Previous studies indicate that posttraumatic stress disorder is one of the major mental health challenges that affect military personnel who have experienced combat situations. However, there is still paucity of research on the factors that predict PTSD in Nigerian military setting despite increasing rate of Boko-Haram exposure. This study therefore examined the predictive influence of peritraumatic factors (combat exposure, number of deployments, duration of deployments and substance use) among Nigerian military personnel exposed to Boko-Haram insurgency in North-eastern Nigeria. Data were collected using standardized questionnaires on a sample of 715 participants. Two hypotheses were tested using Pearson correlation and hierarchical multiple regression, and results revealed a significant positive relationship between combat exposure (r= .36; p<.05), substance use coping (r= .14; p<.01) and PTSD. However, number (r= .07; p>.05) and duration of deployments (r= .04; p>.05) were found to have no significant relationship with PTSD. Additional findings indicated that combat exposure (β= .32, t= 9.10; p<.05) and using substance to cope with the experience of combat (β= -.11, t= 3.14; p<.05) independently and jointly [R= .36, F(4,707)= 15.13, P<.05] predicted PTSD, while the influence of duration and multiple deployments were statistically insignificant. Findings imply that Nigerian military personnel who experience combat and resort to substance use to cope stand a higher risk of developing PTSD. Thus, Military authority should give adequate attention on training to restrain its personnel from substance use coping during stressful encounters to prevent the development of posttraumatic stress disorder.

Over the years, studies have identified posttraumatic stress disorder as one of the greatest problems in military and police population worldwide. Apparently, extant literature have associated this problem with combat exposure; however, what is still unclear is whether adopting certain coping strategies like substance use after homecoming from combat deployment could increase vulnerability to combat-related PTSD especially among Nigerian police population that has been associated with high substance use coping. This study therefore examined the mediatory role of substance use coping in the relationship between combat exposure and posttraumatic stress disorder among Nigerian mobile police personnel exposed to BokoHaram insurgency in the North-eastern, Nigeria. Data were collected using standardized questionnaires on a sample of 630 participants. Two hypotheses were stated and analysed using Pearson correlation, linear and hierarchical multiple regression, and results revealed a significant positive relationship between combat exposure (r= .36; p<.01), substance use coping (r=.28; p<.01) and PTSD; as well as combat exposure and substance use(r= .19; p<.05). Additional findings indicated that combat exposure (β=.09, t= 2.2; p<.05) and substance use coping strategy (β= .26, t= 6.74; p<.01) independently and jointly [F(1,622)= 29.05; R.29, R2=.09; p<.01] influenced PTSD, and that substance use coping significantly mediated the relationship between combat exposure (β1= .136**, β2= .85*) as indicated by a significant reduction in the beta values. This shows that police personnel who experience combat and resort to substance use to cope are more vulnerable to PTSD. Thus, police authorities must restrain use of substance coping to reduce vulnerability to combat-related PTSD.

1. The Epigenetic Effects of Stress The term “epigenetic” refers to an effect or condition that arises from non-genetic influences on gene expression. Those influences can include environmental conditions, stress, a person’s emotional state, or physical trauma. Specifically, these effects are heritable, but that heritability does not occur through the normal mechanisms by which genotypes are passed from one generation to the next--hence the prefix "epi-" which means "on, upon, or above.”

