期间,获得心理健康治疗对于应对儿童和家长当前及长期的压力源至关重要。基于互联网的亲子互动疗法(iPCIT,以前称为I-PCIT)因其实证基础,是在社交距离限制期间进行远程服务提供的有力模式。然而,在新冠疫情之前,这种治疗方式并未得到广泛应用,可能是由于提供远程医疗服务存在障碍。这项混合方法研究进行了一项后续调查,以收集治疗师在新冠疫情期间提供iPCIT的经验(n = 223),包括关于提供iPCIT的益处和挑战的定性数据。绝大多数治疗师(82%)表示,他们因应新冠疫情转而通过远程医疗提供PCIT。从第一次调查到新冠疫情后续调查,PCIT的工作量略有下降,但两次调查中工作量的种族和族裔构成没有显著差异。在183名转而通过远程医疗提供PCIT的治疗师中,82%表示有兴趣在新冠疫情大流行后继续提供iPCIT。报告的iPCIT的益处包括降低了获得治疗的障碍以及能够在自然的家庭环境中练习技能。iPCIT面临的挑战主要是技术问题以及其他后勤障碍,这可能会限制一些家庭的参与度。这项研究的结果可能有助于改善新冠疫情期间及之后iPCIT的未来实施情况。
