Video-based Psychotherapy for COVID-19 Patients in Isolation Ward in Jakarta

"Participants in the group watched three short videos. Therapeutic elements in the three consecutive short videos included relaxation therapy, managing thoughts and feelings, and mindfulness. Each video has a duration of just over 10 minutes.~In the first video, the participants were introduced to the purpose and benefits of relaxation techniques. These included rhythmic breathing techniques, progressive muscle relaxation, imagining a comforting and quiet place, and positive self-talk. In the second video about managing thoughts and feelings, the participants were introduced to the notion of acceptance of their condition. They were invited to recognize the emergence of negative feelings and thoughts related to acceptance. In the last video about mindfulness, patients were introduced to three basic mindfulness skills: observation, elaboration, and participation."
