Abstract :
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive-analytical therapy on acute stress disorder syndrome and dissociative experiences of traffic-related injuries.Methodology: The research was quasi-experimental with pre-test, post-test and control group design. All the injured in traffic accidents referred to the orthopedic and trauma wards of Haft-e-Tir Hospital formed the research community. Thirty patients with inclusion criteria were selected by the available method and were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. Data were collected in addition to the Mississippi Traumatic Stress and Dissociative Experiences Scale. The intervention group received the treatment plan for 16 sessions in 1 hour weekly sessions but the control group did not receive this program. Data were analyzed by t-test (independent and paired) and multivariate analysis of covariance.Findings: Cognitive-analytical program has been effective in reducing the score of acute stress disorder and its dimensions in the subjects of the intervention group (P<0.05). There was a significant difference between the mean scores of dissociative experiences of the two groups in the post-test period (P<0.05).Conclusion: Research findings indicate the effectiveness of this emerging treatment method. It seems that due to the combination of treatment and the active role of the patient in it, it is more suitable for patients with trauma and stressor-related disorder.
