Abstract:
We report the results of a pilot study regarding the adaptation of the group EMDR protocol for the
treatment online, for the management of trauma associated with the COVID-19 Pandemic in Italy. The
target group were health care workers in a nursing home (Residenza sanitaria assistita, RSA) who
decided to live and stay on site during the most acute phase of the Pandemic in order to protect the
residents of the home. Scores for perceived PTSD symptoms and quality of emotional experience
improved significantly following participation in the therapy programme. These preliminary results
confirm the innovative potential of the EMDR protocol when used online on early intervention, to
prevent the development of later psychological disturbances.
