: The mental health impact of the COVID-19 crisis may differ from previously studied stressful events in terms psychological reactions, specific risk factors, and symptom severity across geographic regions worldwide.
Background The current study investigated the underlying dimensionality of DSM ‐5 posttraumatic stress disorder ( PTSD ) symptoms in a trauma‐exposed Chinese adolescent sample using confirmatory factor analytic CFA alternative model approach. Methods consisted 559 students (242 females and 314 males) ranging age from 12 to 18 years M = 15.8, SD 1.3). Participants completed Checklist for , Major Depression Disorder Panic subscales Revised Children's Anxiety Scale, Aggressive Behavior subscale...
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a complex and severe mental triggered by exposure to an extraordinarily traumatic event. Human animal studies have implied the functional role of oxytocin system in development PTSD (Cochran, Fallon, Hill, & Frazier, 2013; Koch et al., 2014; Olff, 2012). Specification emergence progression symptomatology would provide evidence inform both theory clinical practice.This study examined association between serum levels symptoms. A total 106 Chinese male...
Genetic factors are important in the development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following exposure to traumatic events. However, molecular genetic underpinnings this have not been definitive. This study examined association between tryptophan hydroxylase 2 (TPH2) rs11178997 genotype, a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) located transcriptional control region, and PTSD symptoms. A total 326 Chinese adults who suffered from deadly 2008 Wenchuan earthquake lost their children during...
The Resilience Evaluation Scale (RES) is a novel and freely available measure of psychological resilience (factored into self-confidence self-efficacy). To date, psychometric properties were evaluated in Dutch American samples, but not yet Chinese sample. We aimed to validate the RES sample by examining its factor structure, reliability, construct validity. was translated following cross-cultural translation adaptation procedure. Self-report questionnaires including RES, exposure potentially...
This study examined the association between COMT Val158Met genotype and depression symptoms. A total of 326 Chinese adults who experienced deadly 2008 Wenchuan earthquake lost children during disaster participated in this study. Depression symptoms were measured using Center for Epidemiological Studies Scale (CES-D). The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was successfully genotyped MassARRAY system. Results indicated that although not associated with symptoms, it significantly correlated...
Background: Internationally deployed humanitarian aid (HA) workers are routinely confronted with potentially traumatic stressors. However, it remains unknown whether HA deployment and related stress associated long-term changes in hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function. Therefore, we investigated cortisol awakening response (CAR) decreased upon this was moderated by previous recent trauma exposure parallel symptom severity perceived social support.Methods: In prospective study, n...
