Abstract

Spletna samopomoč za spoprijemanje s simptomi depresije predpostavlja, da posameznik preko samostojnega dela na spletu razvija veščine, spretnosti in znanje za spoprijemanje z depresivnimi simptomi. Tovrstne internetne intervence samopomoči so se v tujini izkazale za učinkovite, a se v slovenskem okolju še niso uveljavile. V raziskavi me je zato zanimalo, ali je zdravljenje v obliki vodene spletne samopomoči na slovenski populaciji učinkovito za spoprijemanje s simptomi blage in zmerne depresije in kakšni so sekundarni učinki na pozitivno duševno zdravje ter kvaliteto življenja, povezano z zdravjem udeležencev. Ob tem sem raziskovala tudi medsebojno povezanost osipa in vključenosti udeležencev z merjenimi spremenljivkami. Za namen izvedbe raziskave sem izdelala voden spletni program samopomoči, ki je v celoti potekal preko spleta. V študiji je sodelovalo 19 udeležencev, izmed katerih jih je 10 v celoti izpolnilo intervenco. Udeleženci so pred izvedbo programa in po njegovi izvedbi izpolnili baterijo vprašalnikov, ki je bila sestavljena iz vprašanj za preverjanje sociodemografskih podatkov, vključitvenih kriterijev in Lestvice depresivnosti, Vprašalnika pozitivnega duševnega zdravja ter Vprašalnika o zdravju. Med izvedbo so prejemali tudi krajše tedenske reflektivne vprašalnike. Rezultati so pokazali, da se je pri udeležencih po izvedbi celotne intervence pomembno znižal nivo zaznanih depresivnih simptomov in povišalo pozitivno duševno zdravje, medtem ko sprememba v kvaliteti življenja povezani z zdravjem, ni bila pomembna. Ob tem sem med udeleženci zabeležila visok osip, a hkrati veliko aktivno vključenost preostalih udeležencev. Ugotovitve raziskave moramo interpretirati s previdnostjo, saj raziskovalni načrt ni zajemal kontrolne skupine, hkrati pa je v raziskavi sodelovalo manjše število udeležencev, kar bi lahko ob prihodnjem raziskovanju nadgradili.

Secondary title: Effectiveness of guided internet based self-help program for depression
Secondary abstract: Internet based self-help program for depression assumes that the individual develops the skills and knowledge to cope with depressive symptoms through independent online work. Internet-based self-help interventions have proven to be effective abroad, but have not yet been implemented in Slovenia. In this study, I was therefore interested in whether guided online self-help treatment is effective in the Slovenian population for coping with symptoms of mild and moderate depression, and what are the secondary effects on positive mental health and health-related quality of life of the participants. I also investigated the correlation of dropout and participant engagement with the measured variables. For the purpose of the survey, I designed a guided online self-help program, delivered entirely online. 19 participants took part in the study, 10 of whom fully completed the intervention. Before and after the program, participants completed a battery of questionnaires consisting of questions to check socio-demographic data, inclusion criteria and Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), Positive Mental Health Scale (PMH-scale) and Euro Quality of Life – 5 Dimension (EQ-5D). They also received short weekly reflective questionnaires during the implementation. The results showed that participants experienced a significant reduction in perceived depressive symptoms and an increase in positive mental health after the full intervention, while the change in health-related quality of life was not significant. I noted a high drop-out rate among the participants, but at the same time a high level of active participation among the remaining participants. The findings of the study should be interpreted with caution, as the research design did not include a control group, and the number of participants in the study was small, which could be built upon in future research.
