The Impact

The aim was to examine the association between causal attributions for marital violence and emotional reactions of 15 women from two refuges in Northern Ireland. The women who perceived the cause of the violence as stable and uncontrollable scored higher on the Avoidance and Intrusion subscales of the Impact of Events Scale, respectively. In addition, more global causal attributions were associated with higher scores on Intrusion and Avoidance as well as depressive symptomatology as measured by the Beck Depression Inventory. No evidence was, however, found to support the view that these women were engaged in self-blaming (attributions tended to be overwhelmingly external).

Objective: The aim of this study was to translate and evaluate the validity and reliability of the Impact of Events Scale-Revised (IES-R) among the Iranian general population during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.Method: This study was methodological cross-sectional. It was conducted on an Iranian public population from April to July 2020 which was during the COVID-19 pandemic. Construct validity was determined through exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with a total of 500 adults recruited via online data gathering. Reliability was checked through the average inter-item correlation (AIC), Cronbach's alpha, and McDonald's omega. Convergent and divergent validity was determined using Fornell and Larcker's approach.Results: The results showed that the Persian version of IES-R had three factors, including intrusion (six items), avoidance (seven items), and hyperarousal (five items), that explained 59.22% of the total variance of the IES-R. The CFA findings indicated that all goodness-of-fit indices confirmed the model fit. The Cronbach's alpha, McDonald's omega, composite reliability (CR), and maximal reliability were excellent, and the three factors have good convergent validity.Conclusion: The findings of this study indicated that the Persian version of the IES-R scale is efficient and useful to assess post-traumatic stress disorder among Iran general population in the COVID-19 outbreak.

Статья посвящена исследованию особенностей и взаимосвязи психического здоровья (тревожности, психических расстройств, ПТСР) и копинг-стратегий у беременных женщин в период пандемии коронавируса COVID-19. В исследовании приняло участие 120 беременных женщин 19-43 года, на сроке беременности от 8 до 40 недель. Методики: шкала психологического функционирования (Adult ASR/18-59); шкала реактивной тревожности; способы совладающего поведения; шкала оценки влияния травматического события (Impact of Events Scale-Revised). Исследование выявило более высокий уровень тревожности, большую частоту ПТСР и депрессивных расстройств у беременных женщин в период пандемии по сравнению с нормативными данными до пандемии; наиболее выраженными копинг-стратегиями у беременных женщин являются поиск социальной поддержки и планирование решения проблем. Анализ взаимосвязей копинг-ресурсов и психического здоровья у беременных женщин показал негативное влияние на психическое здоровье таких неконструктивных копинг-стратегий как стратегия избегания, дистанцирования и конфронтации. The article is devoted to the study of the characteristics and relationship of mental health (anxiety, mental disorders, PTSD) and coping strategies in pregnant women during the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. The study involved 120 pregnant women 19-43 years old, at a gestational age of 8 to 40 weeks. Methods: The Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (Adult ASR / 18-59); State anxiety scale; Way of coping; Scale for assessing the impact of a traumatic event (Impact of Events Scale-Revised). The study revealed a higher level of anxiety, a higher incidence of PTSD and depressive disorders in pregnant women during the pandemic compared with the pre-pandemic normative data; the most pronounced coping strategies in pregnant women are seeking social support and planning for problem solving. Analysis of the relationship between coping resources and mental health in pregnant women showed a negative impact on mental health of such non-constructive coping strategies as strategies of avoidance, distancing and confrontation.
