Therapeutic Communication01:30

Therapeutic Communication

Communication is a lifelong learning process. Through therapeutic communication, nurses can collect relevant assessment data, provide education and counseling, and interact during nursing interventions. Sending and receiving messages occur through verbal and nonverbal communication techniques and can happen separately or simultaneously.
Verbal communication depends on language or a prescribed way of using words so that people can share information effectively. The critical aspects of verbal...

Interpersonal Psychotherapy

Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) is a structured, time-limited therapeutic approach initially developed to treat depression. It integrates key concepts from psychodynamic, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioral therapies, making it a uniquely eclectic framework. The therapy is rooted in the interpersonal theories of Adolph Meyer and Harry Stack Sullivan, as well as John Bowlby's attachment theory, and focuses on the interplay between interpersonal relationships and emotional well-being.

Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions

Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:
Modeling in Therapy01:26

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
Participant Modeling
Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in situations...

Area of Science:

  • Digital Health
  • Mental Health Technology
  • Therapeutic Interventions

Background:

  • The field of Internet-supported therapeutic interventions lacks consistent terminology and professional standards.
  • Numerous terms like e-therapy and cybertherapy are used interchangeably, causing confusion.
  • This unstructured nature hinders research and development in online health services.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish clarity and consistency in the terminology used for Internet-supported therapeutic interventions.
  • To propose a structured framework for understanding and categorizing online therapeutic activities.
  • To provide definitions and examples for a nascent field.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature review was conducted.
  • Internet-supported interventions were conceptualized into four primary categories.
  • Definitions and examples were developed for each category.

Main Results:

  • Four categories of Internet-supported interventions were identified: web-based interventions, online counseling and therapy, Internet-operated therapeutic software, and supplementary online activities.
  • Each category is defined with detailed descriptions and examples.
  • A working definition for each category is provided.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed categories offer guiding definitions and terminology for the emerging field of Internet-supported therapeutic interventions.
  • This framework can facilitate future research and development in online mental and physical health.
  • Standardized terminology is crucial for advancing digital health solutions.
