“…Self-compassion is considered as a healthy and alternative response to trauma (Germer & Neff, 2015). Various studies in the literature (Bluth et al, 2022;Chan et al, 2019;Çağlar, 2018;Liu et al, 2021;Nabilah & Kusristanti, 2021;Özdemir et al, 2022;Scoglio et al, 2018;Sperandio et al, 2021;Wong & Yeung, 2017) also support this view. From this point of view, in the present study, it has been emphasized that self-compassion can enable the person to approach the feelings and thoughts that arise after the traumatic event in a balanced and calm way, and make it possible to experience post-traumatic growth.…”

Bu çalışmanın amacı, yas yaşantısı olan bireylerin duygusal şemalarının ve öz anlayış düzeylerinin travma sonrası büyüme düzeylerini etkileme gücünün incelenmesidir. Araştırmaya 2021-2022 yılları arasında Türkiye'de bulunan ve daha önce bir yakınını kaybettiğini ifade eden 307 kişi katılmıştır. Çalışmada katılımcılardan istenilen verilerin toplanması amacıyla "Demografik Bilgi Formu", "Leahy Duygusal Şema Ölçeği", "Öz Anlayış Ölçeği" ve "Travma Sonrası Büyüme Ölçeği" kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada ilişkisel tarama modelinden yararlanılmıştır. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koymak amacıyla Pearson Momentler Çarpım Korelasyon Katsayısı; duygusal şemaların ve öz anlayışın travma sonrası büyüme üzerindeki yordayıcı etkisini belirlemek amacıyla regresyon analizi tekniğinden yararlanılmıştır. Korelasyon analizinin sonuçlarına göre; duygusal şemalar, öz anlayış ve travma sonrası büyüme arasında anlamlı ilişkiler ortaya çıkmıştır. Değişkenler arasındaki yordayıcı ilişkilere yönelik bulgular, ilgili literatür ışığında tartışılmış ve önerilere yer verilmiştir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Yas, travma sonrası büyüme, duygusal şemalar, öz anlayış.

“…For example, this study found that individuals with substance-involved trauma engage in high levels of avoidance. They may also be more likely to experience self-blame or other unique trauma-related cognitions (Peter-Hagene & Ullman, 2018) and less self-compassion (Sperandio et al, 2021; Strickland et al, 2019, 2022). As such, interventions that encourage exposure to avoid trauma cues and promote the processing of trauma may offer more effective treatment outcomes in this population (Jaffe et al, 2021).…”

Following exposure to a potentially traumatic event (PTE), some individuals experience negative mental health outcomes such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety. Substance-involved trauma-substance use that occurs immediately before or during a PTE-may confer a unique risk for these complications. Yet, current research on the role of substance use in response to PTEs is sparse, and the existing literature has focused predominantly on alcohol-involved sexual assault. The present study examined associations among substance-involved trauma and poorer mental health functioning with the following aims: (a) descriptively characterize substance-involved trauma in a college sample and (b) examine the effect of substance-involved trauma on PTSD, depression, and anxiety symptoms. Trauma-exposed college students (N = 194) completed a structured clinical interview and self-report questionnaires. Findings revealed that 43% of the sample reported exposure to at least one substance-involved traumatic event in their lifetime. Notably, 86% of traumas were interpersonal (e.g., sexual trauma, physical assault). A history of substanceinvolved trauma was associated with heavier and more problematic drinking, more severe PTSD and anxiety symptoms, but not more severe depressive symptoms, compared to those without substance-involved trauma. Results of this study suggest that substance involvement during trauma is prevalent and contributes to harmful psychological and behavioral outcomes. These findings point to the potential value of eliciting information on substance use proximal to PTE exposure and incorporating this information into individualized treatment plans to enhance clinical care efforts. Future research should assess and include information about substance use in PTEs when modeling trauma outcomes.

“…Research on sudden and unnatural deaths has highlighted that such a death can have severe, serious, and long-lasting consequences for the closely bereaved, including complicated grief reactions such as prolonged grief disorder, mental health problems, physical illness, and social isolation (Djelantik et al, 2020; Kristensen et al, 2012; Stroebe et al, 2017). Key factors in coping with grief are meaning-making (Neimeyer, 2000; Valentine, 2019), the interaction between the construction of hope, self-compassion, and posttraumatic growth (Morris et al, 2021; Sperandio et al, 2021), and relational support (Dyregrov & Dyregrov, 2008; Kalsås et al, 2023).…”

Drug-related deaths (DRDs) are a major societal challenge. People who use drugs are at particular risk of witnessing DRDs, and of losing people close to them to a DRD, and experiencing an overdose or other health issues themselves. People who experience sudden, unexpected, and stigmatized deaths, such as DRDs, are found to struggle more afterward than when the death is more natural and expected. Additionally, people who use drugs are more likely to experience a complicated grieving process following the loss of someone. Despite this, knowledge about the connections between a person's own drug use and reaction following bereavement from a DRD is scarce. This article makes a start at filling this knowledge gap. Based on interviews with people who used drugs and were bereaved following DRDs, the article explores how the bereaved spoke about the relationship between their drug use and losing a close friend or intimate partner to a DRD. We present four types of stories about the relationship between grief following DRDs and drug use. Informed by the Dual Process Model of Coping with Bereavement, we discuss the stories and highlight how drug use is used to handle emotional overload, how drug use leads to uncommon expressions of grief, and how the relationship between grief and drug use may lead to an avoidance of the reality of loss. We point out that drug use and grief are strongly intertwined and how stigma associated with DRDs and drug use creates obstacles to openness and relating to social networks in support processes.
