Abstract
Introduction: Nursing students are becoming more aware of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as a result of emotional strain, clinical exposure, and academic stress. PTSD symptoms may be lessened by structured psychotherapy programs that include coping mechanisms and psychoeducation.
Methodology: Sixty nursing students participated in a quantitative pre-experimental one-group pre-test-post-test design. Over the course of four weeks, an organized intervention program was implemented. A standardized PTSD checklist was used to measure PTSD levels both before and after the intervention. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data.
Results: The results demonstrated that following the intervention, PTSD ratings significantly decreased. The posttest mean (30.4 ± 5.2) was statistically significant (p < 0.05) compared to the mean pretest score of 48.2 ± 6.5.
Conclusion: Structured intervention programs are effective in reducing PTSD symptoms among nursing students and should be integrated into nursing education.
