This study was a quasi-experimental design that was aimed at understanding the impact of interactive television-based art therapy for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms among school children who have experienced abduction. Participants took part in a 12-week art therapy delivered through interactive television. The result showed that art therapy was effective in reducing PTSD symptoms. A follow-up assessment after 6 months showed a steady decline in PTSD symptoms among participants in the treatment group when compared with their counterparts in the non-treatment group. The implications of these results have been discussed and recommendations made.
本研究采用准实验设计，旨在了解基于交互式电视的艺术疗法对遭受绑架的学童创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状的治疗效果。参与者参加了为期12周的通过交互式电视进行的艺术疗法。结果表明，艺术疗法在减轻PTSD症状方面有效。6个月后的随访评估显示，与非治疗组的参与者相比，治疗组参与者的PTSD症状持续下降。本文讨论了这些结果的意义并提出了建议。
