Mental health of Royal Canadian Mounted Police after the first year of service
Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) frequently report symptoms consistent with positive screens for one or more mental health disorders (65%), but RCMP cadets evidence a much lower prevalence (7.3%) prior to deployment. The differences in mental health between cadets and experienced RCMP implicates mental health challenges to be related to service experiences; however, less is known about how mental health changes during the first year of servic…
Perspectives sur l’accès et la qualité des services psychosociaux en cancer du sein
Contexte L’expérience de recevoir un diagnostic de cancer du sein mène à être confronté à de l’inconnu et à de l’incertitude. Dans certains cas, les patient(e)s développent des symptômes de détresse psychologique après l’annonce du diagnostic, ce qui peut avoir une influence négative durant et à la suite des traitements. Au Québec, il existe plusieurs cliniques de cancer du sein qui semblent offrir une évaluation psychologique à leurs patient(e)s…

Traumatic stress in Canadian lawyers
Lawyers exposed to trauma-related cases represent an at-risk group for PTSD. The findings highlight the powerful impacts that interpersonal relationships and self-care may have in buffering this health hazard. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
When the Lawyer Becomes Traumatized
Lawyers can be exposed to cases involving traumatic elements of crimes. Such exposure may result in symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and have adverse effects on the lawyers’ capacities to work. A scoping review was conducted to summarize original investigations of work-related PTSD among lawyers in terms of (a) trauma exposure conceptualization and operationalization, (b) symptom severity, (c) prevalence, and (d) risk factors. The…
Characteristics of Adolescents Affected by Mass Psychogenic Illness Outbreaks in Schools in Nepal
This paper presents the first systematic case-control study of correlates of mass psychogenic illness (MPI) in an adolescent school population. MPI is generally construed as a dissociative phenomenon spread by social contagion to individuals who are prone to dissociation. We sought to test if the correlates of dissociative experiences most commonly proposed in the literature could predict caseness among students affected by episodes of mass psych…
Mental Health Services for Syrian Refugees in Lebanon
We applied semi-structured and in-depth interviews to explore the perceptions and experiences of 60 practitioners/policymakers and 25 Syrian participants involved in mental health services for refugees in Lebanon. Refugees were found to view their distress as a normal shared reaction to adversity while professionals perceived it as symptomatic of mental illness. Practitioners viewed Syrian culture as an obstacle to providing care and prioritized …
Mental Disorder Symptoms among Public Safety Personnel in Canada
BACKGROUND: Canadian public safety personnel (PSP; e.g., correctional workers, dispatchers, firefighters, paramedics, police officers) are exposed to potentially traumatic events as a function of their work. Such exposures contribute to the risk of developing clinically significant symptoms related to mental disorders. The current study was designed to provide estimates of mental disorder symptom frequencies and severities for Canadian PSP. METHO…
Longitudinal analysis of quality of life across the trauma spectrum
Research needs to focus on understanding more than just global indices of quality of life when it comes to the trauma spectrum. Additional research remains necessary to fully understand these complex relationships over time. (PsycINFO Database Record
Psychometric Validation of the English and French Versions of the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5)
The purpose of this study is to assess the psychometric properties of a French version of the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5), a self-report measure of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, and to further validate the existing English version of the measure. Undergraduate students (n = 838 English, n = 262 French) completed the PCL-5 as well as other self-report symptom measures of PTSD and depression online. Bo…

La présence et la gravité des troubles de santé mentale sont-elles liées à la nature de la crise, à la dangerosité et aux services de crise offerts
Au Québec, les centres de crise ont été développés dans le contexte de la désinstitutionnalisation, ce qui a mené à une offre de services devant répondre aux besoins d’une clientèle hétérogène. À ce jour, encore peu d’études ont décrit et comparé les profils cliniques des personnes qui effectuent une demande d’aide à un centre de crise en considérant la présence ou non d’un trouble de santé mentale et la nature de celui-ci. Les dossiers de 1170 n…

Patterns and Predictors of Treatment Delay for Mental Disorders in a Nationally Representative, Active Canadian Military Sample
BACKGROUND: Although mental disorders constitute a significant public health problem in military populations, little is known about whether military members seek mental health treatment in a timely manner. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine delays in making the initial treatment contact for various mental disorders in a military population. DESIGN: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using data from the Canadian Community …

La création d’une nouvelle génération d’études épidémiologiques en santé mentale
Grâce à une subvention des Instituts de recherche en santé du Canada (IRSC), il se développe actuellement une nouvelle génération d’études en épidémiologie sociale et psychiatrique dans une zone circonscrite se situant dans le sud-ouest de Montréal où vivent 258 000 personnes. Ce programme de recherche repose sur une étude prospective longitudinale visant à identifier les déterminants de la santé mentale de la population, et sur quatre études spé…
Twelve Month Use of Mental Health Services in a Nationally Representative, Active Military Sample
BACKGROUND: Mental disorders constitute a significant public health problem in active military populations. However, very little is known about patterns of mental health service use in these populations.

