Resumen

This article aimed to explore the feasibility and clinical utility of the online Unified Protocol to improve emotional regulation with women diagnosed with breast cancer. Method. Research with a quantitative, exploratory, descriptive and interactive approach, with a quasi-experimental design, preposttest for paired samples. Nine women with an average age of 53 years (SD= 9.5; range from 41 to 71) participated in a psychological intervention of 12 weekly 90-minute sessions. A statistically significant change (p <.05) between pre and post-test measurements in Anxiety (t= 2.777; p= .024), Quality of life (Z= -2.670; p= .008), Optimism (t= -2.785; p= .024) and Positive Affect (t= -3.834; p= .005) were found. The size of the effect was moderate in Optimism and big in Anxiety, Quality of life and Positive Affect. High levels of treatment satisfaction were found. The intervention was useful to improve the emotional regulation of women with a medical condition in a pandemic context.
