Effectiveness and mechanisms of networked psychological interventions for post-traumatic stress disorder
Post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD)is a highly distressing and disabling psychological condition that imposes a significant health burden worldwide.Due to its accessibility and anonymity,networked psychological interventions have been widely applied in the treatment of PTSD.This study reviewed the"top-down"and"bottom-up"approaches of networked psychological interventions and their effectiveness,finding that most interventions yielded favorable outcomes for PTSD.To further explore the psychological mechanisms underlying these interventions,this study constructed a dual mechanism model for networked PTSD interventions:a cognitive-behavioral therapy model based on cognitive restructuring and a cognitive bias modification model based on cognitive distortions.This provides both theoretical and practical guidance for networked PTSD interventions.Future research could incorporate technologies such as chatbots and virtual reality tools to offer immediate support and personalized interventions,thereby achieving a more comprehensive digital intervention process and enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of networked PTSD treatments.
