ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of MoodGYM Internet-delivered Cognitive Behavior-al Therapy in the treatment of anxiety and depression among nurses. Methods A total of 180 nurses with anxiety or depression were randomly divided into three groups,60 in each group,and 2 months of intervention with MoodGYM and health education ( once a week,30-45 minutes each time) in MoodGYM group and health education group,respectively. Another group was as a control group. Before and after intervention,De-pression Anxiety Stress Scale 21 ( DASS-21),Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire ( MSQ) and Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS) were used to evaluate psychological status. Results Compared with pre-interven-tion,the scores of anxiety in DASS-21 ((16. 76±7. 61) vs (9. 67±5. 78),t=21. 339,P<0. 01) and depres-sion in DASS-21 ((13. 86±7. 60) vs (10. 91±7. 12),t=16. 716,P<0. 01) decreased,meanwhile job satis-faction in MSQ((65. 11±11. 12) vs (67. 97±11. 10),t=-16. 400,P<0. 01) and subjective well-being in SHS((17. 67 ± 4. 59) vs (21. 83 ± 3. 53),t=-20. 221, P<0. 01) increased in post-intervention in the MoodGYM group. The scores of anxiety((15. 81±8. 24) vs (12. 45± 7. 68),t=17. 566,P<0. 01) and de-pression((12. 44± 8. 23) vs ( 12. 09 ± 7. 95), t=3. 934,P<0. 01) decreased, meanwhile job satisfaction ((67. 37±9. 76) vs (68. 91± 9. 67),t=-4. 474,P<0. 01) and subjective well-being(( 17. 93± 3. 80) vs (19. 85±3. 96),t=-14. 897,P<0. 01) increased in post-intervention in the health education group. After in-tervention,the effect of improving anxiety, depression, job satisfaction and subjective well-being in the MoodGYM group was more obvious than that in the health education group (P<0. 01). Conclusion -MoodGYM intervention can relieve anxiety and depression of nurses,improve their job satisfaction and sub-jective well-being.
