| Resumo: | Introduction: Psychological treatments are becoming an increasingly important component of medical healthcare, as a growingnumber of people seek treatment for a wide range of mental health problems. While these treatments are known to be effective, much remainsto be understood about their mechanisms and reasons for effectiveness. The study of statistical mediators is crucial in psychological research,as it is fundamental to understanding how psychological factors influence health, well-being, and human behavior, and thus to designingeffective psychological interventions. Aim: This study investigates the role of resilience as a treatment mediator in PROCARE+, a brieftransdiagnostic, personalized protocol for the selective prevention of emotional disorders in adolescents. This approach has proven effectivefor young people at risk of developing emotional issues. Method: We used simple mediation models in a sample of 153 adolescents to assessthe impact of interventions on resilience. Outcome variables included self-reported and parent-reported emotional risk, mood, anxietysymptoms, and quality of life. Discussion: The results of this study provide valuable information on how PROCARE+ works and how to improveits effectiveness, pointing to resilience as a key mediator in reducing the risk of developing emotional disorders and improving quality of life. |
