Abstract
The SIX Cs model for Psychological First Aid (PFA): Empirical Evidence
THEME 1: Promoting stakeholder partnerships that protect, support and enhance resilience during adverse events and trauma
SUB 1.1The role of psychosocial services during adverse events and resultant trauma from a Human rights perspective
Oral Presentation
The acute stress responses (ASR) following traumatic events predicts post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD. There is a need for a short psychological first aid (PFA) that non-professionals can learn, to help mass casualties. This study tested the Six Cs model (Cognitive, Communication, Commitment, Continuity, Challenging and Control) in an experimental design on ASR signs.
Sixty-three participants were randomly assigned to the Six Cs intervention or to supportive emotional expression (controls). They listened to an emergency phone call. Before, immediately after, and 5min later participants' anxiety, heart-rate variability (HRV) and mental resilience were measured.
All Time x Group interactions were statistically significant: The Six Cs participants showed lower anxiety and less reductions in HRV and resilience than controls immediately after the stressor, and they recovered faster than controls on all three outcomes.
The results clearly demonstrate a profound superior effect of the SIX C's method over the control method, in all outcomes, immediately after a simulated stressor and 7min later, thus truly showing a better effect on resilience.
This study has implications for training people worldwide in a simple, effective and evidence-based method as a new form of PFA.
