Brief Summary

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

This study evaluates the effectiveness of an online Multi-component psychological intervention, that is focused on providing self-support to the population of 5 Latin American countries and 2 European Countries. The objectives of the intervention are: 1) To reduce the symptoms of anxiety and depression in the adult population, 2) To increase the levels of subjective well-being.

Detailed Description

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

Anxiety and depression at clinically significant levels are associated with suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Furthermore, it is associated with the health-disease process in two ways: 1) variables that influence behavior, hindering people's healthy habits and promoting the development of unhealthy behaviors; 2) anxiety and depression affect the psycho physiological activation of people, which affects their immune system.

Considering the damage that can occur by not addressing incipient problems of anxiety and depression, it is important to develop interventions with preventive purposes. Thus, the online modality of the intervention presented in this project can benefit a significant number of people in Mexico, Ecuador, Chile, Brazil, Peru, the Netherlands and Spain. The online modality of psychological interventions is a viable treatment alternative, especially for those people who do not have any psychological treatment within their reach.

The participants will be measured at pre, middle treatment, post assessment and two follow ups of 3 and 6 months. The self-report measures will include the following Psychometrics:

1. General Anxiety Disorder with 7-items (GAD-7)
2. Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale" in its revised version (CESD-R).
3. Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10)
4. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality scale (PSQI)
5. Action Acceptance Questionnaire II (AAQ-II)
6. The Satisfaction with Life scale
7. The Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS)
8. Perceived Deficits Questionnaire (PDQ-5)
9. The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS)
10. Opinion on the treatment.
11. System usability scale.
12. Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8S)
13. The Telehealth Usability Questionnaire (TUQ)

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The Well-being Online study will implement a randomized controlled trial at five points for the intervention groups and six evaluation periods for the control group: 1)pretest, 2)middle of the treatment, 3) post-test, 4) follow up at 3 months and 5) follow up at six months. 6) Participants in the control group will be re-assigned to the intervention group after the post-waiting list period.

The study will implement a three-arm design (parallel group), comparing:

1. Interactive Intervention Group ,
2. Intervention delivered through PDF files.
3. Control group.

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Participants
The patients are not aware that there are another experimental group and a control group. The conditions of the study are only known by the researcher and the Research Ethics Committee of the Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Interactive intervention

The participants will receive a self-applied intervention composed by 10 sessions following a multi component structure. The participants assigned to this condition will count with interactive resources such as Videos, Online Forum and Exercises embedded on the platform.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Well-being online

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Multi component Intervention composed 10 sessions following a structure based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Positive Psychology (PP), Mindfulness and Behavioral Activation Therapy (BAT).

non-interactive intervention

Self-administered treatment with 10 sessions will be provided through care manuals in PDF format within the same web platform. Participants in this group will receive a manual within the platform with the same content of the sessions as the experimental group but in PDF format.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Well-being online

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Multi component Intervention composed 10 sessions following a structure based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Positive Psychology (PP), Mindfulness and Behavioral Activation Therapy (BAT).

Waiting List group

The control condition consists of a 30-day waiting list, in which participants will not be able to access the interventions. After the waiting process, they will be given access to either the interactive intervention or the non-interactive intervention.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
