Abstract:
Background: This review examined the effectiveness of behavioral interventions for adults
with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) triggered by physical injury or medical trauma. It
discusses implications in support of rehabilitation management for COVID-19 survivors diagnosed
with PTSD. Methods: This study adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews
and Meta-Analyses guidelines and the Interim Guidance from the Cochrane Rapid Reviews Methods
Group. The authors searched for randomized control trials in PubMed, Embase, and CENTRAL
databases up to 31 March 2021. Results: Five studies (n = 459) met the inclusion criteria. Each study
measured a different comparison of interventions. The certainty of the evidence was judged to be
very low for all outcomes. Post-traumatic stress disorder symptom reduction was found to be in favor
of trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy, cognitive therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy.
Cognitive function improvements were observed in favor of the cognitive processing therapy control
intervention. Conclusions: Overall, there is uncertainty about whether behavioral interventions
are effective in reducing PTSD symptoms and improving functioning and quality of life when the
disorder is triggered by a physical or medical trauma rather than a psychological trauma. Further
research should investigate their efficacy in the context of rehabilitation management and gather
evidence on this population.
