Abstract
The Philippine Society was appalled with the massive disruption and threat of Covid when it was announced to have local transmission on March 8, 2020. As a response of the government, uniformed personnel was deployed in order to help in various communities. This study investigates the effects of the EMDR Integrative Group Treatment Protocol (EMDR-IGTP) on Uniformed personnel and volunteer reservists who have experienced negative impacts during the Covid-19 pandemic. There are sixty-six (66) participants of Uniformed personnel and volunteer reserves attended the EMDR Integrative Group Treatment Protocol (EMDR-IGTP) during their volunteer service during the Enhanced Community Quarantine. Using an ex-post facto research design, the effectiveness of EMDG-IGTP was explored in Reducing Distress and Promoting Well-being Amongst Uniformed Reserves During the Enhanced Community Quarantine, results shows that there was a significant difference in the subjective unit of distress from the pre-IGTP and post-IGTP. SUD’s were also decreased in the post-test, suggesting that IGTP played a huge role in lowering down the subjective unit of disturbances of the participants. One-way ANOVA test showed a significant difference in the subjective unit of disturbance of the four (4) axes. The results from the pre-test and post-test well-being assessment indicate that the IGTP resulted in significant difference, with the post-test showing a lower mean score as compared to the pre-test. Implications of the study results are also presented in this study.
