"resiLIR Basic": A Psychological Online Intervention to Enhance Resilience in the General Population

A Randomized Controlled Study to Evaluate the Feasibility and Efficacy of an Online Resilience Intervention in the General Population ("resiLIR Basic")

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the developed online resilience intervention "resiLIR Basic" for the general population.

Participants will receive a 6-week online intervention addressing resilience and stress as well as different resilience factors. The main question is whether the intervention is effective in increasing psychological resilience.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Resilience
• Intervention / Treatment: Behavioral: resiLIR Basic

Detailed Description

Background: Acute and chronic stress in everyday life plays an essential role in the onset and development of several physical and mental health conditions. The ability to maintain or return to mental health during stress exposure is characterized as resilience. Especially the COVID-19 pandemic emphasized the role of resilience for mental health and pointed to the importance of easily accessible and flexible interventions to improve resilience in the general population.

Objectives: The aim of the study therefore is to examine the feasibility and efficacy of a newly developed online intervention to foster resilience in the general population.

Methods: In a waitlist control design, 240 adults will participate in the 6-week resilience intervention "resiLIR Basic". This online intervention consists of 8 modules of about 45-60 minutes length using psycho-educational elements and practical exercises to address evidence-based resilience factors, such as optimism or sense of coherence. Participants will complete online surveys on resilience, mental health, and several resilience factors pre-, during and post-intervention as well as 3, 6 and 12 months after completion as follow-up assessments.

Implications: The study will contribute to an evidence-based and easily accessible supply of resilience interventions supporting health promotion and stress prevention in the general population.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Change of Resilience measured with stressor reactivity score (Kalisch et al., 2015, 2021)	Stressor reactivity score (Kalisch et al., 2015, 2021): Stressor reactivity can be approximated by relating self-reported mental-health problems to the corresponding stressor exposure within the same timeframe (for scales for mental health problems and stressor exposure, see secondary outcomes). The stressor reactivity (SR) score will be computed as an individual score against normal stressor reactivity (see Kalisch et al., 2021), where normal stressor reactivity is the regression line of average mental health problems against average stressor exposure across all time points in the trial population and one's individual SR score at any time point is the distance to the regression line. The inverse of the SR score is considered an approximative index of outcome-based resilience. Therefore, a lower SR score indicates higher resilience. Change calculated between time points named in time frame, for details, see statistical analysis plan.	baseline (pre), 3-4 weeks (intermediate), 6-8 weeks (post), 3 months (first follow-up), 6 months (second follow-up), 12 months (third follow-up)

Occurrence of Life Events measured with Life Events Checklist-5 (LEC-5; Krüger-Gottschalk et al., 2017)	Life Events Checklist-5 (LEC-5; Krüger-Gottschalk et al., 2017): Participants rate different items on a scale from 1 to 6. Items experienced directly are weighted by a factor of 3, items witnessed weighted with a factor of 2, items learned about or experienced at work are weighted with a factor of 1. Sum score is formed. Higher scores indicate more events experienced with closer proximity to the individual.	baseline (pre)
