Abstract EN
After a traumatic experience such as Tsunami, individuals differ in their rate and extent of recovery.
Many Indonesian developed symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which include re-experiencing the trauma memory, avoidance of thoughts and feelings associated with the trauma, and hyperarousal symptoms.
The Tsunami causes symptoms of PTSD in Indonesian students who lived in Malaysia.
The objectives of the present study were to determine the prevalence of PTSD among Indonesian students after five year who are studying in Malaysia and to determine the effectiveness of EMDR as a program in reducing PTSD symptoms among these students.
The participants of this study were 40 Indonesian students (20 male and 20 female).
The Impact of the Events Scale (IES-R) was used.
Then .EMDR was used in students who diagnosed with PTSD, and the results suggested that EMDR was effective in reducing PTSD
