Filter by:The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the transdiagnostic program Super Skills for Life (SSL). This protocol targets children aged 8 to 12 with emotional problems (anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and lack of social skills). SSL consists of eight sessions targeting common risk factors for internalizing disorders such as cognitive distortions, avoidance, emotional management, low self-esteem, social skills deficits, and coping strategies. The present research focuses on assessing the effectiveness of SSL applied online (through a virtual platform).
The present multiple baseline single case trial will study the efficacy and acceptability of the "Unified Protocol for the Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders" in the treatment of emotional symptomatology and/or emotional disorders in a sample of patients with Post Covid-19 condition.
Super Skills for Life (SSL) is a transdiagnostic cognitive-behavioral protocol developed for children aged 6 to 12 with anxiety and comorbid problems (e.g., depression, low self-esteem, and lack of social skills). SSL consists of eight sessions targeting common risk factors for internalizing disorders such as cognitive distortions, avoidance, emotional management, low self-esteem, social skills deficits and coping strategies. The aim of the study is to investigate the comparative effectiveness of SSL in its traditional and computerized versions on internalizing symptoms in Spanish children between 8 and 12 years of age.

The main goal is to assess the efficacy of the Unified Protocol for the Transdiagnostic Treatment (UP-A; Ehrenreich-May et al., 2018) for Adolescents with moderate emotional symptoms in educational settings The goal is to prevent emotional symptoms and improve the socio-emotional adjustment.
The aim of this study is to test the cost-effectiveness and cost-utility of adding a transdiagnostic group cognitive-behavioural therapy (TD-CBT) to treatment as usual (TAU) for emotional disorders in primary care . A single-blind randomized controlled clinical trial will be conducted to compare the TD-CBT group therapy plus TAU to progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) group plus TAU in individuals, aged 18 to 65, with emotional disorders in four primary care centres located in Cantabria, Spain. The study will take a societal perspective. Psychological assessments will be carried out at baseline, post-treatment, and 12-months follow-up. The assessments will include measures of clinical symptoms (anxiety, depression, and/or somatic), dysfunction, cognitive-emotional factors (ruminative processes, pathological concern, attentional and interpretative biases, emotion regulation strategies and meta-cognitive beliefs), and satisfaction with the treatment received. Data on health service use, including medication and days of absence from work, will be collected from electronic medical records. The primary outcomes are the incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICER) based on the difference in mean costs and effectiveness between interventions and incremental cost-utility ratios (ICURs) based on health-related quality of life at post-treatment and 12-month follow-up. Secondary outcome measures include clinical symptoms, quality of life, functioning and treatment satisfaction. Bootstrap sampling will be used to assess the uncertainty of the results. Secondary moderation and mediation analyses will also be conducted. In addition, in sessions' number 1, 4 and 7 of both treatment arms, two questionnaires will be administered that collect therapeutic alliance and group satisfaction. The main study hypothesis is that adding TD-CBT to TAU in primary care will be more cost-effective than TAU plus PMR. In addition, these gains will be maintained in the 12-month follow-up. If it is successful, the dissemination of cost-effective treatment can help to overcome problems in accessing psychological treatment for emotional disorders in the context of an increasing demand for mental healthcare in primary care.
Emotional, trauma and stress-related disorders show high incidence, prevalence, morbidity, and comorbidity rates in Mexico. In recent decades, research findings indicate that cognitive behavioral interventions, from a disorder-specific perspective, are the effective front-line treatment for anxiety and depression care. However, these treatments are not often used. The reasons for this are: limited access and low availability to effective interventions; a minority of people actively seek psychological care because of their own distress condition, fearing social stigma, because of geographical reasons that separate them from health centers, because of time, preference for other treatment or self-help, for the high cost of treatment, which makes it inaccessible and unaffordable to both, the user, and the public health system. It has also been stated that the comorbidity between mental disorders, as well as the gap between research findings and clinical practice could influence the poor dissemination of effective treatments, resulting in a lack of up-to-date professionals providing relevant interventions. This has motivated the practice of some studies aimed at knowing the moderating, mediating variables and psychological mechanisms that improve the process of clinical change. Emotional deregulation of negative affection has been found to be a moderating factor and/or mediation in addressing emotional disorders from a transdiagnostic perspective, aimed at two or more specific disorders. In this way, transdiagnostic treatments could help overcome the drawbacks related to comorbidity between disorders. However, technological advancement has created alternatives for psychological assistance, highlighting the possibilities offered by technologies since Internet-supported interventions have been empirically tested for effectiveness, efficiency and this efficiency can be key to ensuring access to those who are inaccessible. Thus, the study aims to identify the indicators of efficacy, acceptability, and moderation of clinical change of a transdiagnostic intervention through a telepsychology platform for the treatment of emotional disorders and derived from stress and trauma.
Anxiety disorders are prominent mental health burdens, affecting roughly 1 in 5 adults annually, and a third of individuals over the course of their life. These disorders are also impairing to individuals, with 23% of individuals with anxiety disorders describing their impairment as serious. Given the public health impact, it is crucial that interventions are designed to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, through reducing risk factors that predispose individuals to develop anxiety. One approach to do this is to develop brief interventions that could be administered virtually, which can then be supplemented using ecological momentary intervention (EMI) to reduce risk factors for anxiety disorders. In contrast to targeting more distant risk factors, targeting more direct risk factors, such as intolerance of uncertainty, could be used in the prevention and treatment of anxiety disorders.
The present project aims at testing the feasibility of an app-based system called "EmoGuía" for routine outcome monitoring of adult patients with emotional disorders while they are administered a self-applied online transdiagnostic psychological intervention.
