Nuno Cravo Barata

Abstract: COVID-19 caused significant social and individual changes, with serious consequences for the mental health of patients exposed to the disease. In this regard, a quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlacional study is presented, which sought to assess the effect of the hypnotherapeutic intervention model on the treatment of signs and symptoms leading to anxiety and depression diagnoses, as well as the quality of dyadic adjustment in patients with COVID-19. The findings demonstrated the effectiveness of the hypnotherapeutic procedure in reducing anxiety and depression-related symptoms as well as improving the quality of dyadic adjustment.
