Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to measure the impact of these H.O.O.V.E.S. healing intensives on Veteran participants using several psychological instruments. The investigators are planning to administer the demographic questionnaires and psychological instruments to Veteran participants before the healing intensives. Psychological instruments will be administered immediately pre-intervention, pre- and post-session for each session, post-intervention, 90, 120 and 360 days post-intervention. The primary aim is to assess for statistically significant changes pre- to post session and pre- to post-intervention.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean Difference in AAQII pre- to post-session and pre- to post-interventionthrough study completion, an average of 5 years

AAQII is a 10-item measure that assesses psychological flexibility, with higher values indicating greater psychological inflexibility. The aim is to assess for statistically significant changes pre- to post session (1 day = a session) and pre- to post-intervention using paired t-test as well as ANCOVA adjusting for the significant demographic or diagnostic covariates.

Mean Difference in PCL pre- to post-session and pre- to post-interventionthrough study completion, an average of 5 years

PCL measures PTSD symptoms. The total PCL score can range from 17 to 85, with higher values indicating greater PTSD symptoms. The aim is to assess for statistically significant changes pre- to post session (1 day = a session) and pre- to post-intervention using paired t-test as well as ANCOVA adjusting for the significant demographic or diagnostic covariates.

Mean Difference in PTGI pre- to post-session and pre- to post-interventionthrough study completion, an average of 5 years

The Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) examines the post-trauma growth using 21 items. The aim is to assess for statistically significant changes pre- to post session (1 day = a session) and pre- to post-intervention using paired t-test as well as ANCOVA adjusting for the significant demographic or diagnostic covariates.

Mean Difference in STAI pre- to post-session and pre- to post-interventionthrough study completion, an average of 5 years

The STAI tracks the symptoms of anxiety, and the total score ranges from 20 to 80. The aim is to assess for statistically significant changes pre- to post session (1 day = a session) and pre- to post-intervention using paired t-test as well as ANCOVA adjusting for the significant demographic or diagnostic covariates.

Mean Difference in B-SCS pre- to post-session and pre- to post-interventionthrough study completion, an average of 5 years

The Brief Suicide Cognitions Scale (B-SCS) assesses the suicide risk. The aim is to assess for statistically significant changes pre- to post session (1 day = a session) and pre- to post-intervention using paired t-test as well as ANCOVA adjusting for the significant demographic or diagnostic covariates.

Mean Difference in PANAS pre- to post-session and pre- to post-interventionthrough study completion, an average of 5 years

PANAS measures short-term positive and negative emotions. The aim is to assess for statistically significant changes pre- to post session (1 day = a session) and pre- to post-intervention using paired t-test as well as ANCOVA adjusting for the significant demographic or diagnostic covariates.

Mean Difference in BDI pre- to post-session and pre- to post-interventionthrough study completion, an average of 5 years

The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) measures depressive symptoms, with higher values indicating greater depressive symptoms. The aim is to assess for statistically significant changes pre- to post session (1 day = a session) and pre- to post-intervention using paired t-test as well as ANCOVA adjusting for the significant demographic or diagnostic covariates.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean Difference in AAQII pre- to post-sessionthrough study completion, an average of 5 years

AAQII is a 10-item measure that assesses psychological flexibility, with higher values indicating greater psychological inflexibility. The aim is to assess for statistically significant changes between post sessions using the repeated measure ANOVA.

Mean Difference in PANAS pre- to post-sessionthrough study completion, an average of 5 years

PANAS measures short-term positive and negative emotions. The aim is to assess for statistically significant changes between post sessions using the repeated measure ANOVA.

Mean Difference in STAI pre- to post-sessionthrough study completion, an average of 5 years

The STAI tracks the symptoms of anxiety, and the total score ranges from 20 to 80. The aim is to assess for statistically significant changes between post sessions using the repeated measure ANOVA.
