There is one clinical trial.
During the current COVID-19 Pandemic, all communities are relying heavily on medical personnel and first-responders to maintain high levels of psychological and occupational functioning. However, during times of persistent high levels of stress, many individuals experience depletion in psychological resources, suffering intense distress that can make daily occupational and interpersonal functioning difficult. In order to assist with this immense challenge, this research team has developed a brief daily intervention based on decades of stress and trauma research that may help to support psychological health in individuals on the frontlines who are most essential to society. Considerable evidence supports the role of attention to and conceptualization of emotional experience in psychological resilience. This project tests a highly innovative combination of interventions targeting these processes in a brief, daily activity. The primary project aim is to investigate the Daily Coping Toolkit for medical personnel and first responders to determine efficacy over time, to test relative dosing, and to explicate the underlying therapeutic processes. The toolkit consists of 3 activities, administered one time each day, taking minutes to complete and will be administered to n=1000 personnel. Data analysis will test the impact of the toolkit on momentary affective processes and on symptoms and wellbeing over 9 months. The impact of this research will be evidence to support the further use of this novel tool to assist essential front-line personnel during this ongoing crisis helping to mitigate the psychological toll and also support occupational functioning now and in the future.
