目的：本研究测试了一个基于计算机的应用程序在面对儿童抑郁症的家庭中的可行性和安全性。《抑郁体验杂志》（EJ）是一种基于叙述模式的心理教育干预，涉及分享童年抑郁的个人故事。方法：采用半结构化访谈法评估抑郁症EJ的可行性和安全性。38名抑郁症儿童的主要看护人（每位患者一名看护人）在精神病住院期间使用了EJ。在使用EJ前和使用后2 ~ 4周进行可行性和安全性评估。结果：结果显示，EJ对于减少社会孤立，增加希望，增加对家庭对儿童抑郁症的感受的理解，以及培养照顾者的积极反应是安全有效的。结论：基于计算机的干预在为面临儿童和青少年精神疾病的家庭提供一种新的社会心理支持方式方面具有重要的前景。
Objective: This study tested the feasibility and safety of a computer-based application for families facing childhood depression. The Depression Experience Journal (EJ) is a psychoeducational intervention based on a narrative model involving the sharing of personal stories about childhood depression. Method: Semistructured interviews assessed Depression EJ feasibility and safety. Thirty-eight primary caretakers of children with depression (one caretaker per patient) used the EJ during a psychiatric hospitalization. Assessment of feasibility and safety was measured before EJ use and 2 to 4 weeks afterward. Results: Results revealed that the EJ was safe and useful for decreasing social isolation, increasing hope, increasing understanding of familial feelings about childhood depression, and fostering positive reactions in caretakers. Conclusions: Computer-based interventions hold significant promise in providing a new manner of psychosocial support to families facing child and adolescent psychiatric illnesses.
