Abstract

Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is a common mental health condition that is characterised by a persistent fear of social or performance situations. Despite effective treatments being available, many individuals with SAD do not seek treatment or delay treatment seeking for many years. The aim of the present study was to examine treatment barriers, treatment histories, and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) delivery preferences in a sample of women with clinically relevant SAD symptoms. Ninety-nine women (Mage = 34.90, SD = 11.28) completed the online questionnaires and were included in the study. Participants were recruited from advertisements on community noticeboards and posts on social media. The results demonstrated that less than 5% of those who received psychological treatment in the past were likely to have received best-practice CBT. The most commonly cited barriers to accessing treatment for women with SAD related to direct costs (63%) and indirect costs (e.g., transport/childcare) (28%). The most preferred treatment delivery method overall was individual face-to-face treatment (70%). The study demonstrates a need to provide a variety of treatment options in order to enhance access to empirically supported treatment for women with SAD.

对有社交焦虑症症状的女性的治疗障碍、偏好和病史的初步调查
社交焦虑症(SAD)是一种常见的心理健康状况,其特征是对社交或表现情况的持续恐惧。尽管有有效的治疗方法,但许多SAD患者多年来都没有寻求治疗或推迟寻求治疗。本研究的目的是在具有临床相关SAD症状的女性样本中检查治疗障碍、治疗史和认知行为疗法(CBT)的分娩偏好。99名女性(Mage=34.90,SD=11.28)完成了在线问卷调查并被纳入研究。参与者是从社区公告板上的广告和社交媒体上的帖子中招募的。结果表明,在过去接受过心理治疗的人中,只有不到5%的人可能接受过最佳实践CBT。SAD妇女获得治疗的最常见障碍与直接成本(63%)和间接成本(如交通/儿童保育)(28%)有关。总体而言,最受欢迎的治疗方法是个人面对面治疗(70%)。该研究表明,有必要提供各种治疗选择,以增加SAD女性获得经验支持治疗的机会。
