Overview
Brief Summary
This is a study to develop a protocol on Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for asthma-related anxiety that in a consecutive study can be translated to internet-delivered CBT.
Detailed Description
Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases around the world, with a high prevalence of anxiety disorders. Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) has been shown to increase psychological well-being for anxiety-related asthma. Our primary aim is to develop a standardized CBT protocol for asthma-related anxiety that can be transferred to internet-delivered CBT. Ten participants will be included in a single-subject multiple baseline design. They will all receive 10-12 sessions of CBT.
