Brief Summary

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

This study aimed to (1) develop an internet-based psychiatric nursing intervention, based on Swanson's theory of caring, and (2) examine its effects on functional health, resilience, social support, post-traumatic stress, depression, and anxiety.

This study was a randomized clinical trial(RCT) study with repeated measures to identify the effectiveness of an internet-based psychiatric nursing intervention. Participants were evaluated at the following time points: pre-test (pre), post-test (post-test 1, immediately after intervention), and follow-up (post-test 2, one month after the intervention) to assess the sustainability of the internet-based psychiatric nursing intervention.

Of the 112 women who enrolled in the study, 10 dropped out before post-test 1, resulting in 102 participants who completed all interventions and surveys.

Nursing intervention

Nurses randomly assigned by applying a random selection method

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

The trauma recovery nursing intervention program

Intervention Type OTHER

The trauma recovery nursing intervention program was for adults who had experienced trauma and consisted of eight sessions, each lasting 30 min. It included a spoken audio track that was accompanied by visual prompts to provide knowledge on traumatic stress and introduce trauma recovery methods. Its online format made it convenient and widely accessible, and allowed for a low-intensity, cost-effective educational program. The program focused on providing self-help guidelines for clients to develop their mental and physical well-being.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. nurse aged from 23 to 40 years
2. a PTS score of 64 or lower on the PTSD checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) developed by Weathers et al., revised by Weathers et al., and translated into Korean by Kim et al.,
3. nurse who can access the program through a computer or mobile
4. nurse who understand the purpose of the research and voluntarily agree to participate in the research.

Exclusion Criteria

1. presence of psychiatric conditions with hallucinations and delusions
2. diagnosis of an intellectual disability that would make understanding the intervention procedure difficult. Although a standard cut-off was not present in the PCL-5, women who exceeded 80% (64 points) of the total score were excluded to rule out high-risk women with severe trauma.
