Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The investigators will develop a six-session intervention package for use with patients at the Los Angeles County + University of Southern California Burn Center. The intervention will translate CBT principles that have been validated with trauma survivors, but will be adapted to hospitalized burn patients. After manual development, we will pilot-test this treatment on 15 patients who are medically stable, and not critically ill, intubated, or delirious. Treatment will consist of three 50-minute CBT sessions per week, involving mindfulness-focused relaxation training, graduated exposure to memories of the burn, psychoeducation, and cognitive restructuring. Assessment will include standardized tests of posttraumatic stress, anxiety, and depression, administered at the initiation and termination of treatment, and at one-month follow-up. Also assessed will be number of hospital days to discharge and participant satisfaction with treatment. We will evaluate the overall feasibility of conducting a study on PTSD prevention in burn survivors, as measured by initial recruitment success, subsequent dropout rates at the end of treatment and at the one-month follow-up, and participant satisfaction. These data will then be used to support a subsequent application for funding of a larger-scale randomized clinical trial (RCT) study.

Brief Treatment for Acutely Burned Patients (BTBP)
Brief Treatment for Acutely Burned Patients (BTBP)
Brief Treatment for Acutely Burned Patients (BTBP) adapts CBT principles that have been validated with non-burn trauma survivors to the treatment of hospitalized burn patients. BTBP consists of three 1 to 1½ hour sessions per week for two weeks, as well as two sessions for family members or partners/spouses.
