1School of Nursing, University of Missouri, Kansas, Missouri.
Topic:
Online intervention for school-age youth suffering from symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder.
Purpose:
A review of the evidence was conducted to examine the effects of nonpharmacological interventions available online for a reduction of symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder in school-age youth.
Sources Used:
The search strategy included the databases of Pubmed, PsychINFO, CINAHL, Cochrane Systematic Reviews, and Cochrane Clinical Trials, and Evidence-Based Reviews. A combination of search terms was used to identify studies with database-specific truncations: "Child* and youth* anxiety screen and intervention" AND "meta-analysis", "child anxiety" AND "systematic review", "child anxiety and personal empowerment and SR", "SCARED*", "COPE", and "SCARED* and SR". Studies published between 2007 and 2017 were included for this review. Twenty studies met criteria and represented level one or two using Melnyk and Fineout-Overholt, Level of Evidence Rating System for intervention inquiries.
Conclusion:
Positive outcomes of improved physiological, social, and cognitive development are supported in the studies using cognitive behavior therapy such as the Creating Opportunities for Personal Empowerment (COPE) program. The COPE-online program is a cost-effective strategy to complements models used for early screening and timely interventions for school-age youth who struggle with symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder.
