“…Seventh, environmental adversities and mass violence such as a destroyed home or neighbourhood (e.g., due to a fire, natural disaster, or war) were also not included in the YCAS, but could affect mental health (Blanc et al, 2020;El-Khodary & Samara, 2018), warranting addition. Eighth, the YCAS did not assess whether someone grew up in foster care, a care home, or was raised by someone else than the biological parent(s).…”

Early adversity (EA) scales often display insufficient content coverage and typically assess the presence of adversity, but not its severity. To address some of these limitations, we developed the 13-item Youth and Childhood Adversity Scale. We subsequently revised and expanded the scale regarding content coverage and item wording, resulting in a 22-item version, which we here validate in one cross-sectional (N = 1498; 43.9% females; 24.42 years old, SD = 3.72, range 18-30 years) and in one longitudinal study (N = 1084; 39.6% females; 32 years old, SD = 10.49, range 18-75 years). To reflect the nature of the revised measure more accurately, it was named the Comprehensive Adversity Measure (CAM). Exploratory factor analysis suggested a one-factor model for both the presence/absence and the severity facet, which both displayed good model fit in subsequent confirmatory factor analyses. Factor models demonstrated at least scalar measurement invariance across gender and country (US/UK). Validity of the CAM was supported by significant correlations with psychological distress, depression, anxiety, substance use, posttraumatic stress symptoms, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, suicide attempts, rumination, social comparison, self-esteem, and quality of life – concurrently and prospectively. Overall, the CAM offers a psychometrically-sound, content-wise comprehensive, and free to use assessment of EA.

“…Anak merupakan kelompok yang paling rentan saat terjadi bencana. Kerentanan ini terjadi karena anak memiliki ketergantungan pada orang dewasa.Respon anak terhadap bencana tergantung pada faktor usia, karakteristik individu, dukungan keluarga dan sosial, tingkat keparahan bencana dan lama waktu peristiwa traumatis (Blanc et al,2020).Anak memiliki risiko lebih terdampak secara psikologis pasca bencana. Beberapa hasil studi mengenai dampak psikologis pada anak pasca bencana gempa bumi menuliskan bahwa 51% anak usia sekolah di Nepal yang berumur 7-16 tahun mengalami post traumatic sindrome disorder (PTSD) (Acharya, Bhatta, & Assannangkornchai,2018).…”

Bencana menyisakan trauma mendalam bagi semua yang mengalaminya. Anak- anak adalah bagian masyarakat yang rentan terhadap efek bencana. Gempa Cianjur November 2022 meluluh-lantakan banyak bangunan termasuk sekolah. Para murid tidak memiliki kegiatan pembelajaran, sehingga anak-anak menghabiskan waktu dengan bermain di tenda pengungsian. Dibutuhkan program pemulihan yang menguatkan mental anak. Tujuan kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah representasi tindakan responsif Yayasan Pendidik Nusa, yaitu bantuan edukasi ‘Sekolah darurat’ yang merupakan salah satu inovasi bagi upaya penyelesaian permasalahan pengembangan sumberdaya pedesaan yang terkena bencana. Tim pengabdian merupakan relawan yang membantu dalam Sekolah Darurat pada lokasi bencana. Program healing yang berdampak mumpuni adalah meningkatkan semangat belajar anak-anak paska gempa agar pulih dari traumanya . Pendirian sekolah darurat oleh Yayasan Perintis Pendidik Nusa dilakukan di 2 kecamatan. Yaitu di desa Suka jaya kecanatan Cugenang Cianjur dan desa Sukawangi kecamatan Warung kondang. Sejumlah 54 siswa di Sukajaya dan 52 siswa di Sukawangi. Kegiatan sekolah darurat selain melibatkan relawan dari luar kota Cianjur juga menggerakan 4 guru lokal untuk ikut mengajar. Pembelajaran dilakukan setiap hari , dilakukan setiap hari karena menguatkan mental para murid.

“…As the frequency of large-scale disasters and emergencies is increasing around the globe, children and adolescents are among the most vulnerable populations for the development of negative mental health consequences. Several studies confirmed that youths exposed to disasters show an increased prevalence of psychological disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety/somatization disorders, substance abuse, and sleep problems [1][2][3][4][5][6]. One of the most common sequelae is represented by PTSD [3,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], with a prevalence in youths ranging between 5% and 60% [15].…”

Parental Internalizing Psychopathology and PTSD in Offspring after the 2012 Earthquake in Italy

et al. 2021

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is common in youths after earthquakes, with parental psychopathology among the most significant predictors. This study investigated the contribution and the interactional effects of parental internalizing psychopathology, the severity of exposure to the earthquake, and past traumatic events to predict PTSD in offspring, also testing the reverse pattern. Two years after the 2012 earthquake in Italy, 843 children and adolescents (9–15 years) living in two differently affected areas were administered a questionnaire on traumatic exposure and the UCLA PTSD Reaction Index. Anxiety, depression, and somatization were assessed in 1162 parents through the SCL-90-R. General linear model showed that, for offspring in the high-impact area, predictors of PTSD were earthquake exposure, past trauma, and parental internalizing symptoms, taken individually. An interaction between earthquake exposure and parental depression or anxiety (not somatization) was also found. In the low-impact area, youth PTSD was only predicted by earthquake exposure. The reverse pattern was significant, with parental psychopathology explained by offspring PTSD. Overall, findings support the association between parental and offspring psychopathology after natural disasters, emphasizing the importance of environmental factors in this relationship. Although further research is needed, these results should be carefully considered when developing mental health interventions.
