Barriers to delivering trauma-focused interventions for people with psychosis and post-traumatic stress disorder: A qualitative study of health care professionals' views.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Trauma-focused interventions have been shown to be effective treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and clinical guidelines support their use with people with psychosis. Despite this, they are used relatively infrequently in this population. We sought to explore UK health care professionals' perceptions of what impedes or facilitates the use of trauma-focused interventions among people with psychosis and PTSD.

Design

A qualitative study using constructivist grounded theory methodology.

Methods

We conducted semi-structured interviews with 18 health care professionals working within the commissioning and delivery of clinical services for people with psychosis.

Results

Three inter-related barriers to the use of trauma-focused intervention
