  • Do initial mental health, somatic, and social problems predict postdisaster lack of social support in the medium term? A latent profile analysis

    Pien van de Ven, Rolf J Kleber et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2021

    Affected adults who belong to the subclinical to severe clinical classes in the first weeks suffered more often from a lack of social support 1.5 years postevent than did others. Mental health policies should target the risk of lack of social support among these groups. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)

  • Mental and physical health of international humanitarian aid workers on short-term assignments

    Open AccessKenneth De Jong, E Martinmäki et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2021Citada por: 1Referências: 52

    Research findings show humanitarian work impacts one's health. We conducted a prospective observational study among 618 international humanitarian aid workers (iHAWs)' recruited from 76 countries to investigate health changes and ill-health risk factors after mostly short-term (<1 year) medical emergency assignments. The aid workers were assigned to 27 countries. Data collected between 2017 and 2020. We also compared a gold-standard clinical inte…

  • Post-Migration Stressors and Their Association With Symptom Reduction and Non-Completion During Treatment for Traumatic Grief in Refugees

    Open AccessA A A Manik J Djelantik, Annemiek de Heus et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2020

    Treatment for resettled refugees for traumatic grief coincides with alleviations in both PCBD and PTSD symptomatology. Specific post-migration stressors were associated with reduced treatment effects and increased non-completion. This is a first step towards well-informed improvements of mental health interventions for resettled refugees

  • Prevalence of Potentially Traumatic Events, Other Life Events and Subsequent Reactions Indicative for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in the Netherlands

    Open AccessJeroen Knipscheer, Jeroen W Knipscheer et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2020

    The 12-month and lifetime prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in different country populations has been assessed while using clinical interviews. Because this methodology is relatively time-consuming and resource-intensive, disaster health researchers adopted instruments, like the Trauma Screening Questionnaire (TSQ). This study (1) used the TSQ to estimate the lifetime prevalence of potentially traumatic events and other life even…

  • The moderating role of individual resilience in refugee and Dutch adolescents after trauma

    Marieke Sleijpen, Niels Van Der Aa et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2019

    Findings suggest that not all groups benefit similarly from individual-level resilience. Consequently, adolescents, who differ with regard to the risks to which they are exposed, may need different forms of support. This study points to the interplay of factors that contributes to demonstration of individual resilience. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved)

  • Loss of loved ones or home due to a disaster

    Open AccessGeert E Smid, Annelieke N Drogendijk et al.ARTICLETranscultural Psychiatry2018Citada por: 2Referências: 31

    Exposure to mass trauma may bring about increased sensitivity to new or ongoing stressors. It is unclear whether sensitivity to stress associated with ethnic minority/immigrant status may be affected by severe exposure to mass trauma. We examined whether the loss of loved ones or home due to a disaster is associated with more persistent disaster-related distress in ethnic minorities compared with Dutch natives in the Netherlands. In residents aff…

  • Lives on hold

    Open AccessMarieke Sleijpen, Trudy Mooren et al.ARTICLEChildhood2017Citada por: 40Referências: 44

    Although the literature on positive adjustment following traumatic events is growing, only a few studies have examined this phenomenon in young refugees. Using the social-ecological framework, the aim of this study was to identify factors and processes that according to young refugees promote their resilience. A total of 16 treatment-seeking refugees aged 13-21 years, living in the Netherlands, were interviewed. Data analysis revealed four resili…

  • Relational Patterns Between Caregivers With PTSD and Their Nonexposed Children

    Open AccessElisa van Ee, Rolf J Kleber et al.ARTICLETrauma Violence & Abuse2016

    The question as to whether or not children can be affected by the traumatization of their parents has been the topic of a long-standing debate. This article provides a critical review of 72 research studies on traumatized parents with symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the parent–child interaction, and the impact on their nonexposed child (0–18 years). The evidence suggests that traumatization can cause parenting limitations, and t…

  • Between power and powerlessness

    Marieke Sleijpen, Hennie R Boeije et al.ARTICLEEthnicity and Health2016

    OBJECTIVE: This article reviews available qualitative studies that report young refugees' ways of dealing with adversity to address their sources of resilience. DESIGN: We searched five electronic databases. Twenty-six empirical studies were included in the review. A meta-ethnography approach was used to synthesize these qualitative studies. RESULTS: Six sources of resilience emerged: (1) social support, (2) acculturation strategies, (3) educatio…

  • The Effectiveness of Art Therapy in the Treatment of Traumatized Adults

    Open AccessKarin Alice Schouten, Gerrit J de Niet et al.ARTICLETrauma Violence & Abuse2015

    Art therapy has often been applied in the treatment of traumatized adults, and good results in clinical practice have been reported. However, although art therapy experts underline these benefits, the effectiveness of art therapy in trauma treatment has not been established by systematic review. The aim of this systematic review is to identify and evaluate empirical evidence of the effectiveness of art therapy for trauma treatment. As a result of…

