我们对移动技术对心理治疗和其他行为干预治疗结果的影响进行了荟萃分析。我们对文献进行了检索，得到了26篇实证文章，描述了25项临床试验，这些试验测试了智能手机应用程序、pda或短信系统对补充治疗或替代与临床医生直接接触的益处。总体而言，在所有研究设计和对照条件下，移动技术的使用与良好的治疗结果相关，ES = 0.34, p < 0.0001。对于使用严格的“治疗”与“治疗+移动”设计专门研究移动技术的附加效益的10项研究的子集，效应量只是稍微温和一些（ES = 0.27），但仍然显著（p < 0.05）。总的来说，研究结果支持移动技术在提供心理治疗和其他行为干预方面的作用。
We conducted a meta-analysis on the effects of mobile technology on treatment outcome for psychotherapy and other behavioral interventions. Our search of the literature resulted in 26 empirical articles describing 25 clinical trials testing the benefits of smartphone applications, PDAs, or text messaging systems either to supplement treatment or substitute for direct contact with a clinician. Overall, mobile technology use was associated with superior treatment outcome across all study designs and control conditions, ES = .34, p < .0001. For the subset of 10 studies that looked specifically at the added benefit of mobile technology using a rigorous “Treatment” versus “Treatment + Mobile” design, effect sizes were only slightly more modest (ES = .27) and still significant (p < .05). Overall, the results support the role of mobile technology for the delivery of psychotherapy and other behavioral interventions.
