Summary

The main aim of this project is to test the efficacy of two formats of delivering an internet- based treatment(GROw) for Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) in order to enhance treatment adherence: in a blended format (that combines self-applied treatment online with face-to face sessions with a therapist by videoconference: BF-GROw) and self-applied online format supported by Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMAs) and Ecological Momentary Interventions (EMIs) (iGROw), compared with a waiting list (WL) control group in a community sample of patients with the diagnosis of PGD. The general initial hypothesis is that both treatment conditions (blended format and self-applied format supported by EMAs and EMIs) will significantly produce an improvement in grief symptoms, compared to the WL control group.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Internet-based treatment (GROw) combined with face-to-face videoconferencing sessions with a therapist in BF-GROw group

The treatment that will be applied is an internet-based treatment (GROw) (Tur et al., 2021, 2022)combined with face-to-face videoconferencing sessions with a therapist (blended) . This protocol has 8 weekly modules and lasts between 8 and 12 weeks.

BF-GROw group will receive a treatment module every 10-12 days. This protocol is available online: (https://psicologiaytecnologia.labpsitec.es).
