摘要
This study was designed to test the feasibility and child clinical outcomes for group-based trauma-focused cognitive behavior therapy (TF-CBT) for orphaned children in Tanzania. There were 64 children with at least mild symptoms of grief and/or traumatic stress and their guardians who participated in this open trial. The TF-CBT for Child Traumatic Grief protocol was adapted for use with a group, resulting in 12 weekly sessions for children and guardians separately with conjoint activities and 3 individual visits with child and guardian. Using a task-sharing approach, the intervention was delivered by lay counselors with no prior mental health experience. Primary child outcomes assessed were symptoms of grief and posttraumatic stress (PTS); secondary outcomes included symptoms of depression and overall behavioral adjustment. All assessments were conducted pretreatment, posttreatment, and 3 and 12 months after the end of treatment. Results showed improved scores on all outcomes posttreatment, sustained at 3 and 12 months. Effect sizes (Cohen's d) for baseline to posttreatment were 1.36 for child reported grief symptoms, 1.87 for child-reported PTS, and 1.15 for guardian report of child PTS. Resumen Este estudio fue disenado para evaluar la factibilidad y los resultados clinicos de la terapia grupal cognitivo conductual enfocada en trauma (TF-CBT) en ninos huerfanos de Tanzania. Hubo 64 ninos con al menos sintomas leves de duelo y/o estres traumatico con sus cuidadores, que participaron en este estudio abierto. El protocolo TF-CBT para duelo traumatico en ninos fue adaptado para uso con un grupo, resultando en 12 sesiones semanales para ninos y cuidadores en forma separada, con actividades conjuntas y 3 sesiones individuales con el nino y el cuidador. Usando un enfoque de tareas compartidas, la intervencion fue entregada por consejeros sin experiencia previa en salud mental. Los resultados primarios evaluados en los ninos fueron sintomas de duelo y estres postraumatico; los resultados secundarios incluyeron sintomas de depresion y adaptacion general del comportamiento. Todas las evaluaciones fueron realizadas pre-tratamiento, post tratamiento, y a los 3 y 12 meses despues de terminado el tratamiento. Los resultados mostraron mejoria en los puntajes en todos los seguimientos, post tratamiento, sostenido a los 3 y 12 meses. El tamano del efecto (d de Cohen) desde la linea basal a post tratamiento fue 1.36 para ninos que reportaron sintomas de duelo, 1.87 para estres post-traumatico reportado por los ninos, y 1.15 para sintomas de estres post- traumatico de los ninos reportados por su cuidador.
