简要总结
This study looks at a treatment program for children and teens who have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after sexual abuse. The program is called II-TF-CBT. It is a special version of Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), a type of cognitive behavioral therapy that helps people process trauma. II-TF-CBT is used with patients who stay in the hospital during treatment.
Researchers want to know if II-TF-CBT helps young patients recover as well as, or better than, standard outpatient treatment. Outpatient treatment means patients visit the clinic but do not stay overnight.
The study compares two groups. One group of 42 patients received II-TF-CBT during a hospital stay. The other group of 33 patients received standard outpatient treatment. Patients needing inpatient care were placed on an admission waiting list and admitted as their turn came; the remaining patients continued outpatient follow-up. Group placement therefore happened naturally, without researcher intervention.
Doctors measured each patient's PTSD symptoms and related problems before treatment, after treatment, and at a follow-up visit. This will help show whether inpatient TF-CBT-based care can help children and teens recover from trauma.

研究组 & 干预措施
II-TF-CBT (Inpatient)
Patients hospitalized for treatment who received the II-TF-CBT protocol - an inpatient adaptation of Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) that includes an added Intake phase prior to the standard TF-CBT components. Patients were admitted from a waiting list of children and adolescents requiring inpatient care for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following sexual abuse. Group assignment occurred naturally based on bed availability and admission order, not by researcher allocation. N=42.
干预措施: II-TF-CBT (Behavioral)
Outpatient Follow-up (Control)
Patients who continued standard outpatient treatment for PTSD following sexual abuse, without hospitalization. These patients remained on outpatient follow-up because they did not require or were not admitted for inpatient care. Group assignment occurred naturally based on clinical need, not by researcher allocation. N=33.
结局指标
主要结局
Change in Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) Score
时间窗: Baseline, Week 2, and Week 4)
The CGI-S is a clinician-rated scale assessing the overall severity of the patient's psychiatric symptoms on a 7-point scale, ranging from 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients). Change in CGI-S score over the course of treatment reflects overall clinical improvement in trauma-related symptom severity. Scores range from 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients). Higher scores indicate greater illness severity (worse outcome).
