Ny studie: Tetris minskar flashbacks efter trauma

Bild genererad av AI

Forskare vid Uppsala universitet har visat att ett kort behandlingsprogram med Tetris kan minska påträngande minnen hos vårdpersonal efter trauman.

Ett hundratal personer inom hälso- och sjukvården deltog i studien. De fick ett digitalt program som inkluderade Tetris och mentala rotationsövningar.

Antalet flashbacks minskade från i genomsnitt tio per vecka till mindre än ett. Effekten höll i sig i minst sex månader.

– Det handlar om att konkurrera ut de påträngande bilderna utan att prata om traumat, säger Emily Holmes, professor vid Uppsala universitet.

Studien är publicerad i The Lancet Psychiatry och genomfördes tillsammans med University of Cambridge.
