ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the operation of Computerized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CCBT) in China for one year,and test the efficacy for Chinese.Methods The data of the users were collected,and the expulsion rate and the characteristics of demographic and disease were analyzed.According to the different items selected by the user,they were divided into the anxiety group (n=897),the depression group (n=674),the insomnia group (n=313),and the forced group (n=229).Anxiety group and depression group were assessed by self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) respectively before each treatment.Results (1)The number of shedding people was 1889,and the loss rate was 71％.The differences of exfoliated rates in different age groups (x2=11.379,P=0.023) and different age groups (x2=19.336,P=0.001) were statistically significant.(2)The user distribution of different treatment groups in different ages (x2 =37.808,P＜0.01) and different incidence (x2 =31.018,P＜0.01) had significantly different.The user distribution of different age groups in the gender distribution (x2 =21.255,P＜ 0.01),whether associated with other mental disorders (x2 =21.885,P＜0.01),and duration distribution (x2 =56.933,P＜0.01) had significant differences.(3) The scores of self rating scale had significant differences in the anxiety group(50.50±15.06,49.19±12.31,49.88±14.26,43.94±14.38,43.56± 16.77,F=3.312,P=0.032) and depression group (58.71± 13.55,55.86± 14.45,53.29± 10.64,49.93± 10.93,47.14±7.177,F=7.423,P＜0.01) before and after treatment.Conclusion The use of CCBT is effective in the Chinese population.Users are concentrated in young patients,first episode patients,and patients with shorter course of disease.
