Background
Recent studies and approaches establish an association between childhood traumas and secondary traumatic stress. Individuals with childhood traumas are more vulnerable to occasions causing secondary traumatic stress, which is aimed to be elaborated in this study.
Objective
The association of childhood traumas with secondary traumatic stress is examined in this study with individuals working in penal institutions as subjects of secondary traumatic stress.
Methods
Participants consisted of 344 correctional officers, police officers, soldiers, and other employees in penal institutions (67.7% female, 32.3% male). Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale results were compared to the findings gathered from the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire.
Results
The results indicated that the employees of penal institutions regard themselves as negatively affected by their working environments, the scores collected in secondary traumatic stress increases as the time spent at work, age, and educational status increases, and that the employees of the penal institutions working as correctional officers are more victims of secondary traumatic stress than other groups. The findings also revealed that secondary traumatic stress is correlated with childhood traumas (r = 0.25, p < .01).
Conclusion
Childhood traumas and secondary traumatic stress appear to be relevant. The gender, age, educational status, and the time spent at work are also closely related with secondary traumatic stress which is advised to be researched further with employees of penal institutions.

Background
Childhood trauma (CT) is a significant risk factor for the development of psychopathology, including maladaptive personality traits and psychiatric symptoms. CT has been shown to impact various psychological outcomes, including mood disorders and personality pathologies, but the underlying mechanisms remain underexplored. This study investigates the roles of dissociation and metacognition as parallel mediators in the relationship between CT, personality disorders, and psychiatric symptoms in a general population.
Method
A total of 1881 adult participants from general population, were included in this cross-sectional study. Participants were administered several self-report questionnaires, including the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), the Metacognition Self-Assessment Scale (MSAS), the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES-II), the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5), and the Symptom Checklist-90- R (SCL-90-R). Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression models and parallel mediation analyses to test the hypotheses that dissociation and metacognition mediate the relationship between childhood trauma, personality disorder severity, and general psychiatric symptoms.
Findings
Results indicated that higher levels of childhood trauma were significantly associated with increased dissociative experiences, lower metacognitive abilities, greater maladaptive personality traits, and more severe psychiatric symptoms. Emotional abuse, in particular, was most strongly correlated with personality disorder severity and psychiatric symptoms. Dissociation and metacognition were found to be significant parallel mediators of the relationship between childhood trauma and both personality disorder severity and psychiatric symptoms. Dissociation was a stronger predictor than metacognition, especially in individuals with high personality disorder severity. In this subgroup, dissociation remained a significant mediator, while metacognition played a lesser role.
Conclusion
This study provides empirical support for the mediating roles of dissociation and metacognition in the relationship between childhood trauma and adult psychopathology. The findings suggest that these factors, particularly dissociation, are critical pathways linking childhood trauma to more severe personality disorders and psychiatric symptoms. These insights offer potential therapeutic targets, emphasizing the need to address dissociative tendencies and metacognitive deficits in interventions for individuals with histories of childhood trauma. Future research should further investigate these mechanisms longitudinally and explore how different types of trauma differentially affect psychological outcomes. Addressing these mediators could enhance the effectiveness of interventions aimed at reducing the long-term psychological impact of childhood trauma.

Context
In recent years, natural disasters have become a pressing public health issue, affecting people in multifaceted ways that encompass their physical wellbeing, financial security, social structures, and psychological health. The immediate physical effects of floods have been extensively examined, but the longer-term psychological ramifications as they relate to personality traits have received comparatively less research attention.
Purpose
This study aimed to elucidate the complex interplay of vulnerability and contextual factors underlying the chronic psychological impact of natural disasters among treatment-seeking survivors. Specifically, this research aspired to explore the prevalence of self-reported long-term post-traumatic stress and depression symptoms in survivors of the 2017 Eyridice flash flood in Attica, Greece, and identified potential socio-demographic, trauma-related, and personality risk factors that shape the long-term mental health trajectories of natural disaster survivors.
Methods
Data were collected four years post-event via anonymized questionnaires from 98 community residents presenting to the Trauma and Disaster Recovery Clinic set up locally. The survey pack included the Davidson Trauma Scale (DTS), the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (ZSDS), the Symptom Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R), the Cambridge Depersonalization Scale (CDS), and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ).
Results
Elevated PTSD and depression symptoms were observed, alongside increased self-reported rates of somatization, anxiety, compulsions, hostility, paranoid ideation, and psychoticism. The key predictors of PTSD were high levels of neuroticism, older age, low levels of psychoticism, and losing one's property in the flood. Using canonical correlation, it was shown that while extraversion and psychoticism might be protective against developing PTSD and depression in the aftermath of a traumatic event, neuroticism acts as a risk factor, associated with higher PTSD and depression scores.
Conclusion
This study represents the first attempt to quantify the chronic psychological consequences to this catastrophic event in a representative sample of local residents, using validated psychometric instruments. The findings highlight protective and vulnerability factors that can inform tailored public health interventions following similar natural disasters.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing traumatic events. Symptoms of PTSD include intrusive thoughts, avoidance behaviors, negative alterations in cognition and mood, and heightened arousal and reactivity. These symptoms can severely impact an individual's daily functioning and quality of life. Refugees, who often face extreme stress and traumatic experiences, are particularly susceptible to PTSD. The high prevalence of PTSD among refugee populations demands effective screening and early intervention to mitigate long-term mental health consequences. Therefore, the primary objective of this study is to leverage machine learning algorithms to predict PTSD in individuals using data derived from the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) and sociodemographic information. By developing a predictive model, in R and using the Python and random forests, we aim to identify individuals at high risk of developing PTSD, according to specific factors interacting in the context, as well allowing for timely and targeted interventions.
Sociodemographic variables and symptoms (features) were collected in 77 survivors with refugee status admitted in Portugal, through sociodemographic questionnaire and the PCL-5, respectively. The predictive model based in each set of factors indicated area under the curve (Receiver Operating Characteristics) with moderate to high values (between >50 and <93) for validations trials with pool sensitivity variation between 33 % and 70 %. Specificity showed unbalanced scoring (false positives approx. 80 %) for some clusters from PCL-5 considering certain variables introduced in model as potential predictors. Intrusive memories and cognitive and mood alterations were the clusters with highest predictive value to determine the ML model by integrating the following sociodemographic factors: date of entry in host country, academic background, household and monthly income. This model may inform and discern future interventions in refugees following trauma exposure with different features.

