Depressive Symptoms Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Web and Mobile Guided Psychological Intervention for Depressive Symptoms in Turkey.
The aim of this study is to test the clinical effects of a web and mobile application of guided Problem Solving Therapy for depressive symptoms among the general population in Turkey.
In Turkey, there are serious deficiencies in mental health care. Among these, undertreatment
of mentally ill patients, lack of psychologists and inadequate psychosocial and
rehabilitation options for patients and their relatives are important prohibiting factors
that reduce patients' outreach for getting help. While depression is highly prevalent (4.4%),
only a small number of people seek professional help (18%) in Turkey. Innovative solutions
are needed to overcome this treatment gap. Online Problem-Solving Therapy (PST) is a brief
intervention proven to be effective in the treatment of depression, although little is known
about its clinical effects in Turkey.
The aim of this study is to test the clinical effects of a web and mobile application of PST
for depressive symptoms among the general population in Turkey.
Participants will be recruited through announcements in social media and the Middle East
Technical University. A randomized controlled trial with a sample size of 444 participants
randomized across three groups will be utilized. The first experimental group will receive
direct access to the web version of the intervention; the second experimental group will
receive direct access to the mobile app of the intervention as well as automated supportive
text messages based on PST. The control group consists of a wait-list and for ethical
reasons, participants in this group will gain access to the intervention (either web or
mobile application) four months after the baseline. The intervention is based on an existing
PST for the Turkish population, "Her Sey Kontrol Altinda" (HSKA).
