The Impact

AbstractThis study investigates if perceived self-efficacy during an emergency situation has a protective role in the development of posttraumatic stress symptoms among Italian and Spanish survivors of several emergency situations. We explored the impact of self-efficacy in a multiple regression model including other predictors of posttraumatic stress symptoms, such as emergency prevention knowledge; trust in emergency services; risk perception of becoming a victim of an emergency situation; and conscious and active behaviors in comparison with no conscious and no active behavior during the emergency. We carried out a retrospective study recruiting 214 participants who reported their experience as victims of one specific emergency event. Results showed that survivors who perceived themselves as more self-efficacious during the traumatic event had less posttraumatic stress symptoms. In contrast, female gender, more self-threat perception and higher trauma severity were associated with more symptoms. Findings contribute to better understand human behavior in emergency situations and evidence the protective role of perceived self-efficacy beliefs among survivors of emergency situations.

Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to explore anxiety, worry, and posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) in parents of children with food allergies, and to evaluate whether these three psychological outcomes could be predicted by allergy severity, intolerance of uncertainty, and food allergy self-efficacy. Methods Participants were 105 parents who reported their children to have medically diagnosed food allergies. Participants were recruited to a study on parent wellbeing through an allergy clinic and social media advertisements. Participants completed online questionnaires assessing anxiety, worry, PTSS, intolerance of uncertainty, food allergy self-efficacy, and demographic and allergy information. Results In this sample, 81.0% of parents reported clinically significant worry, 42.3% met the clinical cut-off for PTSS, and 39.1% reported moderate-extremely severe anxiety. Greater intolerance of uncertainty and lower food allergy self-efficacy were associated with poorer psychological outcomes, with mixed results for allergy severity. However, intolerance of uncertainty was the only variable to consistently account for unique variance within regression models. Conclusions This study highlights the need for greater awareness of mental health in parents of children with food allergy. The study also indicates that factors impacting on parents’ perception of threat may be most strongly predictive of psychological outcomes, warranting further research. Finally, the study indicates that intolerance of uncertainty may be a promising target for psychological interventions within this population.

Rates of attrition from child trauma-focused treatment are high, yet few predictors of premature termination are known. Caregiver-child symptom discrepancies are common in this population and have been related to treatment outcome. However, research has not examined whether caregiver–child symptom concordance is associated with attrition. The aim of the study was to determine whether pretreatment caregiver–child symptom agreement predicted premature termination from trauma-focused treatment. Two hundred and sixty-nine treatment-seeking children ages 8 to 12 ( M = 9.97, SD = 1.49; 64.7% female, 51.3% Black) and their non-offending caregivers were included in the study. Two operational definitions of attrition are as follows: (a) clinician-rated dropout, and (b) whether the child received an adequate dose of treatment (i.e., 12 or more sessions), which were used to more thoroughly examine premature termination. Rates of attrition were high (68.1% clinician-rated premature termination, 37.4% received inadequate dose). Levels of symptom concordance between caregivers and children were low across symptom difficulties (intraclass correlations = .003–.16). Lower levels of discordance for posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) were associated with an increased likelihood of receiving an adequate dose of treatment (odds ratio [OR] = 1.03). Nonetheless, unexpectedly, higher levels of caregiver–child discordance for anxiety symptoms at pretreatment predicted both clinician-rated treatment completion and adequate dose (ORs = .97, .96, respectively). However, caregiver’s and children’s perceptions of children’s trauma-related difficulties may not converge, and thus, both reports are important to assess. Symptom disagreement regarding PTSS may help identify families at risk for attrition.

The Relationship

This study aimed to examine the relationship of exposure to family violence (i.e., experiencing parental physical violence [PH] and psychological aggression [PA] and witnessing interparental PH and PA) during childhood and adolescence with posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) during young adulthood. In addition, the mediating role of self-efficacy in this relationship was investigated. Data were collected from a convenience sample of 516 university and college students in Israel (90.7% female and 9.3% male; Mage = 24.9, SD = 2.7). The results revealed that experiencing parental violence and witnessing interparental violence during childhood and adolescence were associated with high levels of current PTSS. The results also indicate that experiencing parental violence was associated with lower levels of self-efficacy, whereas no such significant relationship was found between witnessing interparental violence and self-efficacy. Furthermore, a negative relationship was found between self-efficacy and PTSS. In addition, the results show a partial mediation effect of self-efficacy only on the relationship between experiencing parental violence and PTSS. The findings are interpreted in light of Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory. The strengths and limitations of the study as well as implications for future research are discussed.
