Frontline healthcare workers, recovered COVID+ patients who had severe illness, and close others of COVID+ patients who have recovered or died are at risk for clinical levels of mental health symptoms in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. RESTORE (ecovering from xtreme tressors hrough nline esources and -health) was specifically designed for this context. RESTORE is a transdiagnostic guided online intervention adapted from evidence-based cognitive-behavioural therapies.
RESTORE was designed to address depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms associated with exposure to COVID-19-related traumatic and extreme stressors, and to overcome multiple barriers to accessing psychotherapies.
This paper describes the intervention components and platform, as well as the principles used to develop RESTORE. Current research and future directions in developing and testing RESTORE are outlined.
Preliminary data from an initial uncontrolled trial evaluating RESTORE in frontline healthcare workers is highly promising.
We believe RESTORE has great potential to provide accessible, evidence-based psychological intervention to those in great need.
在 COVID-19 大流行背景下，一线医护人员、曾患重病的 COVID+康复患者以及 COVID+康复或死亡患者的密切接触者都面临着心理健康症状达到临床水平的风险。RESTORE（通过在线资源和健康恢复从极端压力中恢复）是专门为此设计的。RESTORE 是一种从基于证据的认知行为疗法改编而来的跨诊断导向在线干预措施。
RESTORE 旨在解决与接触 COVID-19 相关创伤性和极端压力源相关的抑郁、焦虑和创伤后应激障碍症状，并克服获得心理治疗的多种障碍。
本文描述了干预措施的组成部分和平台，以及用于开发 RESTORE 的原则。概述了当前在开发和测试 RESTORE 方面的研究和未来方向。
一项初步的非对照试验评估了一线医护人员对 RESTORE 的初步数据，结果非常有希望。
我们相信 RESTORE 有很大的潜力为那些有迫切需要的人提供可及的、基于证据的心理干预措施。
