“…12,13 For a variety of conditions, including PTSD, clinical and vocational outcomes have repeatedly been shown to be poorer when contrasting disability aid recipients with others. [13][14][15][16][17] Unfortunately, prior work has been fundamentally limited because disability aid recipients have almost always been compared with people who never applied for aid. 13,16,17 However, individuals who apply for disability benefits tend to be considerably sicker than those who do not.…”

“…13,16,17 However, individuals who apply for disability benefits tend to be considerably sicker than those who do not. 14,18,19 Comparing outcomes across 2 such inherently different groups will therefore tend to find poorer outcomes among the aid recipients, thus biasing results. This limitation is rarely acknowledged by investigators; however, poorly conceptualized research could carry potentially devastating policy consequences for aid recipients.…”

“…Hence, exploration of research findings within this area is one of the key motives for writing this review paper. Namely, research has shown that people seeking financial compensation have more severe symptoms within the PTSD diagnosis than individuals with this disorder that are not seeking reimbursement (20)(21)(22). The researchers of this area argue that these findings could be clarified within three possible explanations.…”

Posttraumatski stresni poremećaj je produljena/odgođena reakcija na proživljeni traumatski događaj, koja se očituje psihološkim posljedicama poput izbjegavanja podsjetnika na traumu, ponovnog proživljavanja traumatskog događaja te pojačane pobudljivosti organizma. Desetljeća istraživanja ovog poremećaja rezultirala su proširivanjem spoznaja identifikacijom različitih faktora rizika, zaštitnih faktora te odrednica i korelata akutnog i kroničnog tijeka.Cilj ovog rada pružiti je što obuhvatniji pregled suvremenih spoznaja bioloških, psiholoških i socijalnih faktora rizika i korelata poremećaja kao i odrednica njegovog akutnog i kroničnog tijeka. Nalazi istraživanja ovog područja dotiču područja bioloških, psiholoških te socijalnih faktora u podlozi razvoja ovog poremećaja te ukazuju na potrebu za integrativnim pristupom razumijevanju njegova nastanka. Spoznaje nedovoljno istraženoga, no veoma relevantnoga područja socioekonomskih faktora rizika, također su prikazane. Zaključci mnogih istraživanja ovog područja, posebice njegovog kroničnog tijeka, odnose se na zapreke u smislu poteškoća razlučivanja čimbenika koji su premorbidni faktori od onih koji su posljedica samog tijeka poremećaja./ Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) presents a prolonged/delayed reaction to a traumatized event that manifests itself in psychological consequences such as avoiding traumatic reminders, re-experiencing a traumatic event, and intensifying body arousal. Decades of research of this disorder resulted in the expansion of knowledge through the identification of various risk and protective factors, and the determinants and correlates of its acute and chronic course. The aim of this paper is to provide a more comprehensive overview of the current discoveries of biological, psychological, and social factors of risk and correlates of the disorder as well as the determinants of its acute and chronic course. Research findings in this area address the areas of biological, psychological, and social factors underlying the development of this disorder and suggest the need for an integrative approach to understanding its origin. The findings from the understudied, but highly-relevant field of socio-economic risk factors are also presented. The conclusions of a lot of research in this area, particularly its chronic course, are related to obstacles in terms of the difficulty of distinguishing factors that represent premorbid factors than those resulting from the course of the disturbance itself.

“…Following the 1982 Lebanon War, a longitudinal systematic needs assessment of both clinical and nonclinical sample of combatants was initiated and funded by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) (for detail see Solomon, 1993), which also provided early and long-term interventions for traumatized veterans. The effectiveness of these procedures was later evaluated by the IDF (Solomon & Benbenishty, 1986;Solomon et al, 2005;Solomon et al, 1992;Solomon et al, 1994a). While the implementation of this model was not free of fl aws, and its implication was greatly facilitated by the military setting it demonstrates an ongoing process of evaluation of the proposed model.…”

Needs assessment in the wake of disasters is most significant yet highly complex and challenging. Kessler et al. propose a comprehensive disaster mental health research model. This model has several significant advantages: (1) Pre-prepared plans and resources allow rapid deployment of skilled professionals; (2) Continuity will ensure that lessons learned from one disaster will be retained and used in subsequent disasters; (3) Standardization will provide a solid basis for evaluation and comparison across events; (4) Continuous monitoring of needs over time will enable the capture of a full range of responses including delayed effects; and (5) Will provide a valuable resource for researchers in the field. At the same time, there are a number of challenges that must be considered before the establishment and implementation of the proposed center and use of standardized measures. These challenges are associated with the observation that different disasters give rise to different problems and needs; there is considerable cultural variability; and differential power and agenda of stakeholders may result in a limiting 'tunnel vision' approach that may undermine new developments, creativity, and progress. Ways to overcome these challenges and difficulties that are involved in the implementation of such a model are suggested.
