There was no call for immediate implementation of “Tetris” in clinical practice: Response to the commentary by Halvorsen et al. (2024)
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: We thank Halvorsen and colleagues for their commentary [ 1 ] on the Swiss TrAumatic biRth Trial (START) [ 2 ], a multicenter, double-blind, randomized controlled trial (RCT) with an active control group. START tested the efficacy of a single-session intervention, carried out within six hours following an unplanned cesarean section, to prevent maternal symptoms of childbirth-related posttraumatic stress disorder (CB-PTSD). It was a next step in our research program, in which a previous proof-of-principle RCT showed that women receiving this intervention had fewer intrusive childbirth-related memories during the first postpartum week than those receiving routine care [ 3 ]. At the end of our publication [ 2 ], we concluded that the next step would be an implementation study. However, in stark contrast to what Halvorsen et al. claim, this was not a call for immediate implementation of the intervention in clinical practice. Halvorsen et al.’s title claim is thus incorrect and misleading.
