Development of Self-Help Based Online Psychosocial Support Platform

Öz

The aim of this study is to describe the studies on the development and pre-evaluation of the Self-Help Based Online Psychosocial Support (KKY) platform during the pandemic process and to share the general features of the application. The KKY platform has emerged as a result of the pandemic, the need for individuals to seek psychological help and the intensification of their efforts in this direction. Analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation steps of the ADDIE design model were followed in the KKY platform development studies. As a result of the studies, an internet-based self-help application developed based on the cognitive behavioral therapy approach, which aims to support users in coping with the increasing psychological symptoms during the pandemic process, has emerged. There are three modules on depressive mood, anxiety and stress and a relaxation exercise module within the platform. Each of the modules consists of five session contents that are created in stages. In the content of the modules, there are informative texts, animations for psychoeducational purposes, question lists that evaluate the symptom level, forms that the user can fill in himself, and mini-tests that evaluate the level of knowledge. Individuals who want to use the platform access the platform at https://kendineyardim.anadolu.edu.tr and first create a user registration. Afterwards, they complete the measurement tool that measures psychological symptom levels and start working on the module contents. KKY Platform, which is a self-help intervention without expert support, is an application that will support users in coping with psychological symptoms.

Kendi Kendine Yardım Temelli Çevrimiçi Psikososyal Destek Platformunun Geliştirilmesi

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Kendi Kendine Yardım Temelli Çevrimiçi Psikososyal Destek (KKY) platformunun pandemi sürecinde geliştirilmesine ve ön değerlendirmesinin yapılmasına yönelik çalışmaları betimlemek ve uygulamanın genel özelliklerini paylaşmaktır. KKY platformu, pandemi ile birlikte bireylerin psikolojik yardım arama ihtiyacının belirginleşmesi ve bu yönde çabalarının yoğunlaşması sonucu ortaya çıkmıştır. KKY platformu geliştirme çalışmalarında ADDIE tasarım modelinin analiz, tasarım, geliştirme, uygulama ve değerlendirme basamakları izlenmiştir. Çalışmalar sonucunda, pandemi sürecinde artış gösteren psikolojik belirtilerle başa çıkma konusunda kullanıcılara destek olmayı amaçlayan, bilişsel davranışçı terapi yaklaşımına dayalı olarak geliştirilmiş, internet tabanlı bir kendi kendine yardım uygulaması ortaya çıkmıştır. Platform içerisinde depresif duygudurum, kaygı ve stres konularını içeren üç modül ve bir gevşeme egzersizi alanı mevcuttur. Modüllerin her biri aşamalı biçimde oluşturulmuş beş oturum içeriğinden oluşmaktadır. Modüllerin içeriğinde ise bilgilendirici metinler, psikoeğitim amaçlı animasyonlar, belirti düzeyini değerlendiren soru listeleri, kullanıcının kendi kendine doldurabileceği formlar ve bilgi düzeyini değerlendiren mini testler yer almaktadır. Platformu kullanmak isteyen bireyler, https://kendikendineyardim.anadolu.edu.tr ve http://www.kendikendineyardim.org adresinden platforma erişim sağlamakta ve öncelikle kullanıcı kaydı oluşturmaktadırlar. Sonrasında psikolojik belirti düzeylerini ölçen ölçme aracını tamamlayarak modül içeriklerinde çalışmaya başlamaktadırlar. Uzman desteksiz bir kendi kendine yardım müdahalesi olan KKY Platformu psikolojik belirtilerle başa çıkmada kullanıcılara destek olacak bir uygulamadır.
