abstract = {ObjectiveTo explore the impact of trauma interventions using mindfulness based extinction and reconsolidation (TIMBER) on post-traumatic stress symptoms in rehabilitation patients with limb dysfunction after accidental trauma.MethodsConvenient sampling was used to select 46 rehabilitation patients with limb dysfunction after accidental trauma (impact of event scale-revised, IES-R total score ≥33) admitted to Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital from March 2022 to May 2023.They were randomly divided into an intervention group (TIMBER intervention) and a control group (health education of knowledge about mental health). IES-R, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and Self-Rating Scale of Sleep (SRSS) were employed to survey the participants before (T1), at the end of (T2), and 1 month after intervention (T3).The changes in post-traumatic stress symptoms, anxiety symptoms, depression symptoms, and sleep were compared between the 2 groups of patients.ResultsThere were no statistically differences in demographic information and various psychological variables between the 2 groups at T1(P>0.05).The intervention group got their total and various dimensional scores of IES-R, and scores of anxiety, depression, and sleep at T2 and T3 significantly decreased when compared with these scores at T1(P < 0.01), and all the scores at T2 and T3 were obviously lower in the intervention group than the control group (P < 0.05).Compared with T1, the avoidance and intrusion scores and total IES-R score were declined in the control group at T2 and T3, with statistical significance (P < 0.05), while no such differences were observed in the scores of high alertness, anxiety, depression, and sleep (P>0.05).ConclusionTIMBER significantly improves the post-traumatic stress symptoms, anxiety symptoms, depression symptoms, and sleep in rehabilitation patients with limb dysfunction after accidental trauma.}
