At the authors request, the Editor and Publisher of Psychology Research and Behavior Management wish to retract the published article. Following publication, the authors determined that the reported findings were no longer reliable.
Specifically, the work stress and work risk scale designed and used by the authors during the study was not accurate and led to inconsistencies in the participants reporting. The authors also found the low number of participants recruited to the study led to discrepancies in the statistical differences reported for anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress symptoms and sleep before psychotherapy. In addition, the authors also failed to take aspects of the participants past medical histories into account which led to further inconsistencies in the reporting of the results and subsequent findings.
The authors requested to retract the article and the Editor agreed with this decision. The authors wish to apologies for any inconveniences caused.
We have been informed in our decision-making by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retractions.
The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as “Retracted”.
