Brief Summary:
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of GGTCA-AD to decrease the maladaptive beliefs associated with eating disorders ED in non-clinical adolescent population Specifically a randomized controlled trial with parallel design and two groups experimental and control will be carried out in adolescents aged 13-15 years to assess the changes pre and post use of the app It is expected that after the use of the GGTCA-AD app for 14 days at the primary level a decrease in the degree of ascription to dysfunctional beliefs associated with ED and at the secondary level increase in body satisfaction and self-esteem decrease in eating symptomatology and no changes in emotional symptomatology These results are also expected to be maintained in subsequent follow-up at 1 month
Detailed Description:
There is a digital platform called GGtude which is composed of different modules each of them aimed at working with different mental health problems The goal is to provide an easy-to-use tool as a CBT complement to work on the self-dialogue that relates to the core beliefs associated with the psychological problem in particular To achieve this target a cognitive training exercise is performed different sentences appear in the form of beliefs and the person must identify and accept those beliefs that are functional adaptive and positive dragging them to the lower part of the screen and reject those that are dysfunctional maladaptive and negative dragging them to the upper part of the screen
The GGTCA app is a module of GGtude that was developed to work on dysfunctional beliefs associated with eating disorders Previous research showed that the app produced a statistically significant decrease of mean scores in maladaptive beliefs associated with ED and a statistically significant increase in self-esteem in adult population
Furthermore adolescence is a developmental stage vulnerable to the development of these disorders so its relevant to adapt the GGTCA application to the adolescent population GGTCA-AD and to evaluate its effectiveness
