Integrating digital and in-person therapy for PTSD: feasibility and acceptability of blended trauma-focused cognitive therapy in routine care.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Access to evidence-based psychological therapy for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is limited. Blended Trauma-focused Cognitive Therapy (bTF-CT), merging internet-modules with a few therapy sessions, may be a pathway to enhance treatment access while maintaining the benefits of face-to-face therapy.

Objectives

This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of bTF-CT for PTSD in routine care, as well as the feasibility of assessments and data collection.

Method

A single-arm design was adopted. bTF-CT was provided to 17 participants across two psychiatric and one primary care clinic. Assessments were conducted pre, during, post and 6-months following treatment. We assessed feasibility and acceptability via se
