Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of the psychological triaging intervention (PTI) on the psychological distress and resilience capacity levels among the intern-nursing students during the COVID-19 crisis.

Research Hypothesis

Intern-nursing students who attend PTI exhibit lower COVID-19 related psychological distress level and higher resilience capacity than those who receive routine psychological support.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The intern-nursing students' psychological well-being and resilience are of indispensable significance during these unprecedented days. 64 Intern-nursing students. Sixty-four intern-nursing students who completed a preliminary survey and demonstrated both high level of psychological distress and low resilience capacity as a result of their exposure to patients with COVID-19 during their internship period were randomly assigned to two equal groups and the study group were engaged in the PTI intervention which followed the path of RAPID Psychological First Aid model.

The PTI intervention followed the path of RAPID Psychological First Aid model of John Hopkins University (Everly\& Lating 2012). The content of the PTI represents a simple structure that is revolved around five core phases including (R: establishing rapport and reflective listening, A: assessment, P: prioritization, I: intervention and D: disposition\& follow up).
