Evidence-based trauma-focused interventions for treating PTSD in children and youth are barely used in practice. Web-based training has proven to be an effective way of transferring knowledge to healthcare professionals.
TF-CBT Web is a web-based training programme designed to foster the dissemination of Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT) for children and youth, and is run by the Medical University of South Carolina. This paper describes the characteristics of healthcare professionals who registered for the adapted German language version of TF-CBT Web. It evaluates the effectiveness and user friendliness of the programme.
: Similar to the TF-CBT treatment manual, the German language TF-CBT Web contains 12 modules. Between 2018 and 2020, 4,020 users registered for the programme. During the registration process users provided demographic information. The knowledge of users regarding the TF-CBT components was assessed via pre-tests and post-tests in each module.
The programme was accessed by a sample of mostly German users with varying professional health care backgrounds and a wide-ranging spread of work experience. The results indicated a significant knowledge gain and high rates of user satisfaction with the programme.
In summary, the results of this study suggested that web-based training is an effective and well-accepted method for knowledge gain in trauma-focused interventions. Future research should evaluate the actual application of the taught methods in clinical practice.
Children and adolescents with PTSD require trauma-focused treatment. However, evidence-based interventions for this patient population are barely used. Therefore, it is necessary to expand professional training for the treatment of traumatised children and adolescents.Our evaluation showed the effectiveness and feasibility of a web-based training programme for mental health practitioners in an evidence-based treatment for children and youth with PTSD (TF-CBT). Results show a significant knowledge gain of users who participate in the web-based training programme.The user satisfaction survey also revealed that users found the modus and content of the web-based training applicable and relevant for their clinical practice.
循证创伤焦点干预措施在儿童和青少年 PTSD 治疗中的应用很少。基于网络的培训已被证明是向医疗保健专业人员传授知识的有效方法。
TF-CBT Web 是一个基于网络的培训项目，旨在促进创伤聚焦认知行为疗法（TF-CBT）在儿童和青少年中的传播，由南卡罗来纳医科大学运营。本文介绍了注册接受 TF-CBT Web 德语改编版的医疗保健专业人员的特点。评估了该计划的有效性和用户友好性。
与 TF-CBT 治疗手册类似，德语版 TF-CBT Web 包含 12 个模块。在 2018 年至 2020 年期间，有 4020 名用户注册了该项目。在注册过程中，用户提供了人口统计信息。通过每个模块的预测试和后测试来评估用户对 TF-CBT 组件的了解程度。
该计划由具有不同专业医疗保健背景和广泛工作经验的德语用户样本访问。结果表明，该计划的知识收益显著，用户对该计划的满意度很高。
总之，这项研究的结果表明，基于网络的培训是创伤焦点干预措施中获取知识的有效且被广泛接受的方法。未来的研究应该评估所教授方法在临床实践中的实际应用。
患有 PTSD 的儿童和青少年需要创伤焦点治疗。然而，针对这一患者群体的循证干预措施很少被使用。因此，有必要扩大对创伤儿童和青少年进行治疗的专业培训。我们的评估显示，对于儿童和青少年 PTSD 的循证治疗（TF-CBT），基于网络的培训计划对于心理健康从业者是有效且可行的。结果表明，参加基于网络的培训计划的用户的知识显著增加。用户满意度调查还表明，用户发现基于网络的培训计划的模式和内容适用于他们的临床实践。
