Scientific title | The effectiveness of the Internet 'Self-Examination Therapy (SET)' on anxiety, depression and burn-out: a randomised trial |
Study acronym | SET (Self Examination Therapy) |
Study objectives | The Internet 'Self-Examination Therapy' (SET) on anxiety, depression and burn-out will be effective in reduction of complaints (depression, anxiety, burn-out). |
Ethics approval(s) | Received from the local medical ethics committee. |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Depression, anxiety disorders, burnout |
Intervention | Originally SET was developed as a self-help book which effectiveness has been demonstrated. We developed a Dutch version of SET which can be administered through the Internet. The course takes 4 weeks and about half an hour each day. E-mail contact takes place to assist the participants in accomplishing the course. It is a generic method and it encourages the participants to: 1. Determine what matters to them 2. Think less negatively about things that do not matter to them 3. Invest their energy in things that are important to them 4. Accept situations they cannot change The intervention will be compared to a waiting list control group. |
Intervention type | Other |
Primary outcome measure | Reduction of complaints (depression, anxiety, burn-out). This will be measured at the end of the intervention. |
Secondary outcome measures | Quality of life as measured at the end of the intervention. Furthermore, three months post-intervention a follow-up will take place to test the hypotheses that the reduction in complaints are maintained. |
