  This qualitative study explored the experiences of individuals testing a novel internet-delivered acceptance and commitment therapy program (iACT) for patients with mild and moderate depressive disorder. Twelve participants, consisting of one male and 11 females with a history of depression but not currently depressed were recruited. Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted after 14 days of access to the iACT without therapist guidance. By using reflexive thematic analysis three key themes reflecting important aspects of the participants' experiences were created. ‘Theme 1: I would have been too ill to benefit from the program’ points to generally positive sentiments about the program among participants but raised concerns about treatment adherence during a depressive episode. ‘Theme 2: It has the potential to fill gaps in healthcare services’ highlighted the program's perceived role as a supplement to current health services rather than as a standalone intervention. ‘Theme 3: It is not perfect for anyone’ underscored the participants different views on how their personal needs would be met by this program and the lack of tailoring to individual preferences. These findings provide valuable insights for refining future internet-delivered intervention development targeting patients with depression or other mental health challenges.

  Introduction: Guided internet-delivered therapy has shown promising results for patients with mild and moderate depressive disorder, but several challenges with the format have been reported. The aim of this qualitative study was to investigate therapists’ experiences providing guided internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy for patients with mild and moderate depression. Material and methods: Twelve therapists were interviewed, and the interviews were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Results and conclusion: Three themes were created: (1) For the right person, at the right time. This theme is about therapists’ experiences appointing patients to the program. It is challenging to predict which patients will benefit from it, and it is not the right option for all patients. (2) It is not like chatting on Facebook. The second theme was about the experiences with demands on clinics, therapists and patients that must be considered. The internet-delivered treatment should not be viewed as a simple treatment option, and the value of having contact with the patients during treatment was emphasized. (3) It is like a railroad, but without the switches. This theme was about the experiences with how the treatment content was conveyed to the patients, how the therapists expressed concerns with the usability of the program and the reported need for more possibilities in tailoring treatment for each patient.

  Background: Studies on guided internet-delivered treatment have demonstrated promising results for patients with depressive disorder. Objective: The aim of this study was to provide an overview of this research area and identify potential gaps in the research. Methods: In this scoping review, web-based databases were used to identify research papers published between 2010 and 2022 where guided internet-delivered treatment was administered to participants with depressive disorders, a standardized rating scale of depressive symptoms was used as the primary outcome measure, and the treatment was compared with a control condition. Results: A total of 111 studies were included, and an overview of the studies was provided. Several gaps in the research were identified regarding the design of the studies, treatments delivered, participant representation, and treatment completion. Conclusions: This review provides a comprehensive overview of the research area, and several research gaps were identified. The use of other designs and active control conditions is recommended. Future studies should provide access to treatment manuals, and more replications should be conducted. Researchers should aim to include underrepresented populations and provide reports of comorbidities. Definitions of adequate dosage, reports of completion rates, and reasons for treatment dropout are recommended for future studies.

  Internet-delivered treatment for patients with depressive disorders is evaluated as an effective and flexible treatment approach. Worldwide, the number of individuals with depressive disorders is increasing, and there is a considerable gap between the number of people in need of treatment and available treatment. Delivering treatments over the internet is proposed as a potential solution to bridge this treatment gap. These treatments have been reported to have both benefits and challenges. This thesis aimed to investigate therapist-guided internet-delivered treatments for depression, focusing on essential aspects to consider when studying, providing, and developing these interventions to complement studies of treatment effects. Three research questions were posed: 1) How have therapist-guided internet-delivered treatments for depression been studied, and are there any gaps in the research? 2) How do therapists experience providing therapist-guided internet-delivered treatment for patients with depression? 3) How do participants with personal experience of depression view a new internet-delivered acceptance and commitment therapy program for depression? Three studies were conducted to answer these questions. Study I is a scoping review, where 111 studies on guided internet-delivered treatment for depression were identified. Several research gaps were uncovered regarding how the studies were designed, the treatment approaches tested, the representation of participants, and how treatment completion was defined and reported. In Study II, therapists with clinical experience of the treatment program “eCoping” were interviewed about providing this treatment. The therapists described that predicting which patients would benefit from the program was complex. The program was experienced as putting high demands on patients, therapists, and clinics. Furthermore, it was emphasized that the program would not be a good fit for every patient, and the lack of possibilities to tailor the treatment was described as a challenge. In Study III, participants with personal experience of depression were interviewed about their views of an internet-delivered acceptance and commitment therapy program. The impact depressive symptoms could have on adherence to the treatment was emphasized. Combining the program with other treatments was viewed as an acceptable and good treatment option, but the program was viewed as insufficient as a standalone program. The participants also expressed the need for personalized treatment and raised concerns about the program’s standardized format. Altogether, the work in this thesis provides a comprehensive insight into vital aspects to consider when studying, providing, and developing internet-delivered interventions. This could be a valuable contribution to a research field aiming to address an increasing treatment gap.
