BEHAVIORAL

ISSS

The ISSS aims to help participants acquire problem-solving (e.g., interpersonal problems) and time management based on the treatment manual of the therapy. Video introductions for each session and example teacher characters who depict the targeted problems and demonstrate implementation of coping/management techniques in a variety of situations. ISSS will use metaphors, daily examples, and lively narrative stories to enhance motivation for participation and understanding of the intervention contents. Session 2-5 will assign exercise and homework. Within 48 hours, participants will receive personalized written feedback (e.g., suggestions) from an e-Coach on the exercises they have completed. Participants can contact e-Coaches via the online system if they have any questions regarding the contents. Questions that beyond the contents will be referred to the health psychologist (PI) by e-Coaches.
