ABSTRACT

Background

Anxiety disorders during pregnancy are associated with poor pregnancy outcomes. Internet-based emotion-focused cognitive behavior therapy (IECBT) with husband participation approach is an alternative treatment for treatment of mental disorders in pregnant women. The study aimed to compare the acceptability, feasibility, and effectiveness of IECBT with husband participation.

Method

In a quasi-experimental study 68 pregnant women diagnosed with anxiety disorders were divided into IECBT with husband participation (n = 34) and IECBT alone (n = 34) and completed the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI-18) Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) and System usability scale (SUS) at baseline and eight weeks after the trial.

Findings

Results showed that acceptability and feasibility of CO-IECBT among women and their spouses were positive. Acceptability with indices, namely women’s satisfaction and average participation in sessions, was greater among IECBT with husband participation participants than among participants in IECBT alone. Feasibility was high for both therapy methods, and no significant difference was observed between the two groups.

Conclusion

This study suggests that both IECBT with husband participation and IECBT alone are effective treatments for mitigating psychological distress in anxious pregnant women.

摘要

背景

怀孕期间的焦虑症与不良妊娠结局有关。丈夫参与的基于互联网的情感聚焦认知行为疗法（IECBT）是治疗孕妇精神障碍的替代疗法。该研究旨在比较丈夫参与的 IECBT 的可接受性、可行性和有效性。

方法

在一项准实验研究中，68 名被诊断患有焦虑症的孕妇被分为有丈夫参与的 IECBT（n = 34）和单独的 IECBT（n = 34），并完成了简短症状量表（BSI-18）客户满意度调查问卷（CSQ- 8) 以及基线时和试验后八周的系统可用性量表 (SUS)。

发现

结果表明，女性及其配偶对 CO-IECBT 的接受度和可行性是积极的。有丈夫参与的 IECBT 参与者的指数（即妇女满意度和平均参与会议）的可接受性高于单独 IECBT 的参与者。两种治疗方法的可行性都很高，并且两组之间没有观察到显着差异。

结论

这项研究表明，丈夫参与的 IECBT 和单独的 IECBT 都是减轻焦虑孕妇心理困扰的有效治疗方法。
