Abstract

Sometimes, after the loss of a loved one, people can develop posttraumatic symptomatology, which web-based treatments can help to reduce. We conducted a meta-analysis of web-based online treatments for reducing PTSD and other symptomatology in people who have lost a loved one. Five databases were searched between 2010 and 2022. A manual search was also performed. The meta-analysis included 13 articles which provided 14 intervention groups and 13 comparative groups. Effect sizes for PTSD, complicated grief, anxiety and depression were moderate. Our conclusion is that web-based programs for people who have lost a loved one are effective in reducing PTSD and other symptomatology, although the effects of certain treatment combinations should still be studied.
