Resumen

GOMIDE, Henrique Pinto et al. Development and implementation of a brief chat-based intervention to support mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. Estud. psicol. (Natal) [online]. 2020, vol.25, n.4, pp.470-479. ISSN 1413-294X.  https://doi.org/10.22491/1678-4669.20200046.

This paper presents the development and implementation of a brief chat-based intervention for mental health support toward people suffering from the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil and Argentina. During the development phase, we proposed a protocol that comprised: 1) screening and needs assessment; 2) health education based on active listening techniques; and 3) referral to available materials and crisis services available (e.g., crisis intervention hotlines). In the implementation phase, we recruited and trained 77 volunteers who provide healthcare chat support for users under the supervision of 20 psychologists. In less than two months, we performed 1.107 sessions. We expect that the healthcare chat support might be a valuable resource during the COVID-19 pandemic, although further studies to assess its feasibility and effectiveness are needed.

Palabras clave : infectious disorders (covid-19); continuing education; mental health; online chat groups.
