Abstract

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a highly prevalent disorder that could devastate patients’ daily live s. Military members and veterans are in the particular vulnerability to PTSD. Cognitive processing therapy aims to improve the cognition of PTSD patients. Digitalized cognitive processing therapy contains potentials in the treatment. However, currently, there is no relevant review on this topic. The current review sets out to summarize systematically on the effectiveness of cognitive processing therapy in military members. Databases PubMed, PsycINFO, Midline, and published articles were systematically searched from inception. Randomized controlled trials were included. We finally included seven studies that met the inclusion criteria. Digital CPT mainly adopted video conferencing, facetime, text messages, and an online forum to deliver the therapy. There is evidence that Digital cognitive processing therapy treatment was effective in Military members, especially veterans. Compared with other types of psychological interventions, such as individual psychotherapy, digitalized CPT was found to be not inferior. It was also found that the PTSD patients hold satisfactory attitudes towards the CPT in a digital way which was also reflected by the low dropout rate in the digital CPT group. It is concluded that digitalized CPT is full of potential and more research is needed to consolidate our findings and provide more evidence on the long-term effectiveness.
