The main aim of the present process-outcome study is to evaluate the feasibility and the effects of an EMDR-IGTP-OTS group intervention on a sample of people with cancer, by using a process-outcome study design, with repeated measures.
The diagnosis of cancer represents a potentially life-threatening event that can be considered a unique traumatic stressor. A cancer diagnosis can disrupt a person's life, affecting emotions, cognition, and physical pain impacting the individual sense of identity. Findings from the literature suggest that EMDR can be a valid treatment in the processing of cancer-related traumatic events. With this proposal, the investigators aim to evaluate the feasibility and the effects of a combined EMDR Integrative Group Treatment Protocol and an optional EMDR individual protocol for people with cancer.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| EMDR Treatment Group | Experimental | Participants receive an integrated EMDR intervention consisting of the EMDR Integrative Group Protocol (IGTP-OTS) followed by additional individual EMDR sessions when needed. The treatment focuses on processing traumatic memories related to personal experiences cancer-related. |

| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EMDR-IGTP-OTS | Behavioral | The intervention follows the EMDR 8-phase protocol as indicated by Jarero et al. (2018). The group sessions use the IGTP-OTS (Integrative Group Treatment Protocol for Ongoing Traumatic Stress) to provide early stabilization. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) | Impact of Event Scale-Revised range: The scale is composed by 22 items, each scored 0-4 (Min Score: 0; Max Score: 88). A higher score indicates a higher intensity of post-traumatic stress symptoms | Baseline (T1) and Post-intervention (T2, approximately 1 month), Follow-up (T3, approximately 3 month) |
