An Open Label Pilot Study of a Brief Psychosocial Intervention for Disaster and Trauma Survivors
This study provides preliminary evidence that the delivery of the SOLAR program after disaster by trained, frontline workers with little or no mental health experience is feasible, acceptable, safe, and beneficial in reducing psychological symptoms and impairment among disaster survivors. Randomized controlled trials of the SOLAR program are required to advance evidence of its efficacy
The effect of post-traumatic stress disorder on refugees' parenting and their children's mental health
BACKGROUND: Children and adolescents, who account for most of the world's refugees, have an increased prevalence of psychological disorders. The mental health of refugee children is often associated with the severity of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in their caregivers. Despite the potential for refugee caregivers' PTSD to affect child mental health, little evidence exists concerning the underlying mechanisms of this association. This stu…
A prospective study of rapid breathing and the development of posttraumatic panic disorder
This study tested the theory that rapid breathing at the time of a traumatic event leads to development of panic disorder (PD). Traumatically injured patients (n=1,061) from 4 major trauma hospitals had their respiratory rates (RR) assessed at the scene of traumatic injury, subsequently assessed for lifetime PD, and reassessed 3 months later for PD (n=843). At follow-up, 59 (7%) patients met criteria for new-onset PD. Patients with elevated RR (>…
Exploration of Delayed-Onset Posttraumatic Stress Disorder After Severe Injury
Objective The first aim of this work was to conduct a rigorous longitudinal study to identify rates of delayed-onset posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in a sample of patients with severe injury. The second aim was to determine what variables differentiated delayed-onset PTSD from chronic PTSD. Methods Randomly selected patients with injury who were admitted to four hospitals around Australia were recruited to the study (N = 834) and assessed i…
A multi-level framework to guide mental health response following a natural disaster
Natural disasters can cause significant distress, grief, loss and hardship, and mental health is a key public health issue that needs to be addressed as part of a wider psychosocial response to assist affected communities. Most people who live through a natural disaster, including bereaved individuals, will not require the attention of specialist mental health professionals. In addition, because many people will cope or ‘bounce back’ on their own…
Lifetime Prevalence of Gender-Based Violence in Women and the Relationship With Mental Disorders and Psychosocial Function
CONTEXT: Intimate partner physical violence, rape, sexual assault, and stalking are pervasive and co-occurring forms of gender-based violence (GBV). An association between these forms of abuse and lifetime mental disorder and psychosocial disability among women needs to be examined. OBJECTIVES: To assess the association of GBV and mental disorder, its severity and comorbidity, and psychosocial functioning among women. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICI…
Evaluation of the Dispositional Hope Scale in injury survivors
Tonic and Phasic Heart Rate as Predictors of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
OBJECTIVE: To examine the relationship between acute measures of a) heart rate (HR) immediately after traumatic injury, b) tonic (resting) HR at 1 week post injury, c) phasic (aroused) HR at 1 week post injury, and d) somatic symptoms of arousal in the prediction of subsequent posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Fear conditioning models propose that HR reactivity shortly after trauma may predict PTSD. METHOD: In a longitudinal study, consecutiv…
Psychometric properties of the Impact of Event Scale—Revised
Acute stress disorder following an industrial accident
Acute stress disorder (ASD) was introduced as a new diagnostic category in the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV; American Psychiatric Association, 1994). Despite some controversy regarding the symptom criteria of ASD, little empirical data have yet been published on this new category. The current research was designed to investigate the prevalence, course, and phenomenology of this disorder follo…
A community based mental health response to a multiple shooting
It has become common practice to develop community based mental health interventions following disasters of various kinds. This paper reports on the mental health response to a multiple fatal shooting mat occurred in a city office block in Melbourne, Australia. Emphasis is placed on the adaptation of general principles to the specific needs of the disaster affected community. A rationale for the approach is presented, and the importance of commun…
