This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the unified trans-diagnostic treatment on emotion regulation, anxiety sensitivity, and sleep quality in people with post-traumatic stress disorder. The research method was semi-experimental with pre-test, post-test, and control group with 2-month and 4-month follow-up periods. The statistical population included all patients referred to psychological counseling centers in Kermanshah in the years 1399-1400 with post-traumatic stress disorder, from which 40 people were selected in an accessible and purposeful manner and randomly assigned to experimental (n=20) and control (n=20) groups. In order to collect data from the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) by Gross and john (2003), Anxiety Sensitivity Inventory-3 (ASI-3) by Taylor & cox (1998), and Pitesbourg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) buysee et al (1989) were used. Data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance. The results of the analysis showed that unified trans-diagnostic treatment led to a significant improvement in anxiety sensitivity, sleep quality, and emotion regulation in people suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (P<0/01). The examination of the follow-up periods showed that there was no significant difference between the follow-up and post-test periods (P>0/01). Therefore, this shows the persistence of the treatment effect over time. From the above findings, it can be concluded that unified transdiagnostic treatment can be used as an effective approach to modify and improve the psychological problems of people with post-traumatic stress disorder.
