P176  Self-management of depression in axial spondyloarthritis using internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy: a feasibility study

Conclusion iCBT may be a useful intervention for axSpA patients with depression. However, low levels of engagement and high attrition rates (common in intervention studies of depression) resulted in only 17% completing the full programme. These figures will be essential for planning of future clinical trial s in this area. Future work could also consider strategies to promote engagement and use and potential adaptation of interventional content for iCBT delivery in this population.Disclosure S.S. Zhao: None.D.
