Summary

Common mental disorders can be disabling and lead to a large burden of disease. Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders was developed to address emotional disorders with evidence-based emotional-focused cognitive-behavioural techniques and is efficacious in reducing anxiety symptoms and depressive symptoms in adults. Previous research has demonstrated comparable effect of UP on reducing anxiety symptoms compared with the single-disorder protocol (SDP) for anxiety. Group-based UP was also implemented and tested. Given the fact that working populations are at a high risk of poor mental health, especially in light of the COVID pandemic with new unprecedented work situations and increased uncertainties, the present study aims to investigate the efficacy of Unified protocol on sleep and mental health in high-risk population.
