Intervenções em TCC baseada na internet com adolescentes: uma revisão sistemática

porcentagens significativas de adolescentes recuperados ou em remissão de um transtorno psicológico. Pode-se concluir, a partir das análises preliminares, que os programas de TCC oferecidos por intermédio da internet parecem constituir modalidade eficaz no cuidado da saúde mental em adolescentes. With the recent technological advance, internet-based CBT emerges as an alternative to the traditional psychotherapy, while being a promising and effective mental health care. Adolescents may engage and benefit from these internet-based programs, but there are still few interventions led with this specific population. In order to investigate the evidences of efficacy of internet-based CBT among adolescents, a systematic review was conducted, while using the Prisma method, on studies published in the last five years on Academic Google, PubMed and Scielo academic data basis. The descriptors used were (“cognitive behavioral therapy” OR “CBT”) AND (“internet” OR “online”). After analysis and application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, 14 studies were selected. No research was found in the Brazilian context. Participants from the selected studies presented significant reductions on symptoms after the interventions; furthermore, half of the publications pointed out that significant percentages of adolescents were recovered or in remission of a psychological disorder. From these preliminary analyses, it may be concluded that internet-based CBT programs seem to be effective models to the promotion of adolescents mental health.
