Testimony therapy can provide low-cost, brief, simple, and culturally adaptable psychosocial services in low-income countries (Agger, Raghuvanshi, Khan, Polatin, & Laursen, 2009). Nonetheless, there have been no well-controlled studies of testimony therapy. We report the analyses of a randomized controlled trial designed to assess the effectiveness of testimony therapy plus a culturally adapted ceremony in reducing mental health symptoms among Khmer Rouge torture survivors from across Cambodia. Using multilevel modeling, we compared symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression between a treatment (n = 45) and a control group (n = 43) at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. We found that testimony therapy plus ceremony significantly reduced symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (d = 0.49), anxiety (d = 0.44), and depression (d = 0.53).
见证疗法可以在低收入国家提供低成本、简短、简单且具有文化适应性的心理社会服务(阿格、拉胡万希、汗、波拉廷和劳尔森,2009年)。尽管如此,尚未有对见证疗法进行充分对照研究。我们报告了一项随机对照试验的分析结果,该试验旨在评估见证疗法加上一种文化适应性仪式在减轻柬埔寨各地红色高棉酷刑幸存者心理健康症状方面的有效性。我们使用多水平模型,比较了治疗组(n = 45)和对照组(n = 43)在基线、3个月和6个月时创伤后应激障碍、焦虑和抑郁症状。我们发现,见证疗法加上仪式显著减轻了创伤后应激障碍症状(d = 0.49)、焦虑症状(d = 0.44)和抑郁症状(d = 0.53)。
