Summary

This study tested an online cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program designed to reduce stress and prevent mental health problems in health workers caring for COVID-19 patients. 156 healthcare workers participated, receiving either the online CBT or a bibliotherapy program. The goal was to see if the online CBT could lower perceived stress and prevent issues like depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders at 3 and 6 months.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
online cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
What this could lead to
If effective, this online program could offer a practical way to reduce stress and prevent depression, anxiety, and sleep problems in healthcare workers during crises.
What could go wrong
This is a completed trial with 156 participants, so results are limited in size and may not apply to all healthcare settings. Online CBT may not work for everyone, and long-term benefits are uncertain.
