Självkänsla sedan? En pilotstudie av en KBT-baserad vägledd självhjälpsbehandling över internet för personer med låg självkänsla

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this pilot study was to examine if a CBT-based guided self-help treatment administered online for people suffering from low self-esteem was associated with a change in self-esteem and life satisfaction. The study was quasi-experimental, without control groups or randomization. Participants were measured pre- and post-treatment. The study revealed a result that was statistically significant in the expected direction for all the scales that were used: Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale’s subscales for anxiety (HADS-A) and depression (HADS-D). The conclusions drawn from the study were that it is likely that participation in a CBT-based guided self-help treatment online is associated with a change in self-esteem and life satisfaction for people with low self-esteem.
