Written Exposure Therapy for Childbirth-related Post-Traumatic Stress (SCRIBE)

2026年11月6日 更新者:Amanda Koire、Brigham and Women's Hospital

Written Exposure Therapy (WET) for the Treatment of Childbirth-related Post-Traumatic Stress: A Pilot Study

In this research study, the investigators hope to determine whether Written Exposure Therapy is a feasible intervention for postpartum women experiencing trauma symptoms related to childbirth to complete. Written Exposure Therapy involves five structured psychotherapy sessions that can be conducted over telehealth.

研究概览

详细说明

Childbirth-related posttraumatic stress disorder (CB-PTSD) affects approximately one in twenty women after any given childbirth. Postpartum women are faced with unique barriers to accessing and engaging in evidence-based treatment for PTSD. Aside from avoidance, limited time and financial and logistical barriers regarding childcare can make it difficult to engage in long-term therapy or travel to frequent in-person visits. Therefore, postpartum individuals may find a brief telehealth-based intervention, Written Exposure Therapy, to be highly appealing and well-aligned with the demands of postpartum parenting.

Written exposure therapy (WET) is a highly protocolized evidence-based brief psychotherapeutic intervention for the treatment of PTSD that may be promising for women with CB-PTSD. WET consists of 5 treatment sessions. In the first, patients receive brief psychoeducation about PTSD and avoidance as a maladaptive behavior that maintains PTSD symptoms. In each of the five sessions, the patient writes about the same single traumatic event with a focus on feelings and cognitions during the event and how the event has affected their lives. Written exposure therapy can be conducted via telehealth, does not require between-session assignments for patients, is non-inferior to cognitive processing therapy and prolonged exposure therapy, and involves only four total hours of treatment, thus decreasing treatment time by 50-80% compared to other evidence-based psychotherapies for PTSD. This study aims to assess whether postpartum individuals would find such an intervention feasible and be able to maintain engagement to complete the protocol.

研究衡量的是什么?

主要结果指标

结果测量
措施说明
大体时间
Feasibility (retention rate)
大体时间:From date of the first WET session until the date of the fifth WET session, withdrawal from the study, or determination of loss to follow-up, whichever occurs first (estimated average assessment period: 6 weeks).

Feasibility will be measured retention rate across five Written Exposure Therapy (WET) sessions. Retention rate is defined as the number of participants who complete all five WET sessions divided by the total number of participants who engaged in at least one WET session. A higher value indicates higher retention. We expect at least 75% of enrolled participants will complete treatment once initiated.

From date of the first WET session until the date of the fifth WET session, withdrawal from the study, or determination of loss to follow-up, whichever occurs first (estimated average assessment period: 6 weeks).
Feasibility (Engagement rate)
大体时间:From the date of enrollment until the date of the first WET session, withdrawal from the study, or determination of loss to follow-up, whichever occurs first (estimated average assessment period: 4 weeks).

Engagement will be measured as the number of participants who engaged in at least one Written Exposure Therapy session divided by the number of women who enrolled in the study. A higher value indicates higher engagement. We expect at least 75% of enrolled participants will engage in treatment.

From the date of enrollment until the date of the first WET session, withdrawal from the study, or determination of loss to follow-up, whichever occurs first (estimated average assessment period: 4 weeks).
Acceptability (Credibility)
大体时间:Baseline

Credibility will be measured using the pre-intervention credibility/expectancy questionnaire (CEQ) which assesses patient perception of whether treatment seems logical and useful. Credibility is scored as the sum of the first three scale items on the credibility/expectancy questionnaire. Scores range from 3-27, with higher scores indicating greater credibility.

Baseline
Acceptability (Satisfaction)
大体时间:Study exit survey approximately 4 weeks after final WET session.

Satisfaction will be measured as total score on the post-intervention Client Satisfaction Questionnaire-8 (CSQ-8) survey. Scores range from 8-32, with higher numbers indicating greater satisfaction.

Study exit survey approximately 4 weeks after final WET session.

次要结果测量

结果测量
措施说明
大体时间
Changes in PTSD Symptoms Assessed by the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5
大体时间:From enrollment to study exit survey approximately 4 weeks after the final written exposure therapy session.

The PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) is a 20-item self-report measure that assesses the 20 DSM-5 symptoms of PTSD. Scores range from 0 to 80 and a score at or above 28 is indicative of probable CB-PTSD. A 9 point change represents reliable change.

From enrollment to study exit survey approximately 4 weeks after the final written exposure therapy session.
Changes in EPDS Symptoms Assessed by the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale
大体时间:From enrollment to study exit survey approximately 4 weeks after the final written exposure therapy session.

The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) is a 10-item self-report questionnaire used during pregnancy and postpartum to screen for perinatal and postpartum depression. Scores range from 0-30 and a score at or above 10 is indicative of a positive screen for perinatal depression. A 4 point change indicates reliable change.

From enrollment to study exit survey approximately 4 weeks after the final written exposure therapy session.
Changes in PSS Symptoms Assessed by the Perceived Stress Scale
大体时间:From enrollment to study exit survey approximately 4 weeks after the final written exposure therapy session.

The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) is a 10-item self-report questionnaire designed to assess perceptions of recent stress. Scores range from 0 to 40, with higher scores indicating higher perceived stress. A 6 point change indicates reliable change.

From enrollment to study exit survey approximately 4 weeks after the final written exposure therapy session.
