Cognitive therapy coaching for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and depression in healthcare workers: Pilot development and evaluation

SHAPE is a brief, telephone-based coaching intervention which was developed during the COVID-19 pandemic to support healthcare workers experiencing PTSD and depression. Drawing on cognitive therapy for PTSD (CT-PTSD) and research into cognitive and behavioural risk factors in healthcare workers, the intervention was tailored to address the specific challenges of frontline healthcare roles. The session will summarise findings from the pilot study, including symptom outcomes across assessment points and recovery rates. it will also reflect on the practical application of CT-PTSD techniques in a coaching format, and consider the translation into an RCT.
