ADVANCE: Adapting evidence-based guided internet-based treatment for Veterans with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Aim
This project aims to develop a bespoke military version of the Spring programme, a guided self-help online intervention for PTSD, developed by Cardiff University.
Method
First, the intervention will be pilot tested with treatment-seeking military Veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder/Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (stage one of the project). The intervention will be refined based on the outcome of stage one, then evaluated further in a feasibility RCT to determine the likely effect size, cost savings, and acceptability of the intervention (stage two of the project).
Research questions
Do military veterans with complex presentation of PTSD respond to a guided self help webapp?
Sample / Participants
10 veterans with PTSD from Veterans' NHS Wales will be recruited. Therapists and participants will be interviewed pre and post pilot for their feedback.
