Summary

Primary objective is to evaluate the feasibility of delivering an online early Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) Recent Traumatic Events Protocol (R-TEP) to patients who have survived Covid-19 related critical illness, within the context of a randomised controlled trial (RCT).

This will inform the design of a future RCT investigating the effectiveness of EMDR R-TEP in reducing psychological symptoms, for adult survivors of intensive care.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Recent traumatic Event Protocol

EMDR is a form of psychotherapy treatment whereby the client verbally relates a narrative of a traumatic episode or emotionally disturbing material in brief sequential doses while simultaneously focusing on an external stimulus. The EMDR Recent-Traumatic Events protocol (R-TEP) aims to enable an individual to process memories of the event in order to reduce psychological morbidity. EMDR R-TEP should be delivered within 3-months of the onset of a traumatic event.
