The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of an online Cognitive-Behavioral intervention on stress, coping, and resilience in a group of women during the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Employing a single-group pre-test and post-test design and an intentional non-probabilistic sampling, 43 participants received training in cognitive-behavioral techniques, during five synchronous sessions on a videoconferencing platform.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Participants reported moderate perceived stress before and after the intervention (Mdn =15). Changes were observed in four of the five dimensions of the Mexican resilience scale (p≤0.05; r≥0.442) as well as, in the distancing and positive appraisal subscales of the ways of coping questionnaire (p≤0. 05; r≥0.456).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Telepsychology is a low-cost, feasible, and effective remote intervention modality to promote more adaptive coping and resilience behaviours during a health emergency.</p>}, number={2}, journal={International Journal Of Community Medicine And Public Health}, author={Becerra Gálvez, Ana L. and Pérez, Alejandro and Lugo, Isaías V. and Pérez, Yuma Y. and Franco, América G. and Medina, Erick A. and Anguiano, Sandra A.}, year={2022}, month={Jan.}, pages={652–658} }
