Clinical Trial Description

Computer-based videogame. The program has a graphic adventure format, where the player controls an avatar who embarks on a train journey. Throughout this journey, the train will make five different stops where the player will learn about emotional regulation through activities or puzzles, readings and different interventions with the game's characters. At the first stop, the player will receive psychoeducation about emotional regulation and the most frequent adaptive and maladaptive regulation strategies. In the next three areas, exercises will be carried out to apply these strategies on variables such as self-esteem, self-care, stress, time management and social support. Finally, in the last area, the player will review the different contents learned. In addition to the train and the five stops or areas described, the game includes the area of the avatar's house and a final scenario that will vary depending on the player's answers throughout the adventure, in order to highlight the most important learning and conclude the game. Therefore, emoWELL consists of 8 areas in total.

The intervention is carried out autonomously. In addition to the computer game, emoWELL is linked to a mobile application so that the user can practice, integrate and reinforce the knowledge learned in the remote game, being both platforms indispensable in the intervention. ;
