PTSD develops after trauma and is marked by intrusive memories, avoidance of reminders, negative changes in mood and cognitive processes, and dysregulated physical and emotional stress reactivity. PTSD disparately affects twice as many women as men (8.0% vs. 4.1%), and finding effective treatments for these women is critical to reduce poor health outcomes associated with PTSD. Mind-body therapies (MBT), using the mind in combination with the body to facilitate healing hold promise to enhance PTSD treatment by improving stress regulation. While MBT reduce PTSD symptoms long-term, women with PTSD may initially experience distress, leading to treatment avoidance. This pilot study will explore women's initial responses to MBT, the prevalence of adverse responses, and which women are at risk for adverse responses in a sample of participants with a history of trauma and varying levels of PTSD symptoms. Study participants will attend one virtual study visit via one-on-one videoconference with the PI, where they will complete self-report measures of stress and affect before and after one session of a MBT exercise. A subset of the sample will complete a semi-structured individual videoconference interview with the PI within two weeks following completion of the MBT exercise and quantitative measures.

Primary | Change in Positive Affect | Positive affect will be measured with The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule-Short Form (PANAS-SF), a 20-item questionnaire with 10 items assessing positive affect and 10 items assessing negative affect. Participants will be asked to "indicate to what extent you feel this way right now, that is, at the present moment" on a five-point scale; 1 = very slightly or not at all, 2 = a little, 3 = moderately, 4 = quite a bit and 5 = extremely. The positive affect score is obtained by adding the scores on items 1, 3, 5, 9, 10, 12, 14, 16, 17 and 19. The range of the possible total score is 10-50 with higher scores indicating greater positive affect. | Baseline to 1-minute post body scan | |
Primary | Change in Negative Affect | Negative affect will be measured with The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule-Short Form (PANAS-SF), a 20-item questionnaire with 10 items assessing positive affect and 10 items assessing negative affect. Participants will be asked to "indicate to what extent you feel this way right now, that is, at the present moment" on a five-point scale; 1 = very slightly or not at all, 2 = a little, 3 = moderately, 4 = quite a bit and 5 = extremely. The negative affect score is obtained by adding the scores on items 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, 13, 15, 18 and 20. The range of the possible scores is 10-50 with higher scores indicating greater negative affect. | Baseline to 1-minute post body scan | |
Primary | Change in State Anxiety | State anxiety will be measured with The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State Form (STAI-S), a 20-item questionnaire with equal numbers of anxiety-present (e.g., "I feel tense") and anxiety-absent descriptors (e.g., "I feel calm"). Participants will be asked to indicate " how you feel right now, that is, at this moment" on a four-point scale; 1= not at all, 2 = somewhat, 3 = moderately so, 4= very much so. The anxiety-absent items (1, 2, 5, 8, 10, 11, 15, 16, 19, 20) will be reverse scored, and then all 20-items will be summed to obtain the state anxiety score. The range of the possible scores is 20-80; higher scores indicate greater state anxiety. | Baseline to 1-minute post body scan | |
Primary | Participant Experience (qualitative) | A subset of the sample (n=20) will complete a one-on-one telephone semi-structured interview to understand participant's perceived experience of the body scan exercise. | 2 weeks post the in-person study visit. |
