Introduction Mental disorders are characterised by a high likelihood of symptom recurrence or chronicity. Thus, in the vulnerable post-discharge phase, aftercare and follow-up aim at stabilising treatment effects, promoting functionality and preventing relapse or readmission. Internet- and mobile-based interventions may represent low threshold and effective extensions to aftercare in tertiary prevention of mental disorders. Objectives The planned systematic review and meta-analysis aims to synthesise and analyse existing evidence on the effectiveness of psychological internet- and mobile-based aftercare or follow-up in maintaining treatment effects and/or preventing recurrence in adults wit…
Implementation of a Positive Technology Application in Patients With Eating Disorders: A Pilot Randomized Control Trial.
2018
Background: Positive psychological interventions (PPIs) have been suggested to produce benefits in patients with eating disorders (ED) by improving well-being, which might act as a buffer of the harmful effects caused by the disorder. Best Possible Self (BPS) is a PPI which consists of writing and envisioning a future where everything has turned out in the best possible way. In this regard, positive technology (PT) can be of considerable benefit as it allows to implement specific PPIs that have already shown efficacy. Objective: This study tested the preliminary efficacy of the BPS exercise implemented through a PT application and carried out for 1 month, in improving positive functioning m…
Favouring emotional processing in improvisational music therapy through resonance frequency breathing: a single-case experimental study with a health…
2017
Resonance frequency breathing (RFB) is a form of slow breathing at around six breaths/min, whose immediate effects are to substantially increase heart rate variability (HRV) and to reduce stress levels. Since RFB has already been successfully used on its own to treat various emotional disorders, we wanted to evaluate its effect on emotional processing when used as a preparatory intervention in improvisational music therapy. To do so, we performed a single-subject experimental study with a healthy participant. We hypothesised that RFB would serve both as an emotional catalyst and emotional regulator, the actual outcome depending on the client’s current issues and needs. The study consisted o…
Exploring the Incorporation of a Positive Psychology Component in a Cognitive Behavioral Internet-Based Program for Depressive Symptoms. Results Thro…
2018
Traditionally, evidence-based treatments for depression have focused on negative symptoms. Different authors describe the need to include positive affect as a major target of treatment. Positive psychology aims to fill this gap. Reaching everyone in need is also important, and Internet-based interventions can help in this task. The present study is a secondary analysis derived from a randomized controlled trial aimed to test the efficacy of an Internet-based intervention for patients with depressive symptoms. This intervention consisted of an 8-module Internet-based program that combined four modules based on cognitive-behavioral therapy strategies and four modules based on positive psychol…
Online Supportive Group as social intervention to face COVID lockdown. A qualitative study on psychotherapists, psychology trainees and students, and…
2021
Several psychological interventions have been activated to help people during the Coronavirus pandemic, and research highlights the crucial role of group interventions as a space for sharing and processing the psychological experiences linked to this emergency and the consequent changes in people’s lifestyles. In this context, psychologists are mostly providers of this kind of service more than users. This study aimed at investigating and comparing post-hoc the subjective experience of psychotherapists, psychology trainees & students, and individuals of the general population who participated in a psychodynamically-oriented supportive group intervention. Fifty-two subjects were enrolled…

Elaboración y estudio de una herramienta de evaluación de la dignidad en cuidados paliativos
2014
La preocupación por la dignidad del ser humano es hoy universal: las declaraciones de los Derechos Humanos la reconocen, y tratan de protegerla y reivindicar el respeto que merece. Es un hecho incuestionable que todo ser humano es digno por sí mismo y debe ser reconocido como tal. La relación entre dignidad y cuidados paliativos la encontramos en la formulación de "muerte digna", asegurada si se cumplen los objetivos del tratamiento paliativos: control de síntomas, bienestar emocional del paciente y de la familia. En los últimos años se han llevado a cabo estudios de la dignidad en cuidados paliativos, siendo el trabajo del grupo de Chochinov el que está recibiendo más atención llevándose a…
Tras la 14 ª Conferencia Internacional sobre el SIDA, ¿Cuánto sufrimiento nos espera todavía?
2002
Se tratan de analizar los factores que pueden incrementar o disminuir el sufrimiento de las personas que, soportan o van a soportar las consecuencias emocionales de la infección porVIH y/o de la aplicación o carencia de los tratamientos antirretrovirales disponibles. Su objetivo es conseguir que todos aquellos que practican comportamientos de riesgo, que se infectan con el VIH, que se someten a un tratamiento o no tienen acceso al mismo, así como también sus familiares y los agentes de salud que los atienden, puedan hacer frente a estas realidades al menor coste emocional posible. El mejor camino que nos conduce hacia este objetivo es el counselling.
