About this app

CUIDA-TE is a mobile application developed by the University of Valencia under the direction of Dr. Diana Castilla López to facilitate learning emotional regulation tools. Its use is recommended during times of high stress, when managing emotions is more difficult. However, the app's content is educational and does not constitute psychological treatment, nor does it replace the work of a professional in any way.

This app is designed to facilitate learning effective emotional regulation strategies. You choose the duration of use, although we recommend using it for at least two months, as emotional well-being is not achieved overnight.
A first step in emotional regulation is to properly identify emotions. Sometimes we are only aware that we feel discomfort, without realizing whether that discomfort stems from anger, anxiety, sadness, or all of these at once. As part of its operation, the app will regularly ask you how you are feeling (which will help you increase your emotional awareness) and, based on your answers, will offer content appropriate to your mood (allowing you to learn new emotional management strategies).
CUIDA-TE is the result of a research project funded by the Valencian Government to improve emotional health (Conselleria d’Innovació, Universitats, Ciència i Societat Digital. 2021 “Urgent Aid for Research, Technological Development and Innovation (R&D&I) Projects due to COVID-19” Project ID: GVA-COVID19/2021/074). It has been designed especially for healthcare and social care personnel.

The research team consisted of researchers from three Spanish universities: Dr. Irene Zaragozá and Dr. Diana Castilla from the University of Valencia; Dr. Mariví Navarro, Dr. Amanda Díaz, and Dr. Irene Jaén from the University of Zaragoza; and Dr. Azucena García Palacios and Dr. Carlos Suso from Jaume I University.
