Abstract
Los programas de tratamiento psicológico
vía internet han tenido un gran desarrollo.
Estos programas varían tanto en sus contenidos
como en sus aspectos formales (textos, videos,
avatares…), por lo que su aceptabilidad
(facilidad de uso, aprendizaje, atractivo…) no
está garantizada y, sin embargo, la aceptabilidad
no suele evaluarse. El objetivo de este trabajo
es la evaluación de la aceptabilidad, por 15
terapeutas y 14 pacientes, de un programa
cognitivo-conductual vía internet para el
tratamiento de la agorafobia (doctoragora.
com/demo). Se elaboró una escala de 10 ítems
que estuvo formada por dos componentes de
aceptabilidad (positivo y negativo). En general,
tanto terapeutas como pacientes tienen una
buena aceptación del programa, aunque los
pacientes señalan una cierta complejidad en su
manejo y la necesidad de mayor aprendizaje. Los
terapeutas indicaron que el programa era muy
extenso. Estos resultados se discuten de acuerdo
con la necesidad de evaluar la aceptabilidad de
cualquier recurso en telesalud.
Internet-based psychological treatments have had a great development. Online therapies are now available for most of disorders and psychological problems. These programs can vary not only in their contents, but also in its formal aspects (texts, videos, avatars ...), so that its acceptability (usability, learning, attractive ...) is not guaranteed and yet, acceptability is rarely assessed. The aim of this paper was to assess, by 15 therapists and 14 patients, a cognitive-behavioral internet-based treatment for agoraphobia (doctoragora.com/demo). A 10-item scale was developed and was formed by two components of acceptability (positive and negative). In general, both therapists and patients have a good acceptance of the program, although patients stated difficulties due to their complexity, and the need for greater learning. Therapists indicate that the program is very extensive. These results are discussed according to the need to assess acceptability prior to using any resource in telehealth.
