Declarations
:
: Given the time-sensitive nature of Acute Stress Disorder (ASD)—with symptom onset and resolution typically occurring within the first-month post-trauma—it was not feasible to wait for formal ethical approval before initiating this study. Therefore, we collected data after obtaining electronic informed consent from all participants, which aligned with ethical principles for research in emergency contexts. We obtained ethical approval for a separate quasi-experimental study focusing on psychosocial interventions [ ]. However, this particular case series emerged as an acute observational response to immediate needs in the field, and prior ethical approval specific to this dataset was not obtained due to time constraints and the emergency nature of the situation. Informed consent was obtained from all participants via an online survey form, and every effort was made to adhere to ethical principles throughout the data collection process.
: Written informed consent was obtained from all participants for the publication of this case series. A copy of the consent form is available for review by the Editor-in-Chief of this journal upon request.
