It significantly impairs individuals' ability to cope with daily activities and disrupts their emotional and psychological equilibrium.
Symptoms and Behavioral Manifestations
A spectrum of distressing symptoms characterizes PTSD. Recurrent flashbacks, where individuals involuntarily relive traumatic events,...

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry and Psychology
  • Digital Health
  • Clinical Research Methodology

Background:

  • Trauma exposure significantly elevates the risk of developing psychopathology, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
  • Understanding the acute phase of PTSD development is crucial for effective early intervention strategies.
  • Limited research exists on symptom trajectories in the initial 30 days post-trauma due to data collection challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and utility of a mobile phone application for collecting daily symptom data in the acute post-trauma period.
  • To assess participant engagement and burden associated with mobile data collection in trauma survivors.

Main Methods:

  • A mobile phone application was used to collect daily symptom data from 23 individuals experiencing a Criterion A traumatic event.
  • Participants were recruited from an Emergency Department at a Level 1 Trauma Center.
  • Data collection occurred over a 30-day period, with response rates analyzed against PTSD and depression symptoms at 1 and 3 months.

Main Results:

  • Participants completed an average of 44.93% of daily assessments over the 30-day period.
  • Response rates were not correlated with PTSD or depression symptom severity at 1-month and 3-month follow-ups.
  • Participants found the mobile surveys moderately helpful and reported minimal burden.

Conclusions:

  • Mobile applications represent a viable and low-burden method for collecting symptom data during the acute post-trauma phase.
  • This technology can facilitate research into the early course of post-trauma recovery and inform intervention development.
  • Further research can leverage mobile health tools to better understand and support individuals after traumatic events.
