Trauma-focused psychotherapies can be effectively delivered using a massed delivery format. Telehealth treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) using evidence-based interventions has been shown to be as effective as in-person treatment. However, the effectiveness of evidence-based treatments for PTSD over telehealth using the massed delivery format requires further examination. To examine the effectiveness of telehealth massed PTSD treatment, we report on a quality improvement study of 33 veterans (75.8% male; = 42.3, = 11.0) who participated in a virtual 4-week massed PTSD program at a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical center. Twenty-seven (81.8%) veterans completed the treatment and reported large reductions in PTSD ( = 1.48) and depressive symptoms ( = 1.08) at Week 4 and at 1-month follow-up (PTSD, = 1.34; depression, = 0.70). Results suggested that evidence-based treatment for PTSD can be effectively delivered in a massed format over telehealth in a VA medical setting.

以创伤为重点的心理治疗可以采用集中授课的形式有效开展。使用循证干预措施对创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）进行远程医疗治疗已被证明与面对面治疗同样有效。然而，采用集中授课形式通过远程医疗对PTSD进行循证治疗的有效性还需要进一步研究。为了检验远程医疗集中治疗PTSD的有效性，我们报告了一项质量改进研究，该研究涉及33名退伍军人（75.8%为男性；平均年龄 = 42.3岁，标准差 = 11.0），他们在一家退伍军人事务部（VA）医疗中心参加了一个为期4周的虚拟PTSD集中治疗项目。27名（81.8%）退伍军人完成了治疗，并报告在第4周和1个月随访时，PTSD症状（平均差 = 1.48）和抑郁症状（平均差 = 1.08）大幅减轻（PTSD，平均差 = 1.34；抑郁，平均差 = 0.70）。结果表明，在VA医疗环境中，基于循证的PTSD治疗可以通过远程医疗以集中授课的形式有效开展。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2025美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
