The aim of the research is to investigate the effect of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) levels of individuals who can be defined as high-risk groups during the pandemic. Therefore, the online EMDR R-TEP Protocol was applied to a total of 154 individuals working with coronavirus patients, frontline professionals (Doctors, Nurses, Paramedics, Polices, Red Crescent), relatives of coronavirus patients, coronavirus patients, and relatives of someone who died from coronavirus and the PTSD symptom level before, after, and 1 month after therapy was measured and examined. A personal information form and impact of events scale were used to collect data. Analyses showed that EMDR therapy was effective in reducing the PTSD level in all groups. The PTSD levels of frontline professionals continued to decrease until the follow-up test but remained the same in the other groups.
该研究的目的是调查眼动脱敏再处理（EMDR）疗法对在疫情期间可被定义为高危群体的个体创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）水平的影响。因此，在线EMDR R-TEP方案被应用于总共154名与冠状病毒患者打交道的人员、一线专业人员（医生、护士、护理人员、警察、红新月会工作人员）、冠状病毒患者的亲属、冠状病毒患者以及死于冠状病毒者的亲属，并测量和检查了治疗前、治疗后以及治疗后1个月的PTSD症状水平。使用个人信息表和事件影响量表来收集数据。分析表明，EMDR疗法在降低所有组的PTSD水平方面是有效的。一线专业人员的PTSD水平在随访测试前持续下降，但其他组保持不变。
