Brief Summary:
Primary care patients typically do not receive adequate PTSD treatment because of their reluctance to engage in empirically-supported treatments offered in specialty care settings Effective treatments for PTSD are also typically not provided in primary care Brief skill-based treatments offered in primary care may alleviate symptoms and prepare patients to engage in additional treatment VA primary care patients with PTSD N62 were recruited for a randomized clinical trial comparing a Primary Care-Brief Mindfulness Program PC-bMP to primary care-treatment as usual PC-TAU PC-bMP is a 4-week group program adapted from the 8-week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction MBSR curriculum Veterans in the PC-bMP condition demonstrated significantly greater decreases in PTSD and depressive symptoms from pre-treatment to post-treatment compared to PC-TAU These gains were maintained at 8 and 12 week follow-up PC-bMP participants experienced clinically significant decreases in PTSD averaging a 15-point drop on the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale Exploratory analyses revealed that the describing non-judging and acting with awareness facets of mindfulness may account for decreases in PTSD Our data support preliminary efficacy of a brief mindfulness-based intervention for Veterans with PTSD in primary care Further research is needed to investigate how PC-bMP may facilitate engagement into full length empirically-supported treatment for PTSD
