Study Description

The objective of the study is to test an online therapeutic game which, being an evidence-based prevention tool for children and adolescents, might contribute to preventing emotional disorders in children and adolescents aged between 8-16 years old diagnosed with a chronic physical disease. REThink is a scientifically validated therapeutic game for children and adolescents to improve their emotional skills. The enrollment will take place both online and in pediatric medical institutions. The research study will include one parent of the eligible child/adolescent. The children and adolescents will be randomized into two equal groups: the intervention group which benefits of the entire REThink game and the treatment-as-usual group which benefits of a free trial version of the app. Three assessments will be performed to evaluate the variables of interest: before intervention (baseline), after intervention (post-intervention), and a follow-up six months after the post-intervention assessment was performed.
