Brief Summary:
Participants
Participants would be recruited from different women's shelters Homes. An Initial sample would be included total 200 participants. The final sample would be comprise 60 participants with age ranges will be 20 to 60 years. For collecting the sample, the Simple Random Sampling technique would be used. In this research, women with PTSD would be divided into two equal groups that would be n= 30 as the control group and n=30 experimental group through random assignment (See Fig.1: CONSORT Flowchart Diagram). One group diagnosed with PTSD would be providing 10 to 12 sessions of CBT. One other group diagnosed with PTSD depending on n=30 would not be provided CBT sessions. This research will be divided into 3 parts. In first initial procedure will be performed in which participants will be selected by simple random sampling. All women who live in shelters will be part of the study. After choosing the participant demographic form will be filled out. In demographic form information related to participants will be taken. This information will consist of age, gender, marital status, sibling, children, education, and financial status. In the second step, a standardized tool will be used to measure the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. The pre-test will be taken from participants following: 1) LWMAT will measure the marital adjustment level of participants, 2) IPVSS will be for assess partner violence stigma symptoms, Domestic Violence Scale to measure domestic violence, PHQ-9 for measuring depression level, and PCL-5 for PTSD related symptoms according to DSM 5TR. A participant who has a high rate of PCL-5 and shows PTSD symptoms will be chosen for the experiment. Further, participants will be divided into two groups. One group is the experimental group n=30 and the second will be the control group n=30. In the next step, CBT techniques will be provided to the experimental group by the trained therapist. Following CBT techniques will be provided psycho-education, behavioral activation, problem-solving, cognitive conceptualization, stigma reduction, and relapse prevention. Furthermore, the control group will not be provided with CBT techniques. At the end of this procedure, patients will be re-assessed through the same measures as the post-test. All these assessments will be interpreted according to a given method by the author. A paired t-test will be used to find a correlation between the pre-test and post-test. Statistics will be applied using SPSS 26.0. Session frequency will be once a week and last approximately 40-45 minutes. The tentative duration would be 3 months. The session would be conducted one-on-one sitting in the women's shelter setting.
Eligibility Criteria
Participants that will be participated in this research would be Women who experienced domestic violence and who are meeting the DSM-V diagnostic criteria of PTSD with at least one year of history of marital issues. Only those women who live in the Shelters will be part of the research. Women with separation, divorced/widowed, single, and with medical comorbidity will be excluded from the study. Women who have physical problems will be excluded. Those women who intended to research will be part of the research. Women who have no PTSD symptoms will be excluded. The age ranges between 20 to 50 years will be included. Greater than 50 years and less than 20 years women will be excluded.
Interventions
CBT-based treatment plan would be designed to address PTSD and associated problems. 10-12 sessions will be structured having particular agendas. In each session, the therapist would try to achieve the target goal using particular techniques, interventions, and modalities to address the target goals.
