Online psychological interventions to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and general distress in those with chronic health conditions: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

V. White et al.

Summary: This study summarizes the evidence regarding the efficacy of web-based self-directed psychological interventions on depressive, anxiety and distress symptoms in people living with a chronic health condition. The results indicate that web-based interventions are more effective than control conditions in reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and distress across various chronic health conditions. However, the effectiveness for specific health conditions remains inconsistent, and more high-quality evidence is needed to draw definitive conclusions.
