About

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).

Full 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.
