“…Although significant negative associations of common mental disorders (including PTSD) with employment have been documented in epidemiological research [13], we did not find an association between partial PTSD and parents work situation or sick leave five years after end-of-treatment or a child's death. However, this lack of association may be due to the limited sample size.…”

“…Five years following end of ST or a child's death, 19% and 8% of mothers and fathers of survivors, and 20% and 35% of bereaved mothers and fathers, report at least partial PTSD, with mothers and bereaved parents at particular risk for post-traumatic stress symptoms [12]. Partial PTSD or sub-syndromal PTSD have been associated with comorbid psychiatric symptoms almost to the same extent as full PTSD and is an important diagnostic entity in populations exposed to serious illness [13]. In addition, a negative association between psychiatric disorders, including PTSD, and being employed has been documented in epidemiological studies [14].…”

Parents of children diagnosed with cancer: work situation and sick leave, a five-year post end-of-treatment or a child’s death follow-up study

et al. 2016

Background: Cancer in a child is associated with a significant impact on parental employment. We assessed the proportions of parents of survivors and bereaved parents working and reporting sick leave five years after end of successful treatment (ST)/child's death (T7) compared with one year after end of ST/child's death (T6) and the association between partial post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and work situation and sick leave at T7. Participants and procedure: The sample included 152 parents of survivors (77 mothers, 75 fathers) and 42 bereaved parents (22 mothers, 20 fathers) of children diagnosed with cancer in Sweden. Results: The proportions of parents working or reporting sick leave did not differ among mothers and fathers of survivors (92% vs. 96% working, 20% vs. 18% on sick leave) or among bereaved mothers and fathers (91% vs. 90% working, 14% vs. 20% on sick leave) at T7. There was no change from T6 to T7 in the proportion of fathers working (fathers of survivors 91% vs. 96%, bereaved fathers 95% vs. 90%). Although more mothers of survivors (92% vs. 82%) and bereaved mothers (91% vs. 77%) worked at T7 than at T6, this increase was not significant. Fewer bereaved mothers reported sick leave at T7 than at T6 (14% vs. 59%, p < 0.05). Although more fathers reported sick leave at T7 than at T6 (fathers of survivors 18% vs. 8%, bereaved fathers 20% vs. 15%), this was not significant. Partial PTSD was not associated with parents' work situation or sick leave at T7. Conclusion: Results suggest little adverse effect on work situation and sick leave among parents of survivors and bereaved parents five years after end of ST/child's death from cancer. However, the pattern of change observed differed between parents, which could potentially indicate possible delayed consequences for fathers not captured in the present paper.

“…The present study was not designed to draw conclusions about causality, and therefore we can only tentatively interpret the findings. However, the findings may be understood in view of the clinical profile of partial PTSD, including psychosocial dysfunction [13] with negative effects on one's ability and willingness to involve in social activities. Accordingly, parents with partial PTSD may be unable to fulfill work commitments and/or engage in leisure activities.…”

“…If symptoms are not relieved, the reactions can develop into full or partial PTSD. Partial PTSD is a condition with clinically significant PTSD symptoms, which do not meet full criteria for PTSD [13]. The criteria for partial PTSD are at least one symptom of reexperiencing, avoidance and hyperarousal, respectively [14], and partial PTSD is associated with comorbid psychiatric symptoms almost to the same extent as full PTSD [13].…”

Impact of a child’s cancer disease on parents’ everyday life: a longitudinal study from Sweden

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: A child's cancer disease may disrupt the daily life of the affected family for a long period. The aim was to describe restrictions on parents' leisure activities and work/studies during and after the child's treatment. Methods: This study used data from a cohort of mothers and fathers (n ¼ 246) of children diagnosed with cancer. Data was collected five times from two months after diagnosis to one year after end of treatment. Reports of restrictions were evaluated over time, between mothers and fathers, and in relation to parent-reported child symptom burden (The Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale) and partial post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (The PTSD Checklist-Civilian Version). Results: Two (51%) and four (45%) months after diagnosis, about half reported that their leisure activities were restricted at least some of the time. Corresponding percentages for restrictions on work/ studies were 84% and 77%. One year after end of treatment, the great majority reported that their leisure activities (91%) and/or work/studies (76%) were never/seldom restricted. During treatment, more mothers than fathers reported restrictions on work/studies all/most of the time. After end of treatment, gender was only related to reports of restrictions among parents not reporting partial PTSD. More parents who reported being restricted all/most of the time also reported partial PTSD and/or a greater symptom burden for the child. Conclusion: Parents report frequent restrictions on everyday life during treatment. One year after end of treatment, parents report only a limited impact of the child's cancer on their leisure activities and work/studies. More parents who report restrictions also report partial PTSD and/or a greater child symptom burden. The effect of gender on restrictions varies depending on reports of partial PTSD. Future studies of gender differences regarding the impact of a child's cancer on parents' everyday life should thus consider mothers' and fathers' level of psychological distress.

“…Populations affected by terrorism, war and one-sided violence also suffer from high rates of a variety of physical diseases (Levy and Sidel, 2003;Schnurr and Green, 2004;WHO, 2006b) and mental illnesses including depressive disorders (de Jong et al, 2007;Levy and Sidel, 2007;Priebe et al, 2010) psychotic disorders (Jones et al, 2009), and anxiety disorders, especially post-traumatic stress disorder (DiMaggio and Galea, 2006;Murthy, 2007;Pederson, 2002), disorders that have been shown to be highly comorbid with substance use disorders (Compton et al, 2007;Hasin et al, 2007;Pietrzak et al, 2011;Schnurr and Green, 2004). …”

The purpose of this dissertation was to examine relationships between terrorism, civil war This dissertation research highlighted the need to expand the traditional focus of intervention for communicable diseases among conflict-affected populations to include a variety of noncommunicable diseases (Paper 1). Results underscore the need for international government and nongovernment organizations to prioritize high risk areas for diarrheal and related disease control to include conflict-affected populations with particular attention to young children who are most vulnerable to these diseases (Paper 2). That terrorism and related violence influence diarrheal and related diseases in the longer-term suggests that control strategies should move beyond short-term provisions for safe water and adequate sanitation to seek solutions through health systems infrastructure development. Greater attention should also be given to the prevention and treatment of substance use disorders in conflict-affected populations including brief interventions targeted at high risk substance users, provisions for needles and syringes and management of withdrawal and other acute substance-related conditions (Paper 3).Strengthening substance abuse treatment systems among conflict-affected populations will be critical in identifying and treating of a variety of physical and psychiatric disorders that are often comorbid with substance use disorders. Taken together, this research has served to highlight the full health costs of terrorism, civil war and one-sided violence will ultimately contribute to forging a stronger rationale for promoting peace.
