This trial within a cohort aims to assess the prevalence of depression, burnout, and PTSD in health care workers and evaluate the efficacy of EMDR therapy.
Prospective cohort study with 3000 health care workers to estimate psychological symptoms.
Randomized open-label superiority trial with 900 participants assessing EMDR plus usual care vs. usual care alone.
Primary outcomes measured include changes in depression, burnout, and PTSD scores using validated scales over 6 months.
Preliminary findings indicate significant reductions in PTSD scores among EMDR participants at 6 months, specific metrics to be detailed post-analysis.
Expect improvements in burnout and depression scores, based on historical efficacy of EMDR in similar populations.
The overall acceptability of EMDR shows promising likelihood of continued use post-trial among health care workers.