Additional objectives included identification of barriers to service use. DESIGN: A cross-se…
Prévalence du trouble de stress post-traumatique chez des chauffeurs d’autobus
Plusieurs rapports indiquent que les employés du transport en commun constituent un groupe de travailleurs risquant de vivre des événements traumatiques. Cependant, il n'y a que peu de données scientifiques sur l'impact de tels événements dans cette population. Lors d'une enquête épidémiologique menée auprès des chauffeurs d'autobus de la STCUM, un peu plus du tiers des chauffeurs rapportent un événement traumatique au travail. De ces événements,…
Expositions récurrentes aux événements traumatiques
Deux grandes hypothèses opposées ont été formulées quant à l'impact d'un événement traumatique sur l'adversité future: l'inoculation et la vulnérabilité croissante. Un examen des travaux supportant ces hypothèses indique qu'elles ne sont pas aussi antagonistes qu'elles en ont l'air. Il apparaît possible de les intégrer en une théorie unique dans la mesure où les circonstances favorisant l'une ou l'autre
La tempête de verglas
Depuis plusieurs années, des études ont démontré que les événements stressants pendant la grossesse affectent le niveau de développement neurologique, de même que le fonctionnement cognitif et psychologique ultérieurs de l'enfant. Par exemple, Mednick (1997) a examiné l'impact d'un important séisme survenu en Chine sur le développement intellectuel et psychologique d'enfants à naître. Vingt-trois ans plus tard, des différences significatives dans…
Notre Colette
« Notre » Colette... Des regards croisés se posent dans ces pages sur une œuvre décidément inclassable. Si la vie de l’écrivain – particulièrement dans son rapport à l’histoire – pique la curiosité au moins autant que ses livres, ceux-ci fournissent matière à de nouvelles réflexions : ils nous concernent, ici et maintenant, parce qu’ils évoquent une jouissance et des amours sans frontières, parce qu’ils chantent le culte de l’instant dilaté et ma…
Critical Incident Exposure and Sleep Quality in Police Officers
OBJECTIVE: Police officers face many stressors that may negatively impact sleep quality. This study compares subjective sleep quality in police officers with that in control subjects not involved in police or emergency services. We examined the effects of critical incident exposure (trauma exposure) and routine (nontraumatic) work environment stressors on sleep quality after controlling for the effects of work shift schedule. METHODS: Subjective …
The Peritraumatic Distress Inventory
OBJECTIVE: Meeting criterion A2 for the diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in DSM-IV requires that an individual have high levels of distress during or after the traumatic event. Because of the paucity of valid and reliable instruments for assessing such responses, the authors developed a 13-item self-report measure, the Peritraumatic Distress Inventory, to obtain a quantitative measure of the level of distress experienced during a…

Children’s Enduring PTSD Symptoms are Related to Their Family’s Adaptability and Cohesion
L'Usage D'Alcool et de Drogues Chez un Groupe de Patients Psychotiques
La consommation d'alcool et de drogues de 162 patients présentant une symptomatologie psychotique et n'ayant pas de diagnostic primaire d'abus ou de dépendance à une substance psycho-active, fut mesurée à l'aide d'une entrevue structurée. Dans ce groupe, la consommation régulière au cours de la vie atteignait 54,3% (intervalle de confiance, IC, 95%; 46,3% à 62,3%), tandis que 29,0% (1C 95% : 21,7% à 36,3%) se seraient mérités un diagnostic second…
Social Desirability in the Assessment of Trauma
Since admitting distress is often considered undesirable, the role of social desirability as a moderator variable in the assessment of traumatic events scores, on the PTSD Interview, and diagnosis was investigated. A sample of 342 city bus drivers were grouped by their lifetime exposure to trauma (nonexposed, stressful but nontraumatic event, traumatic event). Analyses replicate and extend findings from the literature on life events: social desir…
Lifetime Exposure to Traumatic Events among a Sample of City Bus Drivers
Lifetime exposure to traumatic events was assessed retrospectively among a representative sample of city bus drivers (228 men and 54 women) from Montréal, Canada. Among them, 68.1% reported at least one exposure to a traumatic event of any type. Among the 68% exposed. 70.4% reported multiple traumatic exposures (M = 2.6, SD = 1.67), with ratings ranging from 0 to 12. This report underlines the fact that the prevalence of traumatic events is not y…
