Two days, role play, adult interactive capacity building sessions of healthcare workers on PTSD screening and management. Pre/posttest and change in practice in screening will be used for evaluation
"Intervention~1\. Capacity Building of Healthcare workers on PTSD Management For training, the three purposefully selected health facilities selected for the study were written on small pieces of paper. The papers were twisted and thrown on a table. Then, a child was asked to pick up any paper. The one picked was the intervention health facility (Buea Regional Hospital). Healthcare workers at the BRH who provide care to RTI survivors at risk of PTSD 1 month after RTI from our health units of interest in the BRH, will be selected for training (mostly unit heads and front-line staff in trauma/injury will be trained) in two role-play, adult training, interactive sessions on the screening of PTSD using the DSM-5 tool and on timely management of RTI patients with regard to PTSD, linkage to care to psychotherapists, and referrals. Pre/post knowledge evaluation on the use of the DSM-5 tool and management of PTSD will be done, and results compared."
