In this scoping review, we investigated the psychotherapies and psychological support provided during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic to clarify its recipients and the methods employed, among other characteristics. We used Scopus and PubMed as the two search engines and employed the following search terms: “COVID*” AND (“psychotherap*” OR “psychological support*”) AND “psychological distress*.” The first search was conducted on October 18, 2022, by reviewing search engines and conducting a manual search. It yielded 154 articles, of which 18 finally met the eligibility criteria after the second round of screening. The distribution of the participants in the intervention studies included in this review was diverse, including the general population, patients with COVID-19, and patients who had recovered from COVID-19. The implementation of psychotherapy was not limited to more advanced countries in psychiatry, indicating the broader reach of these interventions. Psychotherapy includes various methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance commitment therapy, mindfulness, supportive care, virtual reality therapy, and online educational content via apps. The rise of new technologies may have increased the replacement rate of human therapists. In addition, the use of remote interventions was more common than that of face-to-face interventions. It is necessary to monitor whether the technologies and methods used for the first time during the pandemic will continue to be used in the future. Therefore, further research is needed to compare the effectiveness of remote randomized controlled trials with conventional face-to-face randomized controlled trials. Finally, most of those providing psychotherapies and psychological support in the studies included in this review were not doctors or psychologists.

本范围综述针对2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行期间实施的心理治疗与心理支持服务展开研究，旨在明确其服务对象、采用的干预方法及其他相关特征。本研究以Scopus和PubMed为两大检索数据库，采用如下检索策略："COVID*" AND ("psychotherap*" OR "psychological support*") AND "psychological distress*." 首次检索于2022年10月18日完成，涵盖数据库检索与手工检索两种方式，最终共检索得到154篇文献，经第二轮筛选后，仅有18篇符合纳入标准。本综述纳入的干预性研究中，研究对象分布广泛，涵盖普通人群、新冠病毒感染患者以及新冠康复患者。心理治疗的开展并未局限于精神医学领域较为发达的国家，提示此类干预措施的覆盖范围正逐步扩大。心理治疗涵盖多种干预手段，包括认知行为疗法（cognitive behavioral therapy）、接纳承诺疗法（acceptance commitment therapy）、正念疗法、支持性照护、虚拟现实疗法以及依托应用程序的在线教育内容。新兴技术的兴起或推高了人力治疗师的替代比例。此外，远程干预的应用频次显著高于面对面干预。有必要持续监测大流行期间首次应用的技术与方法，评估其未来的持续使用情况。因此，未来需开展进一步研究，对比远程随机对照试验（randomized controlled trial）与传统面对面随机对照试验的干预效果。最后，本综述纳入的研究中，绝大多数提供心理治疗与心理支持服务的从业者并非医师或心理师。
