简要总结
The main aim of the present process-outcome study is to evaluate the feasibility and the effects of an EMDR-IGTP-OTS group intervention on a sample of people with cancer, by using a process-outcome study design, with repeated measures.
详细描述
The diagnosis of cancer represents a potentially life-threatening event that can be considered a unique traumatic stressor. A cancer diagnosis can disrupt a person's life, affecting emotions, cognition, and physical pain impacting the individual sense of identity. Findings from the literature suggest that EMDR can be a valid treatment in the processing of cancer-related traumatic events. With this proposal, the investigators aim to evaluate the feasibility and the effects of a combined EMDR Integrative Group Treatment Protocol and an optional EMDR individual protocol for people with cancer.

研究组 & 干预措施
EMDR Treatment Group
Participants receive an integrated EMDR intervention consisting of the EMDR Integrative Group Protocol (IGTP-OTS) followed by additional individual EMDR sessions when needed. The treatment focuses on processing traumatic memories related to personal experiences cancer-related.
干预措施: EMDR-IGTP-OTS (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R)
时间窗: Baseline (T1) and Post-intervention (T2, approximately 1 month), Follow-up (T3, approximately 3 month)
Impact of Event Scale-Revised range: The scale is composed by 22 items, each scored 0-4 (Min Score: 0; Max Score: 88). A higher score indicates a higher intensity of post-traumatic stress symptoms
