The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of online cognitive-behavioral intervention based on Unified Protocol and mediators of obtained changes among polish students with adjustment disorder. The intervention is fully self-helped and based on Unified Protocol principles. Control conditions contain of online progressive muscle relaxation group and waiting list.
Adjustment problems are highly prevalent among students around the world (Conley et.al., 2013). Unfortunately only half of students in need receive psychological help (Eisenberg et al., 2018). For these reasons, there is a need to develop and evaluate new, more scalable forms of treatment for students with adjustment disorder - such as internet therapeutic programs. Therefore the aim of the present research is to evaluate the effectiveness of online cognitive-behavioural therapy intervention. Mediators of obtained changes will also be evaluated. The present study has a potential for the development of a scalable, well researched treatment option for students experiencing adjustment disorder - internet psychological intervention.

It is also a modular intervention and, similar to the i-cbt condition, consists of 5 modules. During the intervention, participants learn how to progressively tighten and relax different muscle groups.The first module is planned for two weeks and the rest of them for one week each.
