“…The results of this study are also similar to those of other studies showing that coping mediates the relationship between stress exposure and longer term psychological sequelae like posttraumatic stress in general (e.g., Menard & Arter, 2013), and in the context of natural disasters in particular (e.g., Benight & Harper, 2002;Bosmans, Benight, Knaap, Winkel, & Velden, 2013;Bosmans & van der Velden, 2015).…”

This thesis investigates the relationship between different aspects of disasterrelated prenatal maternal stress and child motor development, explores how stress reactions work together to predict motor development, and proposes a cascade of stress reactions as a psychological mechanism of transmission for the effects of prenatal maternal stress. It examines continuity and change in findings between 16 and 30 months and, finally, looks at whether maternal coping predicts child motor development.At recruitment, mothers (N = 224) exposed to a major flood during pregnancy completed questionnaires assessing flood exposure (QFOSS), peritraumatic distress (PDI) and dissociation (PDEQ), posttraumatic stress (IESR), a cognitive appraisal of the overall flood consequences, and coping (BriefCOPE). At 16 months (N = 145) and 30

“…To date, studies have not focussed on police officers as victims of hate crime. Rather, when researching police officers as victims, the literature has tended to focus on the equipment and training aspects of officer safety (Stokstad, 2000;White, 2014) and the post-incident stresses and traumas of policing (Anderson et al, 2002;Ménard and Arter, 2013).…”

Background: In police officers, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with alcohol use disorder (AUD), but we lack data on the association between PTSD and other substance-related and addictive disorders. Objectives: We assessed whether PTSD could be a risk factor for different substance-related and addictive disorders in police officers, including alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, and gambling. Method: This cross-sectional study included all police officers admitted consecutively for alcohol to an inpatient ward dedicated to police officers (Le Courbat rehabilitation center, France; n= 133). Each patient completed self-administered questionnaires that assessed lifetime exposure to potentially traumatic events (Life Event Checklist for DSM-5), PTSD severity and diagnosis (PTSD Checklist for DSM-5), AUD severity (Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test [AUDIT]), tobacco dependence (Fagerström test for Nicotine Dependence), cannabis dependence (Cannabis Abuse Screening test), and gambling disorder (Canadian Problem Gambling Index). Results: Mean AUDIT score was 23.7 ± 8.0; 66.2% had an AUDIT score ≥20. Our sample comprised a high prevalence for PTSD (38.3%) and for substance-related and addictive disorders: tobacco dependence (68.4%), cannabis dependence (3.8%), and pathological gambling (3%). Patients with PTSD experienced higher lifetime exposure to traumatic experiences: physical assault, severe human suffering, sudden accidental death of another person, and other types of stressful events/experiences. In multiple linear regressions adjusted for age, sex, and marital status, PTSD was a significant predictor of the severity of AUD and tobacco use disorder, but not of the severity of cannabis use disorder nor gambling disorder. Conclusions: PTSD is common in police officers hospitalized for alcohol and associated with a higher severity of some addictive disorders (alcohol/tobacco). PTSD and its comorbid addictive disorders should be systematically screened and treated in this population.
