A Feasibility Trial of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy- Integrative Treatment Group Protocol for Ongoing Traumatic Stress In Road Traffic Accident Survivors for Reduction of Post-traumatic Stress Symptoms
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Post Traumatic Stress Symptoms, Quality of Life (QOL), Stress
In brief
Road traffic accidents (RTAs) are a significant public health concern globally, accounting for a substantial proportion of morbidity and mortality. This study evaluates the feasibility and acceptability of the Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Integrative Group Treatment Protocol for Ongoing Traumatic Stress (EMDR-IGTP-OTS) in the reduction of posttraumatic stress symptoms, depression, and anxiety, while improving the quality of life in individuals who have experienced traffic accidents. Using a randomized control design, participants aged 18-45 will be assessed at three-time points: pre-treatment, post-treatment, and one-month follow-up. The study employs the DASS-21, UIES-R, and WHOQOL-BREF as evaluation measures. Findings aim to expand evidence on trauma-focused interventions and explore their applicability in culturally diverse, resource-constrained settings.
