Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This randomized controlled trial compares the effectiveness of a guided digital self-compassion intervention and a printed workbook for reducing perceived stress in a universal prevention setting. The study reports significant within-group improvements in stress, depression symptoms, and self-criticism for both formats, but finds no statistically significant differences between them at eight weeks or six-month follow-up. The resource is intended for researchers and clinicians interested in low-threshold mental health promotion strategies.
