Article Synopsis
- Losing a loved one is extremely stressful and can lead to prolonged grief symptoms, affecting about 15% of individuals significantly.
- The study compares two web-based interventions (WBIs): LIVIA 2.0, a new program, and LIVIA 1, an existing program, assessing their effectiveness in treating prolonged grief symptoms through a randomized controlled trial.
- Results showed that both WBIs led to significant reductions in grief and depressive symptoms, with LIVIA 2.0 being a promising option, although the study faced a 40% dropout rate among participants.
Background: Internet-based interventions (IBIs) are as efficient as face-to-face psychotherapy for a variety of mental health disorders, including complicated grief. Most evidence stems from guided IBIs. However, recent research indicates that the benefit of guidance is lower in more interactive IBIs.
