DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application responds to NIMH PA-10-038, "Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health" with a proposed study examining the major public health priority of how to achieve sustained use of evidence- based psychotherapies. It builds on the existing infrastructure and preliminary findings from a RC1 MH088454 that investigated the initial adoption of two evidence-based treatments (Prolonged Exposure - PE and Cognitive Processing Therapy - CPT) for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in an unprecedented roll out occurring in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) residential treatment settings. An understanding of factors influencing sustained use of evidence-based practices among VA PTSD treatment providers are urgently needed due to an influx of over a million soldiers returning from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and a recent unexpected flood of Vietnam Veterans entering treatment. When inadequately treated, PTSD can become a chronic disorder contributing to substantial psychological and physical impairments, as well as social and occupational disabilities. Utilizing a theory-driven, empirically-based, multi-level framework, this application proposes to follow for several years clinicians from the VA residential PTSD treatment settings who were studied in the RC1 to determine the extent to which their use of PE and CPT have been sustained and in what form. The investigation assesses organizational and clinician factors expected to influence sustained use, with particular emphasis placed on clinicians' perceptions of the therapies, organizational support, social networks and peer opinion leaders. Another innovative feature of the proposed research is an examination of the extent to which sustained use of these two evidence-based treatments translates into improved patient outcomes, veterans' PTSD symptoms, substance abuse, violent behavior, and employment will also be examined. The proposed study will be conducted in partnership with the Northeast Program Evaluation Program (NEPEC), which monitors all VA mental health programming nationwide, and the National Center for PTSD, which oversees the dissemination of PE and CPT nationally in VA. Quantitative and qualitative assessments of psychotherapy providers in residential PTSD treatment settings will include online self-administered questionnaires, semi-structured interviews and structured reflective journaling. Measures of PE and CPT fidelity include clinician self-report, clinician encounter progress notes from de-identified national database, and interaction with standardized patients. Implementation outcomes will be conceptualized in terms full, partial, and modified sustained use by programs and individual providers, as well as patient psychiatric outcomes.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请是对NIMH PA-10-038“健康传播和实施研究”的回应，其中提出了一项研究，旨在检查如何持续使用循证心理治疗的主要公共卫生优先事项。它建立在现有的基础设施和初步调查结果，从一个RC 1 MH 088454，调查了最初采用两种循证治疗（延长暴露- PE和认知加工疗法- CPT）的创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）在一个前所未有的推出发生在退伍军人事务部（VA）住宅治疗环境。由于从伊拉克和阿富汗战争返回的100多万士兵以及最近意外涌入的越南退伍军人进入治疗，迫切需要了解影响VA PTSD治疗提供者持续使用循证实践的因素。如果治疗不当，创伤后应激障碍可能成为一种慢性疾病，导致严重的心理和身体损伤，以及社会和职业残疾。利用一个理论驱动的，基于实践的，多层次的框架，该应用程序提出了几年的临床医生从VA住宅PTSD治疗设置谁在RC 1中进行了研究，以确定他们使用PE和CPT的程度已经持续和以何种形式。该调查评估了预期影响持续使用的组织和临床医生因素，特别强调临床医生对疗法的看法、组织支持、社交网络和同行意见领袖。拟议研究的另一个创新特征是检查持续使用这两种循证治疗方法在多大程度上转化为改善患者预后，还将检查退伍军人的创伤后应激障碍症状，药物滥用，暴力行为和就业。拟议的研究将与东北计划评估计划（NEPEC）合作进行，该计划监测全国所有VA心理健康计划，以及国家创伤后应激障碍中心，该中心负责监督全国范围内的PE和CPT的传播。在住宅PTSD治疗环境中对心理治疗提供者的定量和定性评估将包括在线自我管理问卷，半结构化访谈和结构化反思日志。PE和CPT保真度的测量包括临床医生自我报告、来自去识别国家数据库的临床医生就诊进展记录以及与标准化患者的互动。实施结果将概念化的全部，部分和修改的持续使用的程序和个人提供者，以及病人的精神结果。
