Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the acceptability, feasibility, and effectiveness of esTOCma in families and relatives of individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

Specifically, a randomized controlled trial with two conditions (experimental and control) has been carried out in a sample of families and relatives of individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder to assess pre-post-intervention changes. Researchers will compare experimental and control group to see if after using the app there is: lower stigma, higher knowledge and understanding about OCD, higher intention to seek help, and higher self-esteem and lower obsessive-compulsive symptoms. and there are no changes in the control group.

The experimental group received the intervention through the esTOCma app.

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

This study is a two-arm randomized controlled trial with measurements taken at two time points: pre-intervention and post-intervention. Participants who met the inclusion criteria were automatically randomized within the app into either the experimental or control group using a 1:1 allocation ratio. The experimental group received the intervention through the esTOCma app, and completed the assessment questionnaires before and after the intervention. Participants in the control group did not receive the intervention and completed the assessment questionnaires again 10 days after the pre-assessment (post-intervention).
