Abstract

To determine the effect of a novel brief general practitioner (GP)-led narrative exposure intervention on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms after intensive care. In adults with symptoms of PTSD after critical illness, a brief narrative exposure intervention was feasible and showed a reduction of symptoms, the effect was found to be sustained at 12 months' follow-up. These findings support the further evaluation of this intervention in primary care.
