“…This corresponds with the results of a previous study that compared the psychological symptoms of victims of sexual harassment and victims of rape and found no statistically significant difference. [3] In this study, the rates of victims of sexual harassment and victims of rape who had statistically significant scores on a PTSD screening test performed within 3 months after the occurrence of sexual violence were 94.4% and 95.5%, respectively. Therefore, victims of sexual harassment experience PTSD symptoms as severe as those experienced by victims of rape in the initial period after the sexual violence occurs.…”

“…Sexual violence is perceived as a shock and traumatic event by individuals, and victims of sexual violence have a high incidence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). [1][2][3] PTSD is characterized by intrusive thoughts, avoidance of stimuli, negative alterations in cognition and mood, and marked alterations in arousal and reactivity. The lifetime prevalence of PTSD in the general population is reported to be 1 to 14%.…”

et al. 2023

This study aimed to identify and compare central post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms experienced by rape and sexual harassment victims, and the differences between the 2 groups. This study included 935 female victims of sexual violence who visited Sunflower Center in Korea between 2014 and 2020. Of the 935 victims, 172 were rape victims and 763 were sexually harassed. The Korean version of the Post-traumatic Diagnosis Scale was used to evaluate PTSD symptoms, and network analysis was performed to examine the differences in symptoms. The central symptom was “Physical reactions (PDS05)” for the group of rape victims and Less interest in activities (PDS09)’ for the group of sexual harassment victims. For the group of sexual harassment victims, the most distinct central edge was the one between “Being over alert (PDS16)” and “Being jumpy or easily startled (PDS17),” and for the group of rape victims, it was the edge between “Upset when reminded of the trauma (PDS04),” and “Physical reactions (PDS05).” Network analysis revealed differences in central PTSD symptoms and central edges between sexual harassment and rape victims. Although re-experiencing and avoidance symptom clusters were most central in both groups, the specific central symptoms and edges differed between the 2 groups.

“…It is reported that the average prevalence of PTSD among Korean adults is less than 2%, which indicates lower statistics than those of the United States or Canada (Hong et al, 2020). However, 38% of Korean adults who experienced the disasters were reported to fall into the PTSD high-risk group (Kim et al, 2018), and 12.8% of all Koreans to the PTSD risk group as the recent rapid increase in stress caused by COVID-19 (Ministry of Health and Welfare, 2022). In addition, the investigations revealed an increase of 45.4% in the number of PTSD patients during the last 5 years (National Health Insurance Service, 2020).…”

“…Existing studies mostly targeted the occupational groups that are likely to experience PTSD, such as police officers, firefighters, soldiers, and North Korean refugees (Chung et al, 2002;Kim & Jhone, 2021;Lee, 2012), or focused on the areas where disasters occurred (Ji & Hwang, 2008;Park, 2015). However, it is necessary to consider that PTSD can be expressed not only from the large events that meet the diagnostic criteria of DSM but also through traumatic events experienced in daily life (Kim et al, 2018). In other words, PTSD should be viewed as an experience of traumatic events that can occur to anyone throughout their lifetime, not just as a specific event that occurred to individuals.…”

This study examined co-occurring patterns of mental health among disaster victims using latent profile analysis and assessed the difference between sociodemographic factors and protective factors that affect group classification. The data of 2300 disaster victims from 2019 (4th wave) NDMI (National Disaster Management Research Institute) for Long-term Survey on the Change of Life of Disaster Victims were analyzed. The latent profile analysis revealed that three profiles; High comorbid symptom (HCS) (6.2%), Medium comorbid symptom (MCS) (22.6%), and Low symptom (LS) (71.2%). The factors that explain the difference in this divided profile group were the type of disaster, hurt, income, age, elapsed years, resilience, and community resilience in the multinomial logistic regression. When individual resilience and community resilience are high, more effective in making people belong to the low comorbid symptom group. Therefore, there is a need for a strategy that promotes synergy between the two relationships while maintaining a dual focus point of view that fosters resilience at the individual and community level together.

Background: This study attempted to examine the impact of each cognitive processing style (bottom-up, top-down) on attention patterns following a traumatic experience by measuring attentional blink (AB).Methods: Participants were 37 university students with no direct experience of traffic accidents. They were randomly assigned to either a single-task (bottom-up processing) group or a dual-task (top-down processing) group, who performed the Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) after watching an analogue trauma video. The correct response rate to target stimuli was then compared between groups based on stimulus type and stimulus presentation interval.Results: In the dual-task group, no significant differences were found. However, in the single-task group, a trend towards a decrease in the correct response rate to the target stimulus was observed 200 ms after the presentation of the traumatic stimulus (i.e., AB).Conclusions: This tendency can be explained by the phenomenon of automatic attentional capture by traumatic stimuli, suggesting a relationship between bottom-up processing and attentional bias.
