Cognitive processing therapy for posttraumatic stress disorder due to COVID-19-related traumas: a case study
Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been associated with a multitude of physical, psychological, and psychosocial issues including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). While the presence of posttraumatic symptoms has been reported in the general population, little is known about the prevalence of PTSD in patients who experienced a traumatic COVID-19 infection or sequelae. There are currently no documented reports on the treatment of PTSD in patients with COVID-19-related index traumas. The present case study details the use of cognitive processing therapy for PTSD in a patient with multiple COVID-19 infections and post-COVID-19 syndrome. The patient successfully completed treatment and reported a clinically significant change in PTSD symptoms, providing preliminary support for this evidence-based treatment protocol among patients with COVID-19-related index traumas. This case study highlights the need for PTSD symptom screening among patients with COVID-19 and referral to evidence-based psychological interventions. Recommendations for providers who regularly interface with patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and provide trauma-focused treatments are provided.

“To the best of our knowledge, only one study (Bogucki and Sawchuk, 2022) (Chennapragada et al., 2022), which makes it difficult to address comorbid EDs, for instance, anxiety and depressive symptoms that are simultaneously present in COVID-19 patients (Joli et al., 2022).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
