Integrating ICT in health promotion has been suggested to offer many advantages compared to traditional approaches to promote well-being. Research has shown the positive effects of a body-mind-spirit (BMS) approach in enhancing health and well-being. We will develop and assess a pilot trial involving a holistic BMS approach to promote positive emotion change, emotion regulation and self-awareness through an ICT-supported program in a community setting.
The body-mind-spirit (BMS) approach views the three components as a connected, balanced system that interacts with one another harmoniously. With the well-established academic-community partnership between HKU and Caritas-Hong Kong, our pilot trial aims to build upon the previous experiences by Caritas-Hong Kong and investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of a BMS approach in enhancing positive emotions and well-being among community participants. This trial is an innovative attempt at conducting an ICT-supported online intervention with community participants. It would also help meet the urgent need for brief, community-based preventive mental health promotion, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
