Abstract

Emerging research suggests that death anxiety is a transdiagnostic construct, which may underpin a number of mental illnesses. Although cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) has been found to be the most effective treatment for death anxiety, no self-guided treatments for this construct exist at present. Furthermore, there is a growing need for accessible, scalable and cost-effective psychological treatments. To address these gaps, we created Overcome Death Anxiety (ODA), an online CBT-based programme which specifically targets fears of death. ODA was designed to be a fully automated, standalone, yet individualised online treatment. The present study outlines the development and structure of this programme using responses from four users to illustrate feasibility. Research is needed to examine the efficacy and usability of ODA with a larger clinical sample.

克服死亡焦虑:对死亡恐惧的在线认知行为治疗计划的发展

新出现的研究表明，死亡焦虑是一种跨诊断结构，可能是许多精神疾病的基础。尽管认知行为疗法（CBT）已被发现是治疗死亡焦虑最有效的方法，但目前还没有针对这种结构的自我指导治疗方法。此外，人们越来越需要方便、可扩展和具有成本效益的心理治疗。为了解决这些差距，我们创建了“克服死亡焦虑”（ODA），这是一个基于CBT的在线计划，专门针对死亡恐惧。ODA被设计成一种完全自动化、独立但个性化的在线治疗。本研究概述了该方案的发展和结构，使用了四位用户的答复来说明其可行性。需要通过更大的临床样本来检验ODA的疗效和可用性。
