1 Reducing Intrusive Memories of Trauma Using a Visuospatial Interference Intervention With Refugees With Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): A Test of Replication to a New Population

This research study is designed to investigate the use of a simple cognitive task for decreasing the number of intrusive memories of traumatic events experienced by refugees and asylum seekers with a diagnosis of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) currently living in the UK. The intervention includes a memory reminder cue, a 10-minute time gap and then around 20 minutes playing the mobile phone game Tetris, using mental rotation instructions. The study will have a multiple baseline case-series design (AB), with a randomised duration of baseline length up to three weeks. Thus, participants will complete a no-intervention phase of up to three weeks, followed by an intervention phase. Please see the intervention section for more details about the intervention sessions. Follow ups are conducted after each week to monitor the frequency of intrusive memories of trauma in a pen-and-paper diary. It is predicted that participants will report fewer intrusive memories after receiving the intervention than in the preceding baseline phase.

MeSH:Disease Stress Disorders, Traumatic Stress Disorders, Post-Traumatic Mental Disorders Psychological Trauma Trauma and Stressor Related Disorders Wounds and Injuries

Primary Outcomes

Description: Number of intrusive memories of traumatic events recorded by participants in a daily pen and and paper diary.

Measure: Frequency of intrusive memories

Time: Baseline weeks 1-3, throughout the duration of the intervention phase (approximately 5 weeks), post-intervention weeks 1-2 and for 1 week 2 months post-intervention. Change is assessed from baseline to post-intervention.

Secondary Outcomes

Description: A brief bespoke measure of concentration adapted from that used previously with refugees (Holmes et al., 2017). It has three questions about disruption to concentration from intrusive memories. A higher score on each question means a worse outcome.

Measure: Concentration

Time: Baseline, 2-weeks post-intervention and 2-months post-intervention

Description: Developed by Woodfield Trauma Service. The measure asks how many hours the person has spent doing various activities in the past two weeks (for example, domestic chores, exercise, cultural activities). A higher score means a better outcome.

Measure: Social and Occupational Activity Tally (SOAT)

Time: Baseline, 2-weeks post-intervention and 2-months post-intervention

Description: Four items from the Dissociative Experiences Scale II - items two, three, 14 and 20 (DES II; Carlson, & Putnam, 1993). Each item asks how often (from 0% to 100% of the time) the dissociative experience described happens to the individual. A higher score on each question means a worse outcome.

Measure: Dissociation

Time: Baseline, 2-weeks post-intervention and 2-months post-intervention

Description: The PCL-5 (Weathers, Litz, Keane, Palmieri, Marx, & Schnurr, 2013) is a 20-item self-report measure that assesses the 20 DSM-5 symptoms of PTSD. Total scores can range from 0 to 80, with higher scores meaning a worse outcome.

Measure: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Checklist for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5) (PCL-5)

Time: Baseline and 2-weeks post-intervention

Description: The PHQ-9 (Kroenke, Spitzer & Williams, 2001) is a nine-item self-report measure that assesses the nine DSM-IV symptoms of depression. Total scores can range from 0 to 27, with higher scores meaning a worse outcome.

Measure: Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9)

Time: Baseline and 2-weeks post-intervention

Description: The WHO DAS 2.0 (World Health Organisation, 2010) is a measure of health and disability. Total scores can range from 0 to 48, with higher scores meaning a worse outcome.

Measure: World Health Organisation Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHO DAS 2.0) 12 item version

Time: Baseline and 2-weeks post-intervention

Other Outcomes

Description: A bespoke measure to assess adherence to self-guided practice of the intervention. It includes four questions to assess how often, and for how long, the person played Tetris after experiencing intrusive memories during the previous week.

Measure: Self-Guided Intervention Adherence Questionnaire

Time: Time Frame: Intervention sessions 2-5, 1 week post-intervention, 2 weeks post-intervention and 2 months post-intervention.

Description: A bespoke questionnaire to gain feedback on the intervention. It includes 16 questions to assess acceptability and usefulness of the intervention with a variety of response options including yes/no, visual analogue scales and open responses.

Measure: Feedback Questionnaire

Time: 1-week post-intervention.
