Intervenciones de gratitud

Why / when / how

Gratitude interventions can improve well-being and relieve symptoms of anxiety and depression. The certainty of the evidence for the critical outcomes is low. This is why the recommendation is conditional in favor, because the balance between benefits and harms is favorable, albeit with lower certainty.

Cautions

Before intervening on social connection, consider the person's preferences, autonomy, and context, and individualize the approach while respecting their decisions. Pay attention to situations such as severe isolation, grief, and psychosocial risk that require more intensive support. Advise seeking professional care in the presence of warning signs regarding the person's mood and safety, and refer to psychosocial support and, where appropriate, mental health care when the situation requires it. Reassess the course periodically.
