Development of a military mental health training program aiming to promote mental health and operational readiness in the Danish armed forces
Mental health and operational readiness are essential to soldiers’ ability to perform under pressure. Yet within military systems, the mental domain has often been overlooked or insufficiently integrated into formal training structures. Although international programs have aimed to enhance mental health literacy and resilience among service members, evidence regarding their applicability across national contexts remains limited. This is the first…
Profiles of parental reflective functioning and mind‐mindedness in first‐time parents of 4‐month‐old infants
Profiles of parental reflective functioning (PRF) may offer valuable insights into individual differences in PRF. Previous studies have identified PRF profiles; however, further validation is needed. This study aimed to investigate the convergent validity of the identified PRF profiles by examining their association with a related measure of parental mentalization: representational mind‐mindedness. Participants were 1168 first‐time mothers and 49…
Associations of war exposures, post-migration living difficulties and social support with (complex) PTSD
PMLDs are important risk factors for post-trauma psychopathology in war refugees. Social support mitigates the negative association between PMLDs for PTSD, while low social support is an independent risk factor for CPTSD. Attention should be paid to refugees' daily life challenges and social support networks
Identifying Profiles of Parental Reflective Functioning in First-Time Parents and Associations with Parental Attachment and Infant Socioemotional Adjustment
Objective. Parental reflective functioning (PRF) consists of three dimensions using the Parental Reflective Functioning Questionnaire (PRFQ): Pre-Mentalizing Modes, Certainty about Mental States, and Interest and Curiosity. Different types of mentalization, such as genuine mentalization, hypomentalization, and hypermentalization, have been hypothesized yet rarely empirically examined. This study aims to identify PRF profiles using latent profile …
Coping and grief symptoms after parental loss in adolescence - a nationwide follow-up study
Knowledge about effective coping strategies is important to support bereaved adolescents who have lost a parent. We used data on 104 bereaved adolescents (13-17 years) from the FALCON nationwide questionnaire study of parentally bereaved families. We examined associations between adolescents' control-oriented and escape-oriented coping strategies (KidCOPE scale) approximately two months after loss and grief symptoms (PG-13 scale) at six months fo…
The prenatal caregiving expectations questionnaire‐revised version
An efficient, multidimensional instrument is needed to screen non‐optimal prenatal parental representations predictive of postnatal parenting behavior and child attachment. The present work aimed to revise and validate the Prenatal Caregiving Expectations Questionnaire—Revised (PCEQ‐R). Survey data from two independent samples of pregnant, primarily Danish, women ( N = 300/322) were collected to 1) test the factor structure and select items for a…
Measuring Social Support among Soldiers with the Experienced Post-Deployment Social Support Scale (EPSSS)
Perceived social support following deployment is a known buffer against post-deployment adverse mental health outcomes. Given contextual sensitivity of social support measures, scales that address specific social support needs of soldiers in the first months after home coming should be developed and validated. In a sample of 553 soldiers deployed to Afghanistan at two different time points (2009 and 2013, respectively), we selected items for and …
Replicability and Generalizability of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Networks
The growing literature conceptualizing mental disorders like posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as networks of interacting symptoms faces three key challenges. Prior studies predominantly used (a) small samples with low power for precise estimation, (b) nonclinical samples, and (c) single samples. This renders network structures in clinical data, and the extent to which networks replicate across data sets, unknown. To overcome these limitations…
