Facilitating and hindering factors in Internet-delivered treatment for insomnia and depression.

ABSTRACT: Insomnia and depression is a common and debilitating comorbidity, and treatment is usually given mainly for depression. Guided Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (ICBT-i) was, in a recent study on which this report is based, found superior to a treatment for depression (ICBT-d) for this patient group, but many patients did not reach remission.

Aims

To identify facilitating and hindering factors for patients in ICBT-i and ICBT-d and formulate hypotheses for future research.

Method

Qualitative telephone interviews at the time of the 6-month follow-up. Thirty-five interviews were done and analyzed with a grounded theory approach. Based on the qualitative results, an iterative method-triangulation including quantitative and semi-qualitative was performed.
