简要总结
A total of 131 Australian postpartum women were recruited for this RCT, with 69 randomised to the intervention group (iCBT) and 62 to the control group (TAU). Of these, 46 of 62 women completed the iCBT program and reported high rates of satisfaction. Analyses indicated moderate to large between-group superiority of iCBT over TAU at post-treatment for anxiety, depression, psychological distress, maternal bonding, and quality of life , with gains maintained at follow-up in the iCBT group. After treatment, 63% and 79% of women demonstrated scores below clinical threshold for anxiety and depression, respectively. In contrast, only 42% of the control group had scores below clinical threshold. This study provides preliminary evidence of brief, unguided iCBT for the treatment of postpartum anxiety and depression and has significant implications for increasing treatment accessibility.
