Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of a group intervention using the Flash Technique (FT), an evidence-based treatment that has proven to be effective as a short-term intervention for youth trauma after the COVID-19 pandemic. The FT group program targeted 161 6th grade elementary school students about to graduate from B Elementary School in Region C, and was conducted a total of 3 to 4 times for 15 minutes each, depending on class characteristics. To verify the effectiveness of FT, students' SUD (Subjective Unit of Disturbance) was checked four times in each session using FT, and the data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and repeated-effects ANOVA. As a result of this study, it was confirmed that SUD was reduced even when FT was used only once as a group intervention, and SUD was confirmed to decrease more rapidly when FT was used 3 to 4 times. It has been also confirmed that feeder memory, such as counting, does not reduce SUD scores, and FT must be performed at least 5 to 6 times per session to be effective. Research results show that grouping adolescents according to the type of trauma and the contents of their feeder memories and using PEF, which allows them to focus, can be effective with just one intervention.
