简要总结
Background: Studies among Syrian refugees showed high prevalence rates of PTSD. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) in treating patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) using a clinical trial. Methods: Data will be obtained through interviewing patients seeking for PTSD treatment. Patients will be interviewed by a clinician and asked to complete the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS-5), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Assessments will be conducted at baseline, 3-, and 12-months posttreatment. The primary outcomes will be the scores of CAPS, BDI-II, and BAI. Results: we predict that CPT will result in greater reductions in CAPS scores.
详细描述
Although individuals with PTSD experience significant suffering, disability, and a challenging clinical course, there are still significant gaps in the evidence addressing effective treatment options. Therefore, in the current study CPT will determine the effectiveness in treating Syrian patients with PTSD. Current study significantly adds to the existing literature. It is a novel study in Egypt and adds to the literature.

主要结局
assessing change in CAPS-5 scores between three time points
时间窗: baseline (pre-intervention), posttreatment (immediately after the intervention), 12-months after the intervention
Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS-5; Weathers et al., 2015) is currently the gold- standard assessment for PTSD and is used to assess PTSD's symptoms at pre-intervention, immediately post- intervention, and 12-month after the intervention. This 30-item structured interview was developed by staff at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs National Center for PTSD. The interview can generally be administered in 45-60 minutes. Each question in CAPS asks about both the frequency and the severity of each PTSD symptom. These questions are split into categories. Each criterion has several questions, and scores for each criterion are added up at the end. The CAPS-5 has demonstrated strong psychometric properties (Weathers, et al., 2018).
次要结局

- assessing change in Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) scores between three time points(baseline (pre-intervention), posttreatment (immediately after the intervention), 12-months after the intervention)
