Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Psychiatry
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) often access primary care, but providers lack specialized training.
  • Patients with PTSD are frequently reluctant to seek specialty mental health care.
  • Existing web-based medical education lacks evaluations for PTSD training for primary care providers (PCPs).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a web-based training program designed to improve PCPs' knowledge and skills in managing military-related PTSD.
  • To assess the impact of the training on PCPs' comfort levels and clinical practice regarding PTSD.
  • To gather qualitative feedback on the training's effectiveness and identify areas for improvement.

Main Methods:

  • A 70-minute, four-module web-based training on military-related PTSD was developed for PCPs.
  • Seventy-three PCPs completed pre-training, post-training, and 30-day follow-up assessments.
  • Paired t tests analyzed changes in PTSD knowledge and skills comfort; qualitative methods summarized participant feedback.

Main Results:

  • Mean knowledge scores improved significantly from 46% to 75% correct items post-training, with sustained improvement at 30 days.
  • PCPs reported significantly greater comfort with PTSD-related skills 30 days post-training.
  • 47% of PCPs reported applying training content in their clinical practice; qualitative feedback highlighted appreciation for flexibility but suggested more interactivity.

Conclusions:

  • Web-based PTSD training can effectively enhance PCPs' knowledge and comfort in managing PTSD symptoms.
  • Improving PCP competency in PTSD may address access barriers and better serve veterans' mental health needs.
  • Online, self-paced training offers a flexible solution for medical education, though interactivity could be enhanced.
