CUIDA-TE

CUIDA-TE is an APP that has been developed by the University of Valencia under the direction of Dr. Diana Castilla López, to facilitate the learning of Emotional Regulation tools. Its use is recommended in moments of high stress, in which managing emotions is more difficult. However, the content of the APP is educational, so it does not constitute psychological treatment and does not in any way replace the work of a professional.

This mobile application is intended to facilitate the learning of effective strategies for emotional regulation. The duration of use is up to you, although we recommend that you use it for at least 2 months since getting in shape on an emotional level is not achieved in a single day.

A first step in emotional regulation is to properly identify emotions. Sometimes we are only aware that we feel discomfort, without realizing if underneath that discomfort there is anger, anxiety, sadness or all of them at the same time. As part of its operation, the APP will regularly ask you how you are (and this will help you increase your emotional awareness) and based on your answers, it will offer you content appropriate to your mood (and this will allow you to learn new strategies emotional management).

CUIDA-TE is the result of a research project subsidized by the Generalitat Valenciana to improve emotional health (Conselleria d'Innovació, Universitats, Ciència i Societat Digital. 2021 “Urgent Aid for Research, Technological Development and Innovation Projects (I+ D+i) for covid19” Project ID: GVA-COVID19/2021/074). And it has been designed especially for health and social health personnel.

The research team has been made up of researchers from 3 Spanish universities: From the University of Valencia, Dr. Irene Zaragozá and Dr. Diana Castilla, from the University of Zaragoza, Dr. Mariví Navarro, Dr. Amanda Díaz and Dr. Irene Jaén, and from the Universitat Jaume I, Dr. Azucena García Palacios and Dr. Carlos Suso.
