Background: According to the studies, cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of death in iran. Some patients suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder after surgery. Desensitization treatment with eye movements and reprocessing can lead to a significant improvement in the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, but little research has been done on the effect of this treatment on the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder in the research community.
Aims: This study was conducted with the aim of the effectiveness of desensitization treatment with eye movements and reprocessing on the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder in patients who underwent coronary artery bypass surgery.
Methods: This study is a pre-test, and post-test design with a control group, and the statistical population is patients who were referred to Tehran Cardiac Rehabilitation Clinic 4-6 weeks after coronary bypass surgery. Among these, a sample of 40 people was placed in 2 intervention and control groups by random sampling, and the assessment of people was based on the revised Weiss and Marmer impact of event scale in three stages: pre-test, post-test and follow-up (after six months) was done in both groups. Analysis of variance with intergroup repeated measurement was also used for data analysis.
Results: Statistical analysis shows that the desensitization treatment with eye movements and reprocessing leads to a significant reduction in the variables of avoidance, hyperarousal and unwanted thoughts (P 0.001), and its effect was sustained until the end of the six-month follow-up period.
Conclusion: According to the present study, desensitization treatment with eye movements and reprocessing using exposure and reprocessing of the traumatic event reduces the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder in cardiovascular patients. It is recommended to conduct studies with more samples.
