Initial Psychometric Evaluation of the Moral Injury Questionnaire—Military Version
UNLABELLED: Moral injury is an emerging construct related to negative consequences associated with war-zone stressors that transgress military veterans' deeply held values/beliefs. Given the newness of the construct, there is a need for instrumentation that might assess morally injurious experiences (MIEs) in this population. Drawing on a community sample of 131 Iraq and/or Afghanistan Veterans and clinical sample of 82 returning Veterans, we con…
Exposure to Violence, Posttraumatic Stress, and Burnout Among Teachers in El Salvador
Community violence has reached concerning proportions in El Salvador, possibly affecting all sectors of society. To date, little attention has focused on the effects of violence exposure on educators in Central American countries. This study examined the relationships between lifetime community violence exposure, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptomatology, and burnout in 2 independent samples of elementary and high school teachers in El …
Spirituality, Forgiveness, and Quality of Life
Combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can be a debilitating condition that has been linked with problems with forgiveness and impaired quality of life (QOL) in physical, psychological, social, and environmental domains. However, an amassing base of research studies also suggests that spirituality can be a vital resource for veterans exposed to severe traumas. Drawing on multidimensional assessments of spirituality and QOL, this stud…

Unprecedented gang violence in El Salvador places children and their families at high risk for experiencing multiple traumas. The influence of lifetime exposure to community violence on parenting practices and parent–child relationships among Salvadoran parents was examined using a mixed-methods approach. Thirty-six parents and primary caregivers of elementary school children living in urban areas of El Salvador participated in 4 focus groups and…
Morally injurious experiences and meaning in Salvadorian teachers exposed to violence
Helping professionals working to alleviate the effects of violence and injustice can confront morally injurious experiences (MIE) that violate deeply held moral values/beliefs, placing them at risk for burnout and trauma-related problems (e.g., posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD]). Focusing on 257 teachers from educational departments throughout El Salvador, we incorporated structural equation modeling (SEM) to examine (1) whether exposure to MI…
An exploration of the viability and usefulness of the construct of moral injury in war veterans.

Community violence exposure, adverse childhood experiences, and posttraumatic distress among urban development workers
Social support, organisational support, and religious support in relation to burnout in expatriate humanitarian aid workers
Expatriate humanitarian aid workers are embedded in global crises, exposing them to traumatic and occupational stress and putting them at risk for job burnout. Aid workers (N = 111) from an international faith-based agency completed an interview assessing perceived social support, support from their organisation, support from God, and job burnout. It was hypothesised that the three types of support would be significantly related to each of the th…
Exposure to Violence, Support Needs, Adjustment, and Motivators Among Guatemalan Humanitarian Aid Workers
Indigenous aid workers carry out the majority of humanitarian aid work, yet there is little empirical information available on their support needs in different contexts. Focus groups ( N = 26: Study 1) and a survey ( N = 137; Study 2) were conducted with Guatemalan aid workers to explore their exposure to violence, posttraumatic stress symptoms, burnout, support needs, and motivators. Participants reported experiencing an average of 13 events of …

Twenty undergraduate students from a Christian college participated in focus groups discussing the question, “How did your experiences on your trip(s) influence your view of your home culture?” The discussion transcripts were coded, and analyzed according to (a) frequency, the number …
Teachers' Psychological Reactions 7 Weeks After the 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing
This study assessed teachers' reactions to the Oklahoma City bombing. Peritraumatic reactions, the interaction of media exposure with stress from media coverage, feelings toward the perpetrators, and worry about safety predicted posttraumatic stress. Twenty percent reported difficulty handling demands; 5% sought counseling. Outreach efforts should assess and assist teachers

This study is among the first to investigate these relationships, using a sample of 78 battered women drawn from both shelter …
