The study presented 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 in children. Basic issues of this disorder such as concept, risk factors affecting children, clinical characteristics, and diagnostic criteria according to DSM-5 were mentioned. At the same time, the study also reviewed assessment and intervention methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy and relaxation techniques, to support students in overcoming post-traumatic stress disorder.
The results of the intervention showed that clients had reduced symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, improved mood, challenged and replaced unhealthy, unhelpful beliefs, and practiced coping with stressful situations. At the same time, clients were able to apply skills to manage stress, prevent recurrence of trauma as well as other problems in their lives, increase self-confidence, and strengthen social skills.
11. Practical applicability: From the results obtained through the process of theoretical research and practical clinical intervention, the thesis has contributed more evidence for the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral approaches in intervening symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. At the same time, the limitations of the thesis also provide new practitioners with lessons to increase the effectiveness of future therapy.
