- Abstract: This study examined the effectiveness of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) in reducing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among Nigerian journalists reporting violence in Nigeria. The study utilised a quasi-experimental design with the between-within-subject model. The sample size was 580 Nigerian journalists reporting three selected violent activities-banditry, farmers/herders conflict and separatist agitation. The analysis showed that prior to the intervention, all the journalists reported high mean scores on PTSD symptoms. However, the post-intervention analysis revealed a significant reduction in PTSD symptoms of journalists in the CBT group, but those in the non-CBT group did not significantly improve. A follow-up evaluation after 12 months revealed a steady decline in the PTSD symptoms of journalists in the CBT group. Still, those in the non-CBT group did not record a significant reduction. No significant interacting effect of gender was detected. However, there was a significant interactive effect of perceived organizational support on the treatment condition, p = 0.001, ηp2 = 0.052. We highlighted the implications of these results on control master theory and journalism practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