Objectives
Earthquake, in addition to the structural destruction it causes in the geography where it occurs, is a natural disaster that deeply shakes people's lives and creates serious psychological effects. This study aims to examine the level of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the factors affecting PTSD in individuals who experienced the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake, which is described as the disaster of the century.
Methods
This study included 624 disaster survivors (294 women, 330 men) who were surveyed 12 months after the earthquake. Two researchers visited the city of the earthquake and offered participation to all adults who met the study criteria. The Questionnaire Civilian Version (PCL-S) scale, consisting of a total of 17 questions and 3 subsections (re-experiencing, avoidance, hyperarousal symptoms), was used in the study.
Results
PCL-T scores, which is considered the PTSD, are higher for those whose homes were completely destroyed, those who lost their jobs, those who had no income, those who lost a relative/friend, those who felt alienated from the area they lived in, and those who were married. Reconstruction of the house, restoration of the neighborhood, the level of damage to the house, and return to normal life after the earthquake were found to be significant predictors of the PCL-T score.
Conclusion
The earthquakes in the region have once again demonstrated the importance of building earthquake-resilient cities and infrastructures. In the long term after the earthquake, it is important to increase psychosocial support services including psychological first aid, needs assessment, individual interviews, etc.

This article describes the development of the Hungarian version of the Multidimensional Inventory of Dissociation (MID-HU). The MID is a 218-item, self-administered, multi-scale instrument that comprehensively assesses the phenomenological domain of pathological dissociation and is suitable for diagnosing dissociative disorders. We used a multi-source approach to reach participants. We collected data from the psychiatric and addiction wards of two hospitals, private practices, and from online sources. Finally, the results of 323 participants were analyzed. We used the participants’ DES and MID-HU results to classify them into five groups: (1) Healthy control group, (2) Dissociative disorder group, (3) Dissociative symptoms group, (4) Psychiatric inpatients group without dissociation and substance use disorder (SUD) and (5) Alcohol dependent inpatients without dissociation. For testing discriminant validity we used several sections of SR-DDIS.
The MID-HU had strong internal consistency, temporal stability and strong structural, convergent and discriminant validity. Factor analysis of the MID-HU extracted a single factor: dissociation. Our results are similar to other international findings. We also found that the mean MID-HU correlated strongly with two SR-DDIS subscales: ’Features associated with DID’ (r: 0.79) and the ’Schneiderian first-rank symptoms’ (r: 0.62), while only at a moderate level with the other subscales (r: 0.40). The two dissociative groups proved to be significantly more traumatized than the other groups, although we found childhood traumatization in the psychiatric and AD inpatient groups as well, which affected the construct validity results. The DD group proved to be most severely traumatized among the five groups of participants.

Sexual orientation and gender diverse (SOGD) adults report disproportionately higher rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, examination of PTSD's new E2 criterion (i.e., posttrauma reckless and self-destructive behaviors [RSDBs]) has yet to be investigated among SOGD adults. The current study characterized the rate and types of past-month posttrauma RSDBs among trauma-exposed SOGD adults as well as the relation of past-month posttrauma RSDBs to PTSD severity. Participants were 122 trauma-exposed SOGD adults who were recruited from the community (M age = 32.59; 61.5% female; 18.9% gay/lesbian, 54.1% bisexual/pansexual, and 27% multiple sexual orientation identities). Results revealed a majority of trauma-exposed SOGD adults (69.4%) endorsed at least one past-month posttrauma RSDB. The most frequently endorsed RSDBs were problematic eating behaviors, problematic technology use, and reckless spending. Participants endorsing past-month posttrauma RSDBs reported significantly greater PTSD symptom severity compared to participants not endorsing past-month posttrauma RSDBs. Findings suggest that posttrauma RSDBs are prevalent among trauma-exposed SOGD adults and are associated with PTSD symptom severity, underscoring the need for assessing and intervening on RSDBs in this population.

Findings suggest that posttrauma RSDBs are prevalent among trauma-exposed SOGD adults and are associated with PTSD symptom severity, underscoring the need for assessing and intervening on RSDBs in this population.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":29932,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Trauma & Dissociation","volume":"9 1","pages":"Article 100498"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143162796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
