Detaljeret beskrivelse
Interpersonal/domestic violence is a major public health concern that is associated with a high prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other adverse mental health outcomes. Although Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT) have each demonstrated effectiveness in reducing PTSD symptoms, few randomized controlled trials have directly compared their relative efficacy among survivors of interpersonal violence, particularly in low- and middle-income settings. This study addresses this evidence gap by evaluating and comparing CBT and MBT using a randomized controlled trial design.
This is a parallel-group randomized controlled trial with three study arms: (1) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), (2) Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT), and (3) psychoeducation as an active control. Approximately 60 adult survivors of interpersonal/domestic violence who meet DSM-5 criteria for PTSD following screening and diagnostic assessment will be randomly assigned in equal numbers to one of the three intervention groups. Participants will complete baseline, post-intervention, and follow-up assessments.
The primary objective is to compare the effectiveness of CBT, MBT, and psychoeducation in reducing PTSD symptom severity. Secondary objectives include evaluating changes in emotion regulation, mindfulness, perceived stress, and other related psychological outcomes following the interventions. The study hypothesizes that both CBT and MBT will produce greater reductions in PTSD symptoms than psychoeducation, while also examining whether one active intervention demonstrates superior effectiveness for specific PTSD symptom domains and psychological outcomes.
The findings will contribute to the evidence base for trauma-informed psychological interventions and may inform clinical practice by identifying effective, culturally relevant treatment approaches for survivors of interpersonal/domestic violence.

Eksperimentel: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured psychological intervention for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following interpersonal/domestic violence.
The intervention aims to reduce PTSD symptoms through psychoeducation, cognitive restructuring, behavioral techniques, coping skills training, and relapse prevention.
Participants will complete assessments at baseline, post-intervention, and follow-up.

Change in PTSD symptom severity will be assessed using the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5).
The PCL-5 is a validated 20-item self-report questionnaire measuring PTSD symptoms, with higher scores indicating greater symptom severity.
The primary analysis will compare changes in PCL-5 scores among the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT), and Psychoeducation groups.
