“…L'IES a été utilisé dans de nombreuses études afin d'évaluer la présence de manifestations post-traumatiques conséquentes à un désastre (Benight & Harper, 1997;Cair et al, 1997;Chung, Werret, Farmer, Easthope, & Chung, 2000;Ticehurst et al, 1996). Celui-ci contient 15 items mesurant la présence des symptômes d'intrusion et d'évitement à la suite de situations traumatiques ainsi que la fréquence des symptômes associés ressentis par les répondants au cours de la semaine précédente.…”

Objectives:Research was conducted examining how death anxiety influenced PTSD and mental health among people who have experienced a lifethreatening event.Design & Methods:This study was conducted using undergraduate university students in Lithuania. The study used a mixed-method design and in phase 1, participants (N=97) completed self-report questionnaires that gathered information on demographics, death anxiety, trauma and well-being. Results:Data indicated a significant correlation between death anxiety and PTSD, but not psychiatric co-morbidity. Phase 2 attempted to further explore the phenomenological experience of participants with full PTSD, and 6 semi-structured interviews were conducted. IPA analysis found three major themes in response to the life-threatening event;self-efficacy, religious coping and existential attitude. Conclusion:Overall these coping mechanisms allowed participants to develop resilience against the effects of death anxiety and minimize its negative impact on mental health.

“…Participants were also asked to indicate the extent of loss of personal belongings, including own home (0 = not at all, 1 = a little bit, 2 = a lot, 3 = all of it) and the number of floods experienced in their lifetime. These questions were adopted from questionnaires used in previous disaster studies and adapted for the current study (e.g., Chung, Werrett, Farmer, Easthope, & Chung, 2000;Freh, Chung & Dallos, 2013).…”

This study investigated the extent of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and psychiatric comorbidity among the 2010 flood victims in Pakistan and its relationship with disaster exposure characteristics, cognitive distortions, and emotional suppression. One hundred and thirty-one (F = 89, M = 42) flood victims were assessed using the Posttraumatic Diagnostic Scale, the General Health Questionnaire-28, the Cognitive Distortion Scales, and the Courtauld Emotional Control Scale. The results showed that all victims met the diagnostic criteria for PTSD and scored above the cut-off for psychiatric caseness. Partial least squares modelling showed that disaster exposure characteristics were significantly correlated with PTSD and psychiatric comorbidity. Disaster exposure characteristics were also significantly associated with cognitive distortions which in turn were also significantly associated with PTSD and psychiatric comorbidity. Cognitive distortions were also correlated with emotional suppression which, however, was not associated with PTSD or psychiatric comorbidity. To conclude, the flood victims reported PTSD and psychiatric comorbid symptoms which were related to their subjective exposure to the flood. Such exposure led to the development of dysfunctional thinking patterns which in turn influenced distress symptoms.
