Summary: Cognitive theories suggest that how individuals process trauma-related information can impact posttraumatic sequelae, with adaptive interpretations leading to resilience and recovery. The Trauma-Related Cognitions Scale (TRCS) measures beliefs associated with cognitive processes and has been validated as a reliable measure of trauma beliefs for potential use in research and clinical settings.

Summary: The study suggests that resilience may help reduce negative trauma-related cognitions after trauma recall, but more research is needed to understand its long-term clinical utility.

Summary: The 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake caused unprecedented disasters in Fukushima Prefecture. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 118 nurses in a hospital near the nuclear accident site. The study found that a significant proportion of nurses experienced traumatic events during the disaster, with some missing work and showing higher posttraumatic stress symptoms. Resilience and supervisor support were found to reduce stress levels. The study suggests the importance of establishing a supportive workplace culture during disasters and enhancing resilience to alleviate stress and trauma.

Summary: Previous research has shown a link between social support and PTSD symptoms in military personnel. This study examines how changes in perceived social support from pre- to 2.5 year post-deployment are associated with levels of PTSD symptoms. The results suggest that deterioration in perceived social support increases the risk of elevated PTSD symptoms post-deployment.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruption and loss worldwide, with more focus on negative impacts rather than resilience and growth. A survey of New Zealanders' experiences during the pandemic found that most participants identified positive aspects during the lockdown, leading to themes of "Surviving" and "Thriving". Examining both positive and negative consequences of the pandemic offers nuanced insights into the impact on mental well-being in New Zealand.

Summary: Laboratory-based studies have consistently shown negative effects on warfighter's performance under simulated military stress. This study aimed to assess the impact of a 48-hour simulated military stress on military tactical decision making, with results indicating that high adaptors demonstrated better baseline psychological resilience and aerobic capacity compared to low adaptors.

Summary: The transition from military to civilian life is often stressful for veterans. This study found that mental health symptoms fluctuate in the period leading up to and following separation from the military, with personnel with Honorable discharges showing no change in symptoms and personnel with Other than Honorable/General discharges reporting progressively greater symptoms leading to separation.

Summary: Emerging evidence suggests that harmful exposures during military service, such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), may contribute to mental health, chronic disease, and mortality risks. This cohort study assessed the mortality rates and estimated the number of excess deaths among veterans serving after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks with and without exposure to TBI. The results highlight the importance of understanding and addressing the elevated mortality risks faced by veterans exposed to TBI.

Summary: Executive function (EF) may play a significant but small role in the development of PTSD symptoms among military personnel after trauma exposure. These findings have important implications for future research and intervention, specifically in incorporating strategies to improve EF in PTSD treatment.

Summary: This article presents findings from three large-scale representative survey studies conducted in the German federal state of Baden-Wurttemberg. These studies are part of the Social Cohesion Radar research initiative of Bertelsmann Stiftung. The research explores the role of social cohesion in the relationship between COVID-related objective and subjective strain, and future optimism among different age groups. The results suggest that while perceived social cohesion has modest effects on the relationship between strain and future optimism, individuals affected by COVID tend to be more optimistic about the future compared to those who were not affected.

Summary: This study examined the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of CD-RISC-10 in a sample of Chinese military personnel. The results showed that CD-RISC-10 demonstrated good internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and criterion-related validity with measures of mental health and military performance. These findings suggest that CD-RISC-10 is a reliable and valid assessment tool for resilience in Chinese military personnel.

Summary: A review was conducted on resilience-building programmes for military personnel and frontline emergency workers prior to deployment, which found that interventions using cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness were relatively successful in enhancing resilience, however, the effectiveness in reducing symptoms of post-traumatic stress and PTSD remains uncertain.

Summary: This study examined the difficulties that service members face when transitioning from military to civilian life and found that changes in mental health observed during active duty were associated with post-military adjustment. The results showed that higher levels and increases in posttraumatic stress, anger, and depression during deployment were related to increased stress and decreased job satisfaction after leaving the Army. Monitoring changes in mental health during active duty can help identify personnel who need additional support during the military-to-civilian transition.

Summary: This study developed machine learning models to accurately predict the risk of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) before military deployment using self-reported predictors. The findings suggest that predeployment stratification of PTSD risk is feasible and can aid in the development of targeted intervention strategies.

Summary: Negative symptoms of schizophrenia have been overlooked, and this study found an association between negative symptoms and the risk of dissociative disorder, independently of depression and anxiety symptoms. It is important to consider both negative symptoms and dissociative symptoms in clinical practice to better understand their interaction.

Summary: This study investigates the association between cognitive reappraisal and panic disorder (PD), and finds that PD patients have weakened functional connectivity between the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and the amygdala, which is associated with the severity of PD symptoms. Additionally, cognitive reappraisal is negatively correlated with PD severity, and the PFC-amygdala functional connectivity plays a mediating role in this association.

Summary: Depression and anxiety are prevalent mental disorders among adolescents. The study utilized network analysis to examine the symptom dimension of depression and anxiety in different age groups of adolescents. The results indicated that different age groups have different key symptoms and bridging symptoms, highlighting the importance of targeting specific symptoms at different stages of adolescence in treatment to alleviate the comorbidity of anxiety and depression.

Summary: Screening for psychological distress in adolescents is important, and the Distress Questionnaire-5 (DQ5) is a reliable measure for this purpose. The study found that DQ5 had good fit to a unidimensional construct, strong criterion and predictive validity, and sensitivity to change. The brevity and ease of interpretation of DQ5 make it suitable for screening in schools.

Summary: Major depressive disorder is a prevalent condition worldwide, but the proportion of patients receiving treatment has not increased. Biomarkers related to drug-treatment responses can be used to monitor the effectiveness of medication. Serum protein levels were compared among patients with depression who received medication, those who did not, and a control group. Eight biomarkers were identified, which can be used to monitor the effectiveness of drug treatment.
