dc.description.abstract | We describe a psychoeducational program integrated in a basic computer skills course
for participants suffering from social anxiety. The two main aims of the course were: that the
participants learn basic computer skills, and that the participants learn to cope better with social
anxiety. Computer skills were taught by a qualified teacher. Psychoeducation and cognitive therapy
skills, including topics such as anxiety coping, self-accept, and self-regulation, were taught by a
clinical psychologist. Thirteen of 16 participants completed the course, which lasted 11 weeks.
A qualitative analysis was performed, drawing on observations during the course and on interviews
with the participants. The participants were positive about the integration of psychoeducation
sessions in the computer course, and described positive outcomes for both elements, including
improved computer skills, improved self-esteem, and reduced social anxiety. Most participants
were motivated to undertake further occupational rehabilitation after the course. | en |
