About this study

The Corona pandemic is affecting the whole world and since March 12.th 2020 there has been strict qurantene and social isolation interventions in Norway. The aim of this intervention is to reduce the negative and fatal effects of the pandemic. The pandemic and the restrictions that follows it is assumed to affect the mental health of the general population. In this research project we want to examine the use and the effects of a digital self-guided psychological intervention with the aim to increase coping and to reduce psychological problems during and after the pandemic. The participants will be randomized to either an intensive group (new module every 3rd day) or to an ordinary group (new module every 5th day).

Read the detailed description

The intervention was developed in a crossdiciplinary and cross-sectorial team within the framework of the research project INTROMAT, an ICT Lighthouse research project funded by the Norwegian Research Council. The content of the digital covid-19 intervention was based on four previously developed digital interventions, all based on systematic user-involvement and user-testing, from our group. The person-based approach inspired the development of the intervention. Based on the research literature and experience from our existing digital interventions we started the development with establishing guiding principles. The intervention consists of 8 modules.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The Patient Health Questionnaire

    measures depression severity with nine items scored 0 ("not at all") to 3 ("nearly every day"), corresponding to the criteria for major depression in the DSM-5. The sum of the scores for the nine items ranges from 0 to 27

    Measured: 6 months

  2. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale

    measures anxiety severity with seven items scored 0 ("not at all") to 3 ("nearly every day"). The total score ranges from 0 to 21

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Positive and negative affect

    In the instructions to the PANAS scales in the current study, participants were asked, ''To what extent do you generally feel this way, that is, how do you feel on average?'' Each PANAS scale comprises 10 specific mood-related adjectives, rated on a 5-point scale from not at all to very much

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Perceived Stress Scale

    Widely used psychological instrument for measuring the perception of stress. It is a measure of the degree to which situations in one's life are appraised as stressful. Items were designed to tap how unpredictable, uncontrollable, and overloaded respondents find their lives.

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Client Satisfaction Scale

    structured survey used to assess level of satisfaction with care. Items are scored on a Likert scale from 1 (low satisfaction) to 4 (high satisfaction) with different descriptors for each response point. Total scores range from 8 to 32, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction

    Measured: 6 months
