Cross-Sectional Analysis of Psychological Mediators Between Occupational Trauma and PTSD in Metropolitan Firefighters
Objective: The present investigation sought to examine the interrelationships between early-life adverse experiences, dissociative symptoms, suicidal ideation, and depressive manifestations among metropolitan firefighters screened with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and to elucidate the potential mediating effects of these psychological variables on both the presence and severity of PTSD symptomatology in this high-risk occupational cohor…
Screening for PTSD in first responders
The Turkish PC-PTSD-5 [0-20] demonstrates strong psychometric properties, with high accuracy at a cutoff score of 9, and excellent diagnostic utility for screening PTSD among firefighters. Future research should explore its applicability to other first responder groups and predictive validity in longitudinal studies. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
DMN network and neurocognitive changes associated with dissociative symptoms in major depressive disorder
Future research, aiming to forecast the response to biological and psychological interventions for depression, anticipates this subtype and provides insights
Post-Traumatic stress disorder and post-traumatic growth in firefighters
This investigation identifies critical relationships between psychological adaptation and occupational safety in firefighting, revealing how PTSD symptoms and PTG distinctly influence safety behaviors through culturally mediated patterns. The significant gap between adherence to technical safety protocols versus psychological safety practices underscores the need for integrated interventions that address both domains. These findings support devel…
Why the Covid-19 pandemic is a traumatic stressor
The COVID-19 pandemic does not fit into prevailing Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) models, or diagnostic criteria, yet emerging research shows traumatic stress symptoms as a result of this ongoing global stressor. Current pathogenic event models focus on past, and largely direct, trauma exposure to certain kinds of life-threatening events. Yet, traumatic stress reactions to future, indirect trauma exposure, and non-Criterion A events exist,…
The prevalence of mental health problems in sub-Saharan adolescents
Background and purpose Most research regarding child and adolescent mental health prevention and promotion in low-and middle-income countries is undertaken in high-income countries. This systematic review set out to synthesise findings from epidemiological studies, published between 2008 and 2020, documenting the prevalence of mental health problems in adolescents from across sub-Saharan Africa. Methods A systematic search of multiple databases (…
