Treating Trauma in Burn Victims Using the Community Resiliency Model

Data were collected at pre-treatment immediately following treatment and one week after treatment. Three separate mixed ANOVAs were run to assess the effect of CRM treatment over time. The dependent variables were derived from the Davidson Trauma Scale's three subscales Intrusive Avoidance/Numbing and Hyperarousal. Initial analyses revealed a significant main effect of time but no main effect of treatment across all three variables. Implications of the results are discussed with respect to psycho-physiological trauma theory and the positive effect of using a biologically-based model of treatment.