  • The effect of the postdisaster context on the assessment of individual mental health scores

    Tim R Wind, P C Joshi et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Orthopsychiatry2014

    Many scholars question the immense variation in rates of mental health outcomes across disaster studies. This study explains this variation by putting forward 2 methodological problems that are inherent to the effect of a disaster context on mental health screening scores. The Hopkins Symptom Checklist-25 was administered in a flood-affected group (n = 318) and a nonaffected group (n = 304) in Uttar Pradesh, India. The affected group showed much …

  • War trauma lingers on

    Open AccessElisa van Ee, Rolf J Kleber et al.ARTICLEInfant Mental Health Journal2012Citada por: 16Referências: 45

    Maternal traumatization has been proposed as a risk factor for child development, but the mechanisms involved are poorly understood. This study analyzed the interrelations among maternal posttraumatic stress symptoms, parent–child interaction (emotional availability), and infants' psychosocial functioning and development among 49 asylum‐seeker and refugee mothers and their children (18–42 months). Measures included assessment of mothers' trauma a…

  • Late-onset posttraumatic stress disorder following a disaster

    Geert E Smid, Peter G Van Der Velden et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2011

    In disaster survivors, the occurrence of mental health problems beyond the immediate aftermath of the disaster has repeatedly been reported. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the course of symptoms and mental health services (MHS) utilization in late-onset posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) four years following a disaster and to examine whether late-onset PTSD can be explained within a longitudinal framework of PTSD. Residents affect…

  • Confrontations with aggression and mental health problems in police officers

    Peter G Van Der Velden, Rolf J Kleber et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2010

    Background\nThe extent to which the frequency of facing aggression incidents is associated with mental health problems among police officers when organizational stressors, life-events, and previous mental health problems are taken into account is unclear.\n\nAim\nTo elucidate this data from a longitudinal study of police officers was analyzed (N = 473). Mental health problems (MHPs) are here defined as severe anxiety, depression, hostility, burno…

  • Use of the Cultural Formulation with Refugees

    Open AccessHans Rohlof, Jeroen W Knipscheer et al.ARTICLETranscultural Psychiatry2009Citada por: 6Referências: 16

    This article discusses the experiences of mental health professionals who applied the Cultural Formulation (CF) of the DSM-IV for assessment of psychopathology and treatment needs of refugees in the Netherlands. The CF approach proved to be a useful tool in the assessment and diagnostic phase of clinical treatment. However, patients reported problems with defining their own culture and providing explanations of illness and therapists had difficul…

  • Conflict in the Indian Kashmir Valley II

    Open AccessKenneth De Jong, Saskia van de Kam et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2008

    The ongoing conflict exacts a huge toll on the communities' mental well-being. We found high levels of psychological distress that impacts on daily life and places a burden on the health system. Ongoing feelings of personal vulnerability (not feeling safe) was associated with high levels of psychological distress. Community mental health programmes should be considered as a way reduce the pressure on the health system and improve socio-economic f…

  • Conflict in the Indian Kashmir Valley I

    Open AccessKenneth De Jong, Nathan Ford et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2008

    The civilian population in Kashmir is exposed to high levels of violence, as demonstrated by the high frequency of deliberate events as detention, hostage, and torture. The reported violence may result in substantial health, including mental health problems. Males reported significantly more confrontations with almost all violent events; this can be explained by higher participation in outdoor activities

  • Acculturation and Mental Health Among Ghanaians in the Netherlands

    Open AccessJeroen W Knipscheer, Rolf J KleberARTICLEInternational Journal of Social…2007

    Background: The current literature on the relationship between cultural adaptation and mental health is premature to offer a comprehensive explanation about the ways acculturation exerts either positive or adverse effects on the mental health of migrants. Aim: This study is an empirical approach towards understanding the magnitude of the relationship between consequences of cultural adaptation and psychological distress. Methods: Two samples of G…

  • The trauma of ongoing conflict and displacement in Chechnya

    Open AccessKenneth De Jong, Saskia van der Kam et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2007

    The study demonstrates that the health needs of internally displaced in both locations are similarly high and equally unaddressed. The high levels of past confrontation with violence and ongoing exposure in both locations is likely to contribute to a further deterioration of the health status of internally displaced. As of March 2007, concerns remain about how the return process is being managed by the authorities

  • Emergency Conflict-related Psychosocial Interventions in Sierra Leone and Uganda

    Open AccessKenneth De Jong, Kaz De Jong et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2007Citada por: 5Referências: 18

    Médecins Sans Frontières has been involved in emergency mental health or psychosocial programmes since 1990. In this article the intervention model developed for emergency settings is shared. Psychosocial programmes distinguish two elements. The `psycho'-component facilitates the reconnection of the affected individual to his environment. The `socio'-element aims to create an environment that facilitates the individual to re-integrate. The nature…
