Mediators of Change in Online Trauma Intervention
Study Overview
This study explores how early online interventions for trauma can help. It focused on a 3-week therapist-guided program that uses prolonged exposure therapy, comparing it to a waiting-list control group.
Key Findings
The research aimed to see if improvements in specific PTSD symptoms during the intervention could lead to better outcomes later on. The symptoms studied included:
- Intrusions
- Avoidance Behaviors
- Negative Changes in Thoughts
- Hyperarousal
Results showed that reducing avoidance behaviors during the intervention helped lower symptoms of intrusions, negative thoughts, and hyperarousal one month later.
Practical Solutions
This study emphasizes the need to focus on avoidance behaviors in early online trauma interventions. Addressing these behaviors can lead to significant improvements in overall PTSD symptoms.
Limitations
Some findings were sensitive to certain assumptions, which is a limitation of the study.
