| Summary: | Background: COVID-19 has taken many lives worldwide and due to this, millions of
persons are in grief. When the grief process lasts longer than 6 months, the person is in
risk of developing Complicated Grief Disorder (CGD). The CGD is related to serious health
consequences. To reduce the probability of developing CGD a preventive intervention
could be applied. In developing countries like Mexico, the psychological services are
scarce, self-applied interventions could provide support to solve this problem and reduce
the health impact even after the pandemic has already finished.
Aims: To design and implement a self-applied intervention composed of 12 modules
focused on the decrease of the risk of developing CGD, and increasing the life quality,
and as a secondary objective to reduce the symptomatology of anxiety, depression,
and increase of sleep quality. The Intervention Duelo COVID (Grief COVID) follows the
principles of User Experience (UX) and is designed according to the needs and desires
of a sample of the objective participants, to increase the adherence to the self-applied
intervention, considered one of the main weaknesses of online interventions.
Methods: A Randomized Controlled Trial will be conducted from the 22nd of December
of 2020 to the first of June 2021. The participants will be assigned to an intervention
with elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy,
Mindfulness and Positive Psychology. The control group will be a wait-list condition, that
will receive the intervention 1.5–2 months after the pre-measurement were taken. The
Power Size Calculation conducted through G∗Power indicated the need for a total of 42
participants, which will be divided by 21 participants in each group. The platform will be
delivered through responsive design assuring with this that the intervention will adapt to
the screen size of cellphones, tablets, and computers.
Ethics and Dissemination: The study counts with the approval of the Research Ethics
Committee of the Autonomous University of Ciudad Juárez, México, and it is registered
in Clinical Trials (NCT04638842). The article is sent and registered in clinical trials before
the recruitment started. The results will be reported in future conferences, scientific
publications, and media. |
