The present study aims to evaluate the effect of an online Recovery College (RC) program implemented in Quebec (Canada) during the COVID-19 pandemic. From October 2020 to June 2021, 27 training groups were conducted with a total of 362 attendees. Outcome was evaluated using a single group repeated measure design, assessing participants prior the training (T0), after the training (T1) and at follow up (T2). 107 learners of the Quebec RC program attended three two-hour sessions agreed to participate to the research. Overall findings show at T1 a small but statistically significant reduction of anxiety and increase in empowerment, and below threshold reduction of stigmatizing attitudes and increase of wellbeing. Conversely, the medium-term changes at follow up were non-significant for all the outcome dimension except for anxiety. Findings suggest that the RC online program can be considered as a potential effective strategy to support self-regulation and empowerment of individuals and to reduce anxiety in the context of crisis for the general population.
本研究旨在评估魁北克（加拿大）在 COVID-19 大流行期间实施的在线康复学院（RC）计划的效果。从 2020 年 10 月到 2021 年 6 月，共进行了 27 个培训小组，共有 362 名参与者。使用单组重复测量设计评估结果，在培训前（T0）、培训后（T1）和随访（T2）评估参与者。魁北克 RC 计划的 107 名学习者参加了三次为期两小时的会议，同意参与研究。总体结果表明，在 T1 时，焦虑程度略有但具有统计学意义的降低，赋权程度有所增加，而耻辱感态度的降低和幸福感的增加则低于阈值。相反，除了焦虑之外，在随访时所有结果维度的中期变化均无统计学意义。研究结果表明，RC 在线计划可以被视为一种潜在有效的策略，可用于支持个人的自我调节和赋权，并在危机情况下减轻普通人群的焦虑。
