Protocolo Unificado, Intervención grupal, Intervención online, Trastornos emocionales, ArgentinaResumen
El objetivo del presente estudio fue aportar evidencia sobre la utilidad clínica preliminar y la satisfacción con el tratamiento del Protocolo Unificado (PU) de Barlow et al. (2011), aplicado en formato grupal y online en adultos con trastornos emocionales en Argentina. Para tal fin se realizó un estudio no controlado con medidas pre y post-tratamiento. El grupo estuvo formado por siete participantes con sintomatología del espectro ansioso-depresiva. La intervención consistió en 11 sesiones semanales sincrónicos de 90 minutos realizados en una plataforma virtual. Los resultados mostraron una reducción significativa en los niveles de depresión, desesperanza, dificultades en la regulación emocional y afecto negativo, y un aumento significativo en la calidad de vida. A su vez, se observaron tamaños del efecto grandes para depresión, ansiedad, desesperanza, dificultades en la regulación emocional y afecto negativo. Los resultados preliminares del presente estudio sobre la utilidad clínica y aceptabilidad del uso del PU en formato grupal y online en población argentina son prometedores
