ABSTRACT
Instruments: OASIS, ODSIS, QLI-Sp, COP, PANAS, RRS, COREOM, BEAQ, NEO FFI, ad hoc sociodemographic data sheet, Satisfaction Scale and Treatment Assessment Survey. The results of the Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) showed a statistically significant reduction (p < .05) in psychological distress: CORE OM Problem (t = 2.345;p < .037), CORE OM Functioning (Z = -1.968;p < .049), CORE OM Visi (Z = -2.028;p < .043) and CORE OM VISI-R (Z = -2.040;p < .041). After the intervention, there was a quantitative increase in quality of life, optimism and positive affection;and a reduction in anxiety, negative affection, rumiative behavior, avoidant behavior and psychological discomfort. The preliminary results obtained justify the design of a randomized controlled trial to show the efficacy of the Unified Protocol in this context and population.
