Evaluación participativa piloto de un programa virtual de apoyo en trauma para adultos autistas

5 de junio de 2026 actualizado por: University of Wyoming

Eficacia de una intervención de trastorno de estrés postraumático (TEPT) para adultos autistas en salud bioconductual

El objetivo de este ensayo clínico de un solo grupo es conocer la eficacia inicial y la viabilidad de la terapia de exposición escrita (WET) proporcionada por telesalud para adultos autistas con síntomas de estrés traumático. Las principales preguntas que los investigadores pretenden responder son:

  • ¿Disminuyen los síntomas del trastorno de estrés postraumático (TEPT) y los problemas de salud mental concurrentes después de recibir WET?
  • ¿Mejoran los resultados de salud biocomportamentales, incluidos los objetivos (indicadores de Fitbit de actividad, sueño y frecuencia cardíaca) y las variables de salud informadas subjetivamente (p. ej., sueño, dolor, calidad de vida relacionada con la salud), después de recibir WET?
  • ¿Cómo experimentan los adultos autistas WET y cómo se puede modificar y mejorar este programa en el futuro en colaboración con adultos autistas?

Los participantes completarán lo siguiente como parte del estudio, que se completa en su totalidad a través de telesalud.

  • Los participantes primero completarán una evaluación inicial, que incluirá medidas breves de cognición y rasgos autistas, así como entrevistas y cuestionarios sobre TEPT, salud mental y salud física. Si son elegibles, los participantes procederán a los siguientes pasos:
  • Los participantes elegibles comenzarán a usar un Fitbit, que se utilizará durante la duración del estudio.
  • Luego, los participantes participarán en 5 visitas virtuales semanales que involucran el protocolo WET, incluida una breve evaluación semanal de PTSD y salud mental y física.
  • Luego, los participantes completarán una sexta visita virtual la semana siguiente en la que se evaluarán el TEPT, la salud mental y física y los comentarios sobre el tratamiento.
  • Por último, los participantes completarán visitas virtuales 1 y 6 meses después, lo que implicará una nueva evaluación del TEPT y la salud mental y física.

Por lo tanto, este es un diseño de grupo único previo y posterior, donde todos los participantes recibirán WET para establecer la eficacia y viabilidad iniciales. Los investigadores también consultarán con un consejo asesor autista a lo largo del proyecto y harán las adaptaciones recomendadas en consulta con adultos autistas. El objetivo es comprender mejor la eficacia inicial y la viabilidad de WET para apoyar a los adultos autistas que han experimentado un trauma.
