Women in the postnatal period are at a high risk of developing clinically significant symptoms of anxiety. Cognitive behavioural therapy is effective in the treatment of postnatal anxiety; however, there are many barriers to accessing this treatment. This study examined the feasibility and acceptability of transdiagnostic cognitive behavioural therapy delivered remotely via Internet videoconferencing. Three women ( = 28.33 years; = 4.04) with a postnatal anxiety-related disorder were treated using the videoconference-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy. The treatment was delivered once per week over a 5-week period. All participants met criteria for clinically significant change in anxiety symptoms at post-treatment, and one participant met criteria for clinically significant change in depressive symptoms, which was maintained at 3-month follow-up. The intervention was also found to be acceptable by participants. The results provide preliminary feasibility evidence of the clinical utility and acceptability of remotely delivered transdiagnostic cognitive behavioural therapy as an intervention for postnatal anxiety disorders.
产后女性发生临床显著焦虑症状的风险较高。认知行为疗法对产后焦虑症的治疗有效，但获取这种治疗存在许多障碍。本研究旨在检验通过互联网视频会议远程提供的跨诊断认知行为疗法的可行性和可接受性。使用视频会议提供的认知行为疗法对 3 名（年龄 = 28.33 岁； = 4.04）患有产后焦虑相关障碍的女性进行了治疗。治疗每周进行一次，为期 5 周。所有参与者在治疗后焦虑症状均符合临床显著改善标准，1 名参与者符合抑郁症状的临床显著改善标准，且在 3 个月随访时仍保持改善。该干预措施也得到了参与者的认可。结果初步证明了远程提供的跨诊断认知行为疗法作为产后焦虑障碍干预措施的临床实用性和可接受性。
