Managing Post-Traumatic Stress in High School Students After School Fire Incidents: Intervention Framework
Abstract
School fire incidents represent traumatic events that significantly impact high school students' psychological well-being, often resulting in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This study presents a comprehensive intervention framework for managing post-traumatic stress in high school students following school fire incidents. Through systematic analysis of secondary data and online resources, this research examines evidence-based therapeutic approaches and recovery strategies for adolescent populations. The research identifies a multi-phase intervention model encompassing immediate crisis response (0-72 hours), short-term stabilization (1 week-3 months), and long-term recovery phases (3+ months). Key findings indicate that trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy demonstrates 68-75% efficacy rates, while EMDR shows particular effectiveness for intrusive symptoms. Group therapy and family-based interventions significantly enhance treatment outcomes. The study recommends implementing school-based trauma management protocols and establishing community partnerships. This framework provides practical guidelines for educational institutions, mental health practitioners, and policymakers supporting fire-affected student populations.
