The interventions development and its translation from laboratory to clinical settings ('bench to bedside’) is considered with a critical review of the evidence from experimental and clinical studies. Recommendations are provided for future research.<br><br>The second chapter of this thesis outlines a Large Scale Research Project which aimed to examine the feasibility and acceptability of this brief imagery-competing (visuospatial) intervention with parents experiencing intrusive memories following their child's discharge from intensive care. This study used a single-arm, mixed-methods design. Data was collected remotely through self-report measures at multiple timepoints and semi-structured interviews. The results and implications of these are discussed with recommendations for future research.<br><br><i>Thesis embargoed until 31 December 2026.</i> 2026-10-01T16:38:07Z Text Thesis 10.17034/32639664.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/thesis/A_brief_imagery_competing_intervention_to_reduce_intrusive_trauma_memories_from_bench_to_bedside_and_parents_of_children_admitted_to_intensive_care/32639664 All Rights Reserved Open Access after 2026-12-31
