Abstract Background Post-traumatic stress disorder is a common occurrence in children that can affect their overall physical and mental functioning and quality of life. Early intervention can have significant health benefits for children. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of parents’ web-based training on the level of post-traumatic stress symptoms in children. Methods This study was a quasi-experimental one with two groups that is intervention and control group. 110 children aged 10 to 18 with traumatic stress symptoms and one of their parents were selected through available sampling. Data were collected by a researcher-made demographic questionnaire and the Child Revised Impact of Events Scale (CRIES-8). The control group received routine care, but the experimental group received a 4-week training course through a researcher-designed website. Two weeks after the intervention, the child stress level was measured and compared within both groups. Data were analyzed using SPSS V.22. Results The difference between the mean score of total traumatic stress and its subscales before intervention was not statistically significant (P=0.23). After intervention, however, the mean score of total traumatic stress and its subscales decreased in the experimental group and increased in the control group and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). Conclusions E-learning intervention by parents as a nursing intervention reduces the level of traumatic stress symptoms in children. This easy task of web-based training can be recommended to reduce the symptoms of traumatic stress and possibly to increase recovery in these patients.

Evidence shows that neonates feel pain. Treating pain of infants at the time of immunizations has become a crucial part of infant care. Pharmacological treatments are rarely used during procedures because of concerns about their effectiveness3 and potential adverse effects. Therefore, non-pharmacological interventions are valuable alternatives. Use of sucrose in preterm neonates has been advocated uniformly for pain relief. The present study had taken with the aim to assess the effectiveness of oral sucrose on level of pain during DPT immunizations among infants. Study design was quasi experimental method. Sample size of the study was 60 infants who were receiving DPT immunizations at Salem Poly Clinic. Data were collected from the subjects through Modified REILY pain assessment scale. Data analysis was done through descriptive and inferential statistics. Results of the study revealed the mean level of pain for experimental group 8.03+0.91 (53.53%) where as in control group it was 11.53+1.17 (77.53%) the difference in mean percentage was 24, which indicates decreased level of pain in experimental group than in control group. The researcher concluded that giving oral sucrose during the time of vaccination in infants acts as an effective non – pharmacological measure for pain management.

BACKGROUND Over a third of patients with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) do not respond to current interventions. Ketamine is one potential treatment avenue, however its effects are temporary. Administering ketamine alongside psychotherapy is one potential means of prolonging its effects, however, there are few studies investigating this treatment method to date, and none testing ketamine with electronic Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (e-CBT). OBJECTIVE The present study is an open label randomized controlled trial assessing the efficacy of a combined treatment of sub-anesthetic IV ketamine in conjunction with e-CBT to treat patients with PTSD. METHODS Twenty participants with refractory PTSD will be randomly assigned either to an experimental group receiving a combination of ketamine and e-CBT over 14 weeks, or they will be assigned to a waitlist-control group at the end of which they will receive the experimental treatment. Both groups will be assessed for symptoms of PTSD and comorbid disorders before treatment, midway, and at the end of the experiment. RESULTS Symptoms of PTSD for participants in the experimental group are expected to improve significantly more than participants in the waitlist-control group with at least a moderate effect size. CONCLUSIONS This will be the first experiment assessing the relationship between e-CBT and Ketamine and their combined ability to treat refractory PTSD. If successful, this study will open online/asynchronous therapeutic options to patients with PTSD and will provide new insights into the functional role of glutamate in trauma-related disorders as well as in learning, memory, and fear-extinction.

Background: Cognitive models propose that attentional dysregulation, including an attentional bias towards threat, is one potential mechanism underlying the association between chronic pain and post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS). We assessed the attentional bias for painful facial expressions and its relationship with PTSS, using both traditional and variability-based attentional bias measures, among veterans with chronic pain and PTSS and controls.Method: Fifty-four veterans with chronic pain and 30 age/education-matched controls participated in this investigation. Participants completed a self-report measure of PTSS and a dot-probe task with painful/happy/neutral facial expressions. Attention was assessed using both traditional and variability-based reaction time measures of attentional bias.Results: Veterans directed attention away from painful facial expressions (i.e., avoidance) relative to both the control group (between-subject effect) and relative to zero. Veterans showed significantly elevated attentional bias variability for happy and painful expressions compared to controls. Veteran’s attentional bias variability for happy expressions was correlated with PTSS and symptoms of depression.Conclusion: Veterans with chronic pain and PTSS avoided pain-related stimuli and displayed an overall attentional dysfunction for emotional facial expressions. Avoidance of pain cues may be a coping strategy that these individuals develop under stressful conditions. Implications, limitations, and directions for future are discussed.

BackgroundThe effectiveness of the testimony method has not been established in rural communities with survivors of prolonged civil war.AimsTo examine the effectiveness and feasibility of a testimony method to ameliorate post-traumatic stress symptoms.MethodParticipants (n=206) belonged to former war zones in Mozambique. They were divided into a case (n= 137) and a non-case group (n=69). The case group was randomly divided into an intervention (n=66) and a control group (n=71). Symptoms were measured during baseline assessment, post-intervention and at an 11-month follow-up.ResultsPost-intervention measurements demonstrated significant symptom reduction in both the intervention and the control group. No significant differences were found between the intervention and the control group. Follow-up measurements showed sustained lower levels of symptoms in both groups, and some indications of a positive intervention effect in women.ConclusionsA remarkable drop in symptoms could not be linked directly to the intervention. Feasibility of the intervention was good, but controlling the intervention in a small rural community appeared to be a difficult task to accomplish.

Abstract Background Exposure to trauma is common and can have a profoundly negative impact on mental health. Interventions based on trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy have shown promising results to facilitate recovery. The current trial evaluated whether a novel, scalable and digital early version of the intervention, Condensed Internet-Delivered Prolonged Exposure (CIPE), is effective in reducing post-traumatic stress symptoms. Method A single-site randomised controlled trial with self-referred adults (N = 102) exposed to trauma within the last 2 months. The participants were randomised to 3 weeks of CIPE or a waiting list (WL) for 7 weeks. Assessments were conducted at baseline, week 1–3 (primary endpoint), week 4–7 (secondary endpoint) and at 6-month follow-up. The primary outcome measure was PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5). Results The main analysis according to the intention-to-treat principle indicated statistically significant reductions in symptoms of post-traumatic stress in the CIPE group as compared to the WL group. The between-group effect size was moderate at week 3 (bootstrapped d = 0.70; 95% CI 0.33–1.06) and large at week 7 (bootstrapped d = 0.83; 95% CI 0.46–1.19). Results in the intervention group were maintained at the 6-month follow-up. No severe adverse events were found. Conclusions CIPE is a scalable intervention that may confer early benefits on post-traumatic stress symptoms in survivors of trauma. The next step is to compare this intervention to an active control group and also investigate its effects when implemented in regular care.
