Abstract
Objective: Several primary studies examined the effectiveness of various psychotherapies in treating earthquake-related posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Variations in methods, employed psychotherapy approaches, and differences across studies warrant a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Method: In this study, first, a systematic review of experimental studies aiming to reduce the symptoms of PTSD in the aftermath of an earthquake was carried out. Second, a meta-analysis of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and narrative exposure therapy (NET) was conducted.
Results: Several psychological treatments were used for treating earthquake-related PTSD. However, only CBT and NET were tested in multiple studies. Meta-analysis results suggested that CBT and NET significantly reduce earthquake-related PTSD symptoms compared to control groups.
Conclusions: Results suggest that CBT and NET are promising psychological treatment options. Further research on NET and other major PTSD interventions (e.g., prolonged exposure, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, cognitive processing therapy) is needed.

目的:几项主要研究考察了各种心理疗法在治疗与地震有关的创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)方面的有效性。研究方法、采用的心理疗法以及不同研究之间的差异都需要进行系统回顾和荟萃分析:本研究首先对旨在减轻地震后创伤后应激障碍症状的实验研究进行了系统回顾。其次,对认知行为疗法(CBT)和叙事暴露疗法(NET)进行了荟萃分析:结果:有几种心理疗法被用于治疗与地震有关的创伤后应激障碍。然而,只有 CBT 和 NET 在多项研究中进行了测试。元分析结果表明,与对照组相比,CBT 和 NET 能显著减轻地震相关创伤后应激障碍症状:结论:研究结果表明,CBT 和 NET 是很有前景的心理治疗方案。需要对 NET 和其他主要创伤后应激障碍干预方法(如长时间暴露、眼动脱敏和再处理、认知加工疗法)进行进一步研究。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有)。
