Emotional Distress Clinical Trial
Official title:
Reducing Secondary Distress in Violence Researchers: a Randomised Trial of the Effectiveness of Group Debriefings.
The objectives of the study were: To (1) describe the epidemiology of emotional distress experienced by Ugandan violence researchers; to (2) assess the effectiveness of group debriefings in mitigating secondary distress; to (3) assess risk and protective factors. Eligible participants were 59 Ugandan researchers employed by the Good Schools Study (GSS, NCT01678846) to interview children and adults who experienced violence. Recruited participants were randomly assigned to group debriefings (intervention) or film viewing (control). The primary outcome was change in levels of emotional distress.
Background: Secondary distress including emotional distress, vicarious trauma (VT) and
secondary traumatic stress (STS) due to exposure to primary trauma victims have been
described in helping professionals and in violence researchers. To our knowledge, there are
few prevalence studies, and no tailored interventions have been tested to reduce secondary
distress in violence researchers.
Objective: To (1) describe the epidemiology of emotional distress experienced by Ugandan
violence researchers; to (2) assess the effectiveness of group debriefings in mitigating
secondary distress; to (3) assess risk and protective factors.
Methods: An unblinded, individually randomised trial with parallel assignment was conducted.
Eligible participants were 59 Ugandan researchers employed by the Good Schools Study (GSS,
NCT01678846) to interview children and adults who experienced violence in the district of
Luwero, Uganda. 53 researchers agreed to participate and were randomly allocated. The
intervention group (n=26) participated in three group debriefings and the control group
(n=27) participated in three leisure sessions (film viewing).The primary outcome was change
in levels of emotional distress (SRQ-20); secondary outcomes were levels of VT and STS at
end-line.
