工作背景：有必要在创伤事件发生后采取可获得的干预措施，并证明其有效性，以预防或减少心理健康的负面后果。创伤后应激障碍教练是一个移动的应用程序，已被证明是有效的减少创伤后应激障碍（PTSS）的症状。 目的：本研究的目的是评估用户满意度，感知的帮助和潜在的减少PTSS和抑郁症状的参与者使用瑞典版的PTSD教练。 方法：这是一项不受控制的测试前测试后开放试验，包括通过广告从社区招募的参与者和在过去五年中经历过潜在创伤事件的正在进行的观察性研究。参与者可以使用瑞典PTSD教练应用程序四周。 结果：11名参与者（平均年龄= 38.6，女性= 8）完成了研究。9名参与者符合完全或部分PTSD的标准。PTSD教练调查的结果表明，参与者发现该应用程序有轻微到中等程度的帮助，并对该应用程序有轻微到中等程度的满意度。从评估前到评估后，PTSS（PCL-5）和抑郁症（PHQ-9）的中等效应量出现了名义上但无统计学意义的减少。在访谈中，参与者表示，他们发现了一些因素，如学习PTSD，呼吸练习和监测症状有助于控制症状。然而，一些参与者表示，他们并没有像他们打算的那样使用该应用程序。参与者也有改进的建议，如增强应用程序的结构和更好的指导，就如何使用app. Conclusions：感知的帮助和用户满意度略低于研究的原始版本的apps. Experiences从研究进行了讨论，并建议未来的对照研究瑞典版的创伤后应激障碍教练。
Background: There is a need for accessible interventions in the aftermath of traumatic events with documented efficacy for preventing or reducing negative mental health consequences. The PTSD Coach is a mobile app that has shown to be effective in reducing symptoms of posttraumatic stress (PTSS). Objective: The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the user satisfaction, perceived helpfulness and potential reductions of PTSS and symptoms of depression among participants using the Swedish version of the PTSD Coach. Method: This was an uncontrolled pre-test post-test open trial including participants recruited from the community via advertisement and from an ongoing observational study who had experienced a potentially traumatic event in the last five years. Participants had access to the Swedish PTSD Coach app for four weeks. Results: Eleven participants (mean age = 38.6, female = 8) completed the study. Nine of the participants met criteria for full or partial PTSD. Results from the PTSD Coach Survey indicated that participants found the app slightly to moderately helpful and were slightly to moderately satisfied with the app. Nominal but not statistically significant reductions of medium effect sizes in PTSS (PCL-5) and depression (PHQ-9) from pre- to post-assessment were found. In interviews, participants indicated that they found elements such as learning about PTSD, breathing exercises and monitoring symptoms helpful in managing symptoms. However, several participants indicated that they had not used the app as much as they had intended to. Participants also had suggestions for improvements such as enhanced app structure and better guidance regarding how to use the app. Conclusions: The perceived helpfulness and user satisfaction were slightly lower compared to research on the original version of the app. Experiences from the study are discussed and a future controlled study of the Swedish version of the PTSD Coach is suggested.
