dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT) intervention in treating PTSD and depression among the students of Free University of Great Lake Countries and La Sapientia University in Goma, The Democratic Republic of Congo. A combination of purposive, stratified, and simple random sampling techniques was used in this study. The study used a sample size of 147 male and female university students (18-25 years) and adopted a quasi-experimental research design. The instruments of data collection used were the socio-demographic questionnaire, PTSD Scale for DSM-5(PCL-5), BDI-II for depression and LEC Self-Report instrument. The experimental group was exposed to TF-CBT intervention for twelve weeks and data was analyzed using the SPSS Version 22. The study established that the prevalence of PTSD and depression among the participants was at 25.8% and 34.5% respectively, while the most common types of traumatic events were very stressful events or experiences (63.5%). Sexual assault (p=0.000) was the most correlated with PTSD and depression. TF-CBT intervention had a significant effect on the treatment of PTSD (MD = ± 12.213; p=0.000) and depression (MD = ± 7.526; p=0.000). The findings showed that TF-CBT was effective in the treatment of trauma related PTSD and depression among the university students in DRC. TF-CBT is therefore recommended for use in the treatment of PTSD and depression.
