This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial studied an online self-help program designed to help people with psychotic disorders who hear voices. The program combined mindfulness training, thinking-skills exercises, and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques delivered through worksheets, audio files, and interactive activities that participants worked through at their own pace over six weeks. The researchers wanted to see whether this online program could help reduce or manage the distressing experience of hearing voices.
Many people with psychotic disorders struggle with auditory hallucinations (hearing voices), and this can be difficult to treat with medication alone. This trial was designed to test whether an accessible, self-paced online program could offer additional help to people living with this challenging symptom.
Participants were randomly assigned to either receive the online self-help program immediately or to a waitlist control group. Those in the program group worked through the six-week online intervention at their own speed while continuing their regular psychiatric care. All participants completed questionnaires about their symptoms at the start and after six weeks. Some participants also took part in interviews to discuss their experience with the program and how it affected their hallucinations.
