The Impact

BackgroundThe incidence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after traumatic brain injury is unclear. One issue involves the validity of diagnosis using self-report questionnaires.AimsTo compare PTSD ‘caseness' arising from questionnaire self-report and structured interview.MethodParticipants (n=34) with traumatic brain injury were recruited. Screening measures and self-report questionnaires were administered, followed by the structured interview.ResultsUsing questionnaires, 59% fulfilled criteria for PTSD on the Post-traumatic Diagnostic Scale and 44% on the Impact of Events Scale, whereas using structured interview (Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale) only 3% were ‘cases'. This discrepancy may arise from confusions between effects of PTSD and traumatic brain injury.ConclusionsAfter traumatic brain injury, PTSD self-report measures might be used for screening but not diagnosis.

The Individual

The war in the East of Ukraine has taken the interest to the issues of post-traumatic disorders to a significantly high level. Due to the activity of the domestic scientists among the instruments of the psychologists-officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine there's a high variability of methods to define and identify the post traumatic disorders and deviations. They are represented both in the form of brief surveys for prior screening of the features of the post-traumatic stress disorder, states of emergency and depression and as well as in the form of the multifactor surveys to point out the severe reaction on stress, post-traumatic stress disorder, disorders in terms of adaptation, as well as other disorders under post-traumatic deviations. However, it is to be mentioned, that they are designed to identify the disorder that already obtained a nozological form. A number of surveys have shown that one of the main predictors of the post-traumatic stress disorder is a severe reaction to stress. Accordingly to the abovementioned, the development of a permanent and chronicle disorder could be prevented by identifying the post-traumatic disorders at the early stage of their appearance, previously to the development of the nozological disorder and a timely provision of the psycho-therapeutical assistance. The article presents the results of the development of the individual semi-structured aimed interview and the assessment of its effectiveness as the method for diagnosis of post-traumatic disorders. The comparative analyses of the results of surveys with the results of the conducted interviews has manifested that the individual aimed semi-structured interview carries out the functions of diagnosis and could have a number of advantages compared with surveys.

AbstractDespite the higher proportion of foreclosures and home evictions executed in Spain, compared to other countries, and the known link between social exclusion and mental health problems, studies exploring this association in Spain remain scarce. This study investigated the link between the process of home eviction and the appearance of symptomatology of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and perceived stress. Two hundred and five people affected by the process of home eviction were assessed using a structured interview that included three validated assessment instruments for PTSD, perceived stress, anxiety and depression. Analysis involved comparison with the normative groups that formed the validation studies together with regression analysis to determine the major psychological and socio-demographic predictors of perceived stress. Of the participants, 95.1% reported that they were experiencing the process of home eviction with fear, helplessness, or horror. In PTSD symptomatology, they scored higher than the normative PTSD group in symptoms of avoidance (t = 5.01; p < .05), activation (t = 5.48; p < .01), and total score (t = 4.15; p < .05). Of this subgroup, 72.5% fulfilled the DSM-IV symptom criteria for PTSD. The major predictor of perceived stress was PTSD symptomatology (B = .09; p < .001). The process of home eviction in Spain is having an alarming impact on mental health of affected people calling for effective measures to provide psychological and social support.
