10. Summary of the thesis results:
This study presents an overview of post-traumatic stress disorder in students, including a review of key studies and epidemiological data from around the world, Vietnam, and especially within the child population. Fundamental issues concerning this disorder, such as its concept, risk factors affecting children, clinical characteristics, and diagnostic criteria according to the DSM-5, are addressed. Simultaneously, the study also discusses assessment and intervention methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy and relaxation techniques, to help students overcome post-traumatic stress disorder.
Intervention results showed that the client experienced a reduction in post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms, improved mood, challenged and replaced unhealthy and unhelpful beliefs, and practiced coping with stressful situations. Simultaneously, the client was able to apply skills to manage stress, prevent recurrence of trauma and other problems in their life, increase self-confidence, and strengthen social skills.
11. Practical Applicability: Based on the results obtained through theoretical and practical research in clinical case intervention, this thesis has contributed further evidence to the effectiveness of the cognitive-behavioral approach in intervening in the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. At the same time, the limitations of this thesis also provide new practitioners with lessons to improve the effectiveness of future therapy.
