Brief Summary

A training comprised of positive psychological interventions set out to improve mental well-being was developed for post-COVID-19 patients. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of this training.

Detailed Description

Research has shown that the quality of life and well-being of post-COVID-19 patients are often reduced, and that many patients struggle with self-management tasks, such as symptom management and emotion regulation. Training in self-management skills related to positive emotions, such as positive affect savouring, might help with these and can be provided prior to or in parallel with usual treatment. This study aims to investigate whether a training to improve the mental well-being is feasible and acceptable for people with post-COVID-19 syndrome. The training to be provided is based on previously evaluated sets of positive psychological interventions ('This is your life' and 'Training in Positivity') and adapted to a post-COVID-19 population. As a secondary aim, preliminary effectiveness will be evaluated.
