Publisher description
This unique ring-bound book provides a reproduction of the Veterans Administration (VA) Independent Study Course on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Implications for Primary Care, released in March 2002 as part of the Veterans Health Initiative. "Many veterans with PTSD remain unrecognized and thus may not be receiving the treatment and support they need for this military-related condition. Primary care staff can play a key role in identifying these patients and getting them the help they need. Thus, it is the hope that this endeavor will increase the ability of staff to diagnose, refer to treatment, and provide support and education, as well as have a better understanding and more compassionate appreciation for the needs of veterans who are experiencing this life altering condition. Upon completion of this self-study program, participants should be able to: integrate PTSD screening into veterans' assessments; identify the manifestations of PTSD in veterans; describe the current treatment for PTSD; refer veterans with PTSD to appropriate resources; recognize the need to prepare veterans with PTSD for stressful medical procedures; support and encourage identification of veterans with PTSD; and appreciate veterans who have experienced situations that put them at risk for PTSD. As a result of this program, clinicians will have a broader base of knowledge with which to provide effective care to patients with PTSD and a better understanding of patients who experience this condition. This independent study is designed for VA Primary Care clinicians
