This review article presents existing research describing how information technologies can be used to improve mental health services for trauma survivors, either by enhancing existing treatment approaches or as a stand-alone means of delivering trauma-relevant interventions. The potential ways in which technology aids in overcoming barriers to care are first addressed in terms of providing mental health treatment. The use of technologies enables shifting the locus of care from the traditional provider's office to mobile, online, and virtual environments which are less threatening for patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), helping to overcome the core nature of the illness which includes avoidance and increased personal isolation. We then outline how different technological tools can be used for key therapeutic tasks and conclude by discussing key emergent issues that are shaping current and future use of electronic technologies as part of the continuum of care for trauma-related disorders such as PTSD.
这篇综述文章介绍了现有研究，描述了信息技术如何用于改善创伤幸存者的心理健康服务，既可以通过增强现有的治疗方法，也可以作为提供与创伤相关干预措施的独立手段。本文首先从提供心理健康治疗的角度，探讨了技术在克服护理障碍方面的潜在应用。使用技术可以将护理地点从传统的提供者办公室转移到移动、在线和虚拟环境，这对于患有创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的患者来说威胁较小，有助于克服包括回避和增加个人孤立在内的疾病核心性质。然后，我们概述了如何使用不同的技术工具来完成关键的治疗任务，并通过讨论正在形成当前和未来使用电子技术的关键新兴问题来结束本文，这些问题是作为 PTSD 等创伤相关障碍连续护理的一部分。
