This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of TF-CBT in reducing post-traumatic
stress symptoms and enhancing attention bias and response inhibition in children
aged 7 to 13. It was a randomized controlled semi-experimental study that included a
pretest, a posttest with the control group, and a 3-month follow-up. The selection of 34
participants was based on predetermined criteria, and they were randomly assigned to
either the intervention or control group following their initial evaluation. The intervention
group received 16 treatment sessions, and the participants were reevaluated immediately
and three months after completing the intervention. The findings indicate that the TFCBT
intervention significantly reduces posttraumatic stress symptoms (p<0.05) and enhances
attention bias and response inhibition, with these results being sustained for three
months after the treatment. IRCT Id: IRCT20190701044063N1
