背景：研究已经开始检查计算机认知行为疗法（cCBT）对儿童和青少年的有效性。虽然cCBT看起来很有希望，但临床医生对儿童和年轻人的这种干预的态度尚未得到评估，但这些对于确定何时以及是否提供cCBT非常重要。目的：调查临床医生对儿童和青少年cCBT的态度。方法：43名精神卫生专业人员参加了一次会议，完成了自我报告问卷。结果如下：临床医生对儿童和青少年使用cCBT持谨慎态度，但总体上持积极态度，特别是在提供预防方案和治疗轻度/中度问题方面。很少有人认为cCBT应该在没有任何专业支持的情况下在网上免费提供。事实上，缺乏治疗关系和专业支持被认为是最大的问题，而在家中使用cCBT的潜力是确定的最大优势。结论：这项调查表明，临床医生对儿童和青少年使用cCBT预防和治疗轻度/中度问题普遍持积极态度。需要进一步的研究来解决临床医生对cCBT对更实质性问题的有效性和所需治疗支持水平的担忧。
Background: Research has begun to examine the effectiveness of computerized cognitive behaviour therapy (cCBT) with children and adolescents. Although cCBT appears promising, the attitudes of clinicians towards this type of intervention with children and young people have not been assessed, yet these are important in determining when and if cCBT will be offered. Aims: To survey clinicians' attitudes towards cCBT with children and adolescents. Method: A self-report questionnaire was completed by 43 mental health professionals attending a conference. Results: Clinicians were cautious but generally positive about the use of cCBT with children and adolescents, particularly for the delivery of prevention programmes and in the treatment of mild/moderate problems. Few felt that cCBT should be available freely online without any professional support. Indeed, the lack of a therapeutic relationship and professional support were identified as the biggest problems, whilst the potential to use cCBT at home was the greatest advantage identified. Conclusions: This survey suggests that clinicians are generally positive about the use of cCBT with children and adolescents for the prevention and treatment of mild/moderate problems. Further research is required to address clinicians' concerns about the effectiveness of cCBT for more substantial problems and the level of therapeutic support required.
