Outcome measures
Primary outcome
PTSD symptoms from baseline to post-intervention. The change in PTSD symptoms between the experimental and control group is compared at post-intervention.
Secondary outcome
Secondary outcomes are: Anxiety, Depression, Anger/Aggression, Dissociation, Sexual Concerns and General behavioral problems
Background summary
The main objectives of the present study are: assessing the effectiveness of the POPP-treatment program in girls aged 3-6 years with posttraumatic stress reactions following sexual abuse
Study objective
POPP treatment will lead to more PTSD symptom reduction compared to wait list.
Study design
The assessments will be conducted at baseline (T1), three months later at post-intervention (post-immediate POPP treatment, or at the end of waiting list: T2), and six months later (follow-up of immediate POPP treatment or post-treatment in the waiting list condition: T3)
Intervention
The POPP treatment program is based on Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT) techniques, with a newly described central position for projection and healing play. Ten treatment sessions (for a maximum of 60 minutes each) are offered, along with parental guidance. Under the waiting list condition, the POPP treatment program starts after three months.