The study explored the effect of primary care giving (PCG) to mentally ill on family stability (FS) in Mathari hospital, Kenya given the fact that increasing PCG to mentally ill is gradually translating into FS. The study was based on two specific objectives: to examine the effects of Mental illness on the primary care givers and to establish the effects of the forms of PCG. Two hypotheses were tested; H1: PCG to mentally ill have a significant positive effect on FS; H2: PCG to the mentally ill has a negative effect on FS. This was a cross section study design. A sample of 260 from 800 care-givers was obtained using Krejce and Morgan table guide. Questionnaires with close ended questions were distributed to care-givers to obtain results that were later screened for accuracy and entered into SPSS (Version 22). A 25-item care-giver self-report used to assess stresslevels of family caregivers for chronically ill older adult patients, with co-efficient Alpha reliability values of .7804, and .98 from two studies by Epstein-Lubow was used to measure FS. Besides, a 14-items care-giver questionnaire adopted from Lifetime resources was adopted to measure care-giving as approved by Benedict & Dillsboro. The effect of PCG giving to mentally ill on FS was established using paired T-test. Findings showed that; transportation, meal preparations, medication, walking assistance, walking patients and toilet services were given to the mentally ill in Kenya and several factors explained FS: taking care of their mentally ill in Kenya; balance of time, share of resources, discrimination of mentally ill people, stigma as a community and family affair, lack of privacy and too much responsibilities. The study established a positive relationship between PCG to mentally ill and FS in Kenya. Besides, ANOVA results showed a statistically positive significant effect of PH giving on FS in Kenya.

Biofeedback is a treatment used for training patients to improve their health by using signals from their own body. It helps those patients who are tense and anxious and makes them relax. Research has shown that biofeedback, alone and in combination with other behavioral therapies, is effective for treating a variety of medical and psychological disorders, ranging from headache to hypertension to attentional disorders. It guides the individuals to facilitate the learning of voluntary control over body and mind, and take a more active role in maintaining personal health and higher level mind-body wellness. Biofeedback is based on the recognition that changes in the mind and emotions affect the body, and changes in the body also influence the mind and emotions. Biofeedback underscores educating individuals to become aware and increase control over their nervous system, brain, and body, and improve flexibility in physiologic responding. Feedback training has the positive effect of improving performance, learning and health.

Background: Geriatric depression is a growing global problem, expected to be the leading cause of mortality in the next decade. We attempted to explore the previously unidentified burden of depression and its correlates amongst South Indian elderly residing in an urban area. Methods: A cross sectional study including 100 community dwelling urban elders aged 60 years and older was conducted. A predesigned questionnaire was used to collect data on sociodemographic variables, chronic health conditions, changes in vision and cognition, addictions, and medication usage. Depression was assessed using Geriatric Depression Scale. Other measurements included anthropometry and blood pressure. Logistic regression was done to identify the independently associated correlates of depression. Results: The prevalence of geriatric depression was 23%. 15.4% men and 31.2% women had depression. On logistic regression, the independent correlates of depression were living single (OR:4.26; 95% CI:1.06–17.09), poor self-rated health (OR:12.09; 95% CI:1.41–103.14), bedridden (OR:5.29; 95% CI:1.21–23.04) and osteoarthritis (OR: 4.91; 95% CI:1.39–17.28). Conclusion: The burden of depression in our urban geriatric population was moderate. Several correlates were positively associated. While addressing geriatric morbidity, screening for elderly depression, as well as exploration and management of related factors would be of significance.

Burn is a severe trauma and affected the lives of many. Burn is twice as likely to affect the women as compared to men. Burn afflicted women not only suffer from psychological as well as physical problems. This study is conducted to examine the frequency of burns, level of self-esteem and depression among burn afflicted women and to identify the effects of burns on the lives of burn victims. A cross-sectional study is conducted among 105 young women of age 18 and above, assessment instruments included Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE). Variables were analyzed using descriptive statistics whereas the relationships between different variables were observed using spearman rank correlation and chi square test respectively. Regression analysis is also applied to predict the factors affecting self-esteem and depression among burn afflicted women. The study depicted that majority of women were of age more than 32 years, majority has reported that they have received help and support from their families. This study revealed that majority of the burn victims were burnt accidentally whereas it was explored that 35% women have low, 63% women have moderate and only about 2% women have high self-esteem. It was also observed that 20% women have minimal, 36% women have mild, 29% have moderate and only 15% women have severe depression. It is concluded that self-esteem is associated with family support and type of burn whereas there is a significant relationship between depression, age, family support and type of burn respectively. The results concluded that depression is dependent on burn status, religion, age and marital status whereas self-esteem is dependent on burn status.
