Internet-based stress recovery intervention for adolescents: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.


ABSTRACT:

Background

Research reveals a high prevalence of stressors in adolescence. Mental health in adolescence is highly related to life-stressors exposure and difficulties in adjusting to stressors. Therefore, interventions for recovery from stress are in high demand. The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of the Internet-based stress recovery intervention for adolescents.

Methods

A two-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) on the efficacy of the FOREST-A-an Internet-based stress recovery intervention for adolescents-will be conducted. The FOREST-A is an adapted version of stress recovery intervention initially developed for healthcare workers. FOREST-A is a third-wave cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based Internet-delivered 4-week psychosocial intervention, which comprises six modules: Introduction, Relaxation, Psychological detachment, Mastery, Control, and Summary. The intervention will be evaluated using the two-arm RCT with intervention and care as usual (CAU) condition at pre-test, post-test, and 3-month follow-up. The measured outcomes will be stress recovery, adjustment disorder, generalized anxiety and depression symptoms, psychological well-being, and perceived positive social support.

Discussion

The study will contribute to the development of Internet interventions-easily and broadly accessible tools-for the enhancement of adolescents' stress recovery skills. Based on the study's findings, further development of the FOREST-A, including upscaling and implementation, is foreseen.
