The study aims to assess the efficacy of an internet-based stress recovery intervention for healthcare workers receiving therapist support with or without an intervention plan.
The intervention will be delivered as an internet-based stress recovery program for healthcare workers, comprising of six modules: introduction, psychological detachment, distancing, mastery, control, and keeping the change alive. These modules have been chosen after considering themes that could be most useful for healthcare workers under high stress. Each module consists of a psychoeducational and an exercise component. An intervention plan will be drawn up with the therapist prior to the start of the program, setting the intensity of engagement and the frequency of reminders. During the program, a therapist provides individual feedback on the completed exercises and can also be available on request.
The effect of the intervention will be compared with a control group that will use the program without an intervention plan. The intervention will be delivered in Lithuanian.
