Since the emergence of psychological interventions delivered via the Internet they have differed in numerous ways.The wealth of formats, methods, and technological solutions has led to increased availability and cost-effectiveness of clinical care, however, it has simultaneously generated a multitude Household of terms.With this paper, we first aim to establish whether a terminology issue exists in the field of Internet-delivered psychological interventions.
If so, we aim to determine its implications for research, education, and practice.Furthermore, we intend to discuss solutions to mitigate the problem; in particular, we propose the concept of a common glossary.We invited 23 experts in the field of Internet-delivered interventions to respond to four questions, and Hot employed the Delphi method to facilitate a discussion.
We found that experts overwhelmingly agreed that there were terminological challenges, and that it had significant consequences for conducting research, treating patients, educating students, and informing the general public about Internet-delivered interventions.A cautious agreement has been reached that formulating a common glossary would be beneficial for the field to address the terminology issue.We end with recommendations for the possible formats of the glossary and means to disseminate it in a way that maximizes the probability of broad acceptance for a variety of stakeholders.
