Abstract

Introduction: Cognitive-behavioral interventions are known as first-line treatments for anxiety disorders. However, complexities such as quarantine have made it difficult to provide face-to-face intervention. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of video-based cognitive-behavioral intervention on Health anxiety and Anxiety sensitivity of individuals with high levels of COVID-19 anxiety. Method: A semi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test design with the control group applied. According to the principles of diagnosis of Health anxiety in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5 and COVID-19 Anxiety Questionnaire, 138 participants with high levels of COVID-19 anxiety were selected by convenience sampling method and randomly assigned into two experimental (n = 69) and control (n = 69) groups. The experimental group received 10-session of video-based cognitive-behavioral intervention, whereas the control group remained in the waiting list. The research instruments included the COVID-19 Anxiety Questionnaire, the Short Health anxiety Inventory, and the Anxiety sensitivity Index. At the end, the data were analyzed by using statistical method of MANCOVA. Results: The results of this study showed that cognitive-behavioral intervention led to a reduction in Health anxiety and Anxiety sensitivity of experimental group participants (p<0. 001). In the meantime, the present intervention has been more effective for the components of Health anxiety. Conclusion: Due to the widespread public anxiety about COVID-19 as well as the complexities of face-to-face Cognitive-behavioral therapy, the use of video-based cognitive-behavioral intervention can be an immediate, concise, and inexpensive way to improve mental health of the community.
