Detaljerad beskrivning
Low self-esteem (LSE) is a negative cognitive representation of the self, based on personal experience, and it influences how information is processed.
LSE has been linked to worse psychological adjustment, and research has found that CBT-based interventions using Fennell's cognitive model of low self-esteem were able to improve participants' self-esteem.
SIYA-PT is a cultural adaptation of SIYA, a guided internet-based CBT intervention developed for Swedish adolescents, and it is based on Cognitive Model of Low Self-Esteem, Self-Determination Theory, and Self-Compassion Theory. SIYA-PT has 7 modules that will be presented to participants, one module per week.
The investigators aim to evaluate whether a culturally adapted iCBT intervention is accepted by Portuguese emerging adults - people aged 18 to 29 years old - and whether it is feasible in enhancing self-esteem and improving anxiety and depressive symptoms and quality of life.
This study is a pilot-randomised controlled trial. The study will have an intervention group (IG) that will receive the intervention (SIYA-PT) immediately after randomisation, and a waitlist control group (WCG) that will receive the intervention after follow-up, 3 months after IG finishes their intervention.
The investigators aim to recruit at least 58 participants with LSE, considering a 31% dropout.
The main outcomes of the study are self-esteem, quality of life and anxiety and depressive symptoms and the secondary outcomes are self-compassion and assertiveness.

Experimentell: Intervention Group (IG)
IG will have access to the intervention (SIYA-PT). The participants will have an individual login to use the platform, and have access to the modules and the measures that need to be filled out throughout the study. |
SIYA-PT has seven modules: Module 1 - Introduction Module 2 - Achievements and self-esteem Module 3 - Relationships and self-esteem Module 4 - Independence and self-esteem Module 5 - Dealing with adversities Module 6 - Self-acceptance Module 7 - Termination and continuation |
|
Övrig: Waitlist Control Group (WCG)
WCG will not receive the intervention while IG goes through SIYA-PT. The participants will have an individual login to access the platform to answer the self-reported measures weekly to monitor their well-being. The participants will also have access to messaging to be able to contact the clinical psychologist on the platform if there is increase in their, e.g., anxiety and depressive symptoms. After the end of IG intervention and the follow-up , three months, WCG will receive the same SIYA-PT intervention. |

The Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (RSE)
Tidsram: Pre-intervention (baseline), post-intervention (up to 8 weeks), and at the three-month follow-up
|
A 10-item self-report measure to assess global self-esteem. The RSE (Rosenberg, 1965; Pechorro et al., 2011) uses a 4-point Likert scale to rate agreement with the statements, from 0 (Strongly disagree) to 3 (Strongly agree). Scores vary from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating higher levels of global self-esteem. |

Robson Self-Concept Questionnaire (RSCQ)
Tidsram: Pre-intervention (baseline), post-intervention (up to 8 weeks), and at the three-month follow-up
|
A 30-item self-report measure to assess global self-esteem. The RSCQ (Robson, 1989) uses a 7-point Likert scale to rate agreement with each statement, from 0 (Completely disagree) to 7 (Completely agree). Scores vary from 0 to 210, with higher scores indicating higher levels of global self-esteem. |

A seven-item self-report measure to assess generalised anxiety disorder according to DSM-IV criteria. GAD-7 (Spitzer et al., 2006; Sousa et al., 2015) uses a 4-point Likert scale to rate how often one has experienced the described situation, from 0 (Never) to 3 (Almost every day). Scores vary from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating higher levels of anxiety. |
