Summary: This study aimed to analyze the risk factors of PTSD among the 2004 Indian tsunami survivors in Aceh and North Sumatra province, Indonesia. The results showed that 15% and 20% of the respondents had persistent medium-term and delayed-onset PTSD, respectively. The vital predictors of persistent PTSD included being female, aged 50 and older, married, and having higher direct trauma exposures to the tsunami. Furthermore, delayed-onset PTSD was associated with negative life events after the tsunami and perceived less social support.

Summary: This study identified 11 genes that contribute to the pathogenesis of PTSD by regulating brain protein abundance. Seven of these genes were replicated in further studies and four also showed association with PTSD at the brain mRNA level. These findings provide promising targets for mechanistic and therapeutic studies for PTSD.

Summary: This study from Stockholm, Sweden examines the long-term effects of losing a loved one during childhood or adolescence. The results show significant differences in psychological distress, posttraumatic stress symptoms, and self-rated health between those who experienced the loss (bereaved) and those who didn't (nonbereaved). The study also identifies three themes related to the experience of loss: living in trauma, carrying heavy baggage, and living with change. These findings highlight the importance of considering the personal grief experienced by young adults who have lost someone.

Summary: The diagnosis of fetal anomaly increases the risk of depression and traumatic stress in expectant mothers and fathers, both acutely and over time. Parents with a more severe diagnosis experience higher levels of symptoms. Among mothers, prognostic ambiguity and changes in the anticipated diagnosis after birth are also associated with increased distress.

Summary: Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) is a positive psychological change that occurs after traumatic experiences, particularly among survivors of acquired brain injury (ABI). This study investigated the factors associated with long-term PTG in individuals with moderate to severe ABIs. The results showed that fewer symptoms of depression, more symptoms of anxiety, and use of adaptive coping strategies were related to PTG one year post-ABI, while fewer symptoms of depression, fewer ongoing symptoms of brain injury, better psychological quality of life, and use of adaptive coping strategies were related to PTG eight years post-ABI. Long-term neuropsychological support may promote PTG by facilitating adaptive coping, supporting psychological wellbeing, and helping individuals find meaning after ABI.

Summary: This paper explores the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and post-traumatic growth (PTG) among Syrian refugees in Turkey and determines the role of coping styles in this community. The results indicate that utilizing problem-focused coping mechanisms can predict higher levels of PTG, and the intensity of intrusion symptoms, level of exposure to pre-war traumatic experiences, and strength of religiosity also have predictive power for PTG.

Summary: This current study examines the associations between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), avoidance strategies, mindfulness, and psychological distress. The findings suggest that initial PTSD symptoms predict subsequent psychological distress, and initial mindfulness is negatively correlated with subsequent alexithymia, PTSD, and distress outcomes. Additionally, initial alexithymia is positively associated with subsequent PTSD and distress. The study highlights the importance of mindfulness in reducing alexithymia and PTSD symptoms, leading to lower levels of psychological distress over time. Difficulty identifying and describing emotions are also linked to a lower likelihood of developing PTSD symptoms and experiencing psychological distress over time.
