The Effects of a Psychoeducational Intervention on Health and Performance-based Outcomes of Veterans Diagnosed With PTSD

Description

Nova Southeastern University and the Veterans trust through this line of research will strengthen community engagement and awareness for the need to recognize and provide treatment models for veterans diagnosed with PTSD. The goal is to improve self-regulatory mechanisms within the racecar simulated-environment with the hope it translates to real-life scenarios. The design is a single-case approach with the application of range-bound changing criterion design. It will include elements of stress-inoculation therapy, cognitive processing therapy, optimal zones of functioning, biofeedback and psychological skills training. This particular design will allow for the collection and identification of the idiosyncratic differences between each participant which will guide how the data are collected and the tailoring of the intervention.
