Nurse-led CBT-I on Servicemembers with PTSD in a Residential Treatment Facility
Abstract
The purpose of this pilot pre-test, post-test quasi experimental study is to examine the impact of nurse-led intervention of administering Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT-I) therapy on a population of Servicemembers diagnosed with PTSD receiving behavioral health treatment at a Residential Treatment Facility (RTF). When properly trained, Nurses are in a unique position to lead CBT-I programs on behavioral health units. The skillset that a Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse possesses in conducting group therapy has been used effectively to perform CBT-I in the civilian market but this has not translated into military medicine. We wish to explore the effectiveness of a nurse-led CBT-I program in a large, regional Military Medical Center and its impact on Servicemembers being treated for PTSD.
