Overview
Brief Summary
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic situation, social and health professionals constitute a population in risk of developing psychopathologies due to the high levels of stress they experience. There is consensus regarding the need of offering these professionals psychotherapeutic evidence-based interventions addressed to reducing their stress levels and promote their wellbeing; because of the current situation, it is believed that online interventions might be the best-fitted approach. The research groups that present this project have leaded a research line that has proved the efficacy of online psychotherapeutic programs in the past. In the present project, the efficacy of the MINDxYOU program will be evaluated; this is an online intervention based on mindfulness techniques, compassion, and acceptance, and that has been developed specifically for social and health professionals. In addition, in order to overcome the gap that separates the validation of interventions and their posterior implementation, this project aims to perform an implementation study in which a hybrid design will be adopted to test the impact of the program in terms of efficacy and the feasibility of the implementation. The investigators will adopt the framework proposed by Hermes. et al., inspired in Proctor's recommendations. The study will be conducted in 2 autonomous communities (Aragón and Andalucía).
