Abstract The Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic represents one of the most catastrophic events of recent times. Due to the hospitals' emergency situation, the population of healthcare workers was the most affected. Healthcare workers who were exposed to COVID-19 patients are most likely to develop psychological distress and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The present study aimed at investigating PTSD in a sample of Italian healthcare workers during this outbreak and to evaluate the effectiveness of the Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy with this population.AimThe Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic represents one of the most catastrophic events of recent times.

AbstractList AimThe Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic represents one of the most catastrophic events of recent times.
