Co-produced digital therapy improves emotional distress in bereaved individuals, suggesting a viable alternative to traditional CBT.
Background: Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) affects a significant minority of bereaved individuals, leading to persistent emotional distress and functional impairment for six months or more. While cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) with a grief specific focus is effective, access is limited due to the resource demands of in-person therapy. Guided digital therapies offer a promising alternative, but research on their use in the UK remains limited.
