Evaluation of a trauma therapy programme within emergency service organizations
Abstract
Background Occupational health practitioners working in emergency services, where employees are exposed to a higher level of physical or psychological trauma, need to be able to access trauma therapy programmes which are economically viable and effective in reducing post-traumatic stress disorder and associated symptoms of anxiety and depression. Aims The aim of this review is to provide evidence on benefits of a short-term organizational programme of trauma therapy using NICE (2018) [1] recommended interventions. Methods The review examined the pre- and post-therapy clinical scores from 429 emergency service professionals (ESPs) who were employed in five police forces, two fire and two ambulance services. The ESPs in higher risk roles were in a psychological surveillance programme, with those found to be experiencing clinically significant levels of trauma-related symptoms being referred to a psychologist for an assessment which identified the ESPs requiring trauma therapy. At the end of the therapy, the symptoms of the ESPs were re-assessed, and the scores before and after the therapy were compared. Results The results showed a significant improvement in the level of symptoms, with 81% of ESPs no longer exhibiting clinically significant trauma symptoms and 6% showing an increase in symptoms. In addition, the clinical results also showed improvements in ESPs' perceived work capacity and quality of social relationships. Conclusions The findings indicate that there are clinica…

In the citing paper
“The intervention effectively reduced anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms post-treatment compared to pre-treatment.”
In the citing paper
“Overall, the results of five studies showed that the interventions EFT, exposure-based CBT, EMDR, MBSR, CBT-PD, and the Trauma Therapy Program were successful in reducing psychological distress and/or subclinical symptoms [49,52,56,57,60].”
In the citing paper
“Furthermore, the long-term effectiveness of some interventions cannot be assessed because ten completed studies on these interventions did not report follow-up measurements [21,27,35,36,37,40,41,47,53,57].”

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.
