Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Integrating ICT in health promotion has been suggested to offer many advantages compared to traditional approaches to promote well-being. Research has shown the positive effects of a body-mind-spirit (BMS) approach in enhancing health and well-being. We will develop and assess a pilot trial involving a holistic BMS approach to promote positive emotion change, emotion regulation and self-awareness through an ICT-supported program in a community setting.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The body-mind-spirit (BMS) approach views the three components as a connected, balanced system that interacts with one another harmoniously. With the well-established academic-community partnership between HKU and Caritas-Hong Kong, our pilot trial aims to build upon the previous experiences by Caritas-Hong Kong and investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of a BMS approach in enhancing positive emotions and well-being among community participants. This trial is an innovative attempt at conducting an ICT-supported online intervention with community participants. It would also help meet the urgent need for brief, community-based preventive mental health promotion, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
