Alicia — 2023-12-30

The increasing number of depressed people in Indonesia has not been matched by the available professionals and services. The development of online technology has encouraged researchers to develop online-based psychological intervention approaches for people to utilize independently (self-help). However, research remains inconsistent regarding the effectiveness of this approach. This study sought to examine the effectiveness of online self-help in reducing depression using a meta-analysis approach. Specifically, we systematically collected and analyzed 16 scientific publications. Findings show that the effectiveness of online self-help interventions in reducing depression is low. This may be due to the influence of several issues, such as the circumstances of the participants and the implementation of the intervention. The results of this study can be taken into consideration for practitioners or for individuals who would like to implement self-help interventions.
