Detailed Description

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

Adjustment problems are highly prevalent among students around the world (Conley et.al., 2013). Unfortunately only half of students in need receive psychological help (Eisenberg et al., 2018). For these reasons, there is a need to develop and evaluate new, more scalable forms of treatment for students with adjustment disorder - such as internet therapeutic programs. Therefore the aim of the present research is to evaluate the effectiveness of online cognitive-behavioural therapy intervention. Mediators of obtained changes will also be evaluated. The present study has a potential for the development of a scalable, well researched treatment option for students experiencing adjustment disorder - internet psychological intervention.
