Development and validation of a brief Aarhus Prolonged Grief Disorder Scale
The Aarhus Prolonged Grief Disorder Scale (A-PGDs) is a self-report measure of prolonged grief disorder (PGD) as defined in the International Classification of Diseases, 11th revision (ICD-11) and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition, Text revision (DSM-5-TR). To enhance its clinical utility, we developed a brief version in a bereaved community sample (n = 590) and tested its psychometric properties in a subclini…
A nationally representative survey of ICD‐11 PTSD among Danish adolescents and young adults aged 15–29
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is recognized as a debilitating psychiatric disorder affecting populations worldwide. This has inspired many countries to estimate the national prevalence rates of PTSD in Europe and beyond. At present, there are no published representative studies that have assessed the occurrence of trauma exposure and PTSD in Denmark using a valid measurement based on ICD‐11 criteria. A national sample of the general popula…
Social support utilization’s effect on post-traumatic stress symptoms
To our knowledge, this is the first study investigating the relationship between utilization of multiple, concurrent social support types and PTSS. This study suggests that to understand the effects of social support among ambulance personnel, it is necessary to assess the utilization of multiple concurrent support types, contributing factors to social support use, and different patterns of social support utilization that constitutes professional…
The co-occurrence of potentially traumatic events (PTEs) and their associations with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Indian and Malaysian adolescents
BACKGROUND: Although it is well-established that people can experience multiple traumatic events, there are few studies examining the co-occurrence of such experiences in non-Western nations. The current study sought to examine the occurrence of multiple potentially traumatic experiences (PTEs) and their associations with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among adolescents from two Asian nations. METHODS: Latent class analysis (LCA) was employ…
Trauma exposure and diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Fifth Edition) posttraumatic stress disorder among Danish adults
Exposure to psychologically threatening events is an important factor in explaining probable PTSD risk and severity although not independently leading to a significant increase in probable PTSD rates. Probable rates of DSM-5 PTSD are higher than Danish official estimates in a random sample of the Danish adult population (6.8%-6.9% compared to 1%). The generalizability of study findings is limited by nonrepresentativity, the use of self-report mea…
Parent-reported posttraumatic stress reactions in children and adolescents
Russia's war escalation in Ukraine resulted in an increased estimated prevalence of war-related PTSD in children of various ages. Urgent efforts to increase the capacity of national pediatric mental health services are critically needed to mitigate these challenges in an environment of limited financial and human resources.

Operationalization, implications and correlates of the cultural deviance criterion for ICD-11 and DSM-5 prolonged grief disorder
Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) is included in ICD-11 and DSM-5-TR and includes a requirement of cultural deviance. This study examined endorsement rates and factors associated with endorsement of this criterion among Danish bereaved spouses (n = 425) and their adult children (n = 159) four years post-loss. In total, 7.5% (n = 44) participants endorsed this criterion. Both including and excluding the criterion, the prevalence rates for probable DS…
Can Rehabilitation in Nature Improve Self-Perceived Interpersonal Problems? A Matched-Control Study
Self-perceived interpersonal problems are of central concern for researchers and individuals; they are at the basis of psychopathology and cause for subjective distress. In this study, we examine whether a group-based rehabilitation program in nature may reduce self-perceived interpersonal problems in a heterogeneous group of men declining participation in traditional rehabilitation offers. The intervention consisted of weekly meetings in nature,…
Covariates of Burnout and Secondary Traumatisation in Professionals Working with Child Survivors of Trauma
It has been demonstrated that working with trauma-exposed children increases the risk for developing secondary traumatisation (ST) and burnout (BO). High correlations between ST and BO have been reported, suggesting an empirical overlap between the constructs. The purpose of the present review was to synthesise research investigating covariates of BO and ST to explore whether this overlap extends to covariates. Seven research databases were searc…
