“…However, the moderating role of received support was contingent on gender, actor‐partner differentiation, and the time of assessment.15. McBride et al () Examined risk factors for the onset of and chronic PTSD among disaster ‘frontline’ workers (that is, first responders and non‐traditional providers, such as teachers).Events: Canterbury earthquake, September 2010; Christchurch earthquake, February 2011 Country: New Zealand Age: adults (range: 21–61+) Sample size: 140 (disaster site) and 86 (comparison site) Sampling: non‐random Diversity: 59 per cent female; 93 per cent New Zealand EuropeanDesign: longitudinal Time: 6, 12, and 18 months after Support measures: received support (several items; scale‐based); perceived support (24 items; scale‐based)Analyses that accounted for covariates showed that respondents with high PTSD score (PCL‐C≥30) at T1 received more social support ( support mobilisation‐relative needs ). The high PTSD group also perceived more social support.…”

This scoping review provides a summary of research findings on social support dynamics in the wake of disasters that occurred on the continent of Australia and Oceania between 1983 and 2013. Forty‐one studies, quantitative and qualitative, were summarised, investigating different facets of post‐disaster supportive interactions. All inquiries assessed disasters resulting from natural hazards, with the majority of them conducted following events in Australia and New Zealand. The review revealed similar patterns of post‐disaster social support dynamics that routinely unfold after disastrous incidents all over the world. Consistent with the disaster mental health literature, the documentation of social support mobilisation and social support deterioration processes was common. Salutary direct effects of supportive behaviours on post‐disaster psychological distress were also highly evident. Most studies, however, posed research questions or hypotheses that lacked empirical or theoretical grounding. In conclusion, the review offers several recommendations on how to advance research on post‐disaster social support.

“…In fact, some studies have also found three (Pietrzak, Van Ness, Fried, Galea, & Norris, 2013;Self-Brown, Lai, Harbin, & Kelley, 2014) and six (Lowe & Rhodes, 2013) trajectories following a Hurricane, although most 286trajectories followed one of the four original trajectories, suggesting a robust findings of the trajectories following a Hurricane. These patterns were consistent after other traumatic events, such as an earthquake (Chen et al, 2020;McBride et al, 2018;Sakuma et al, 2020) and human-made disasters (Adams, Allwood, & Bowler, 2019;Hobfoll et al, 2009). In a recent review examining the consistency of PTSS trajectories across 54 studies, the original four trajectories were found to be a robust response following various types of adversity (Galatzer-Levy, Huang, & Bonanno, 2018).…”

Studies examining the association between personal growth initiative (PGI) and post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) have often utilized cross-sectional research designs, and as a result, the changes in the levels of PGI and its association with the trajectory of PTSS remain unclear. The current study aimed to (1) explore the different trajectories in both PGI and PTSS and (2) examine the associations of the identified trajectories between PGI and PTSS among individuals. The final sample were 419 adults who were physically residing in the area when Hurricane Harvey made landfall on 26 August 2017. The initial data collection occurred approximately 16 months after the Hurricane, and participants were asked to participate again after 1-and 3-month later. A result from the latent growth mixture modeling revealed that for PGI, the 4-class model was the best-fitting model, and for PTSS, the 3-class model was the best-fitting model. When examining the association between the trajectories of PGI and PSS, individuals classified to higher PGI subgroups were more likely to be associated with the Recovery PTSS subgroup. The current study suggests that disaster survivors with higher PGI were more likely to recover from PTSS, raising an importance of incorporating PGI to alleviate future PTSS. K E Y W O R D Slatent growth mixture modeling, natural disaster, personal growth initiative, post-traumatic stress symptoms, trajectories | INTRODUCTIONAfter a disaster, experiencing psychopathology is not uncommon where the prevalence rate of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) typically range from 5% to 40% (Goldmann & Galea, 2014). Although a prevalence rate of PTSD is typically higher following human-made disasters, which can range from 25% to 75% (Galea, Nandi, & Vlahov, 2005) and the odds of PTSD were found to be significantly higher after human-made disasters than natural disasters (Bromet et al., 2017), research has also shown that it is not uncommon for the survivors of a large-scale Hurricane to experience post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS; DeSalvo et al., 2007). Furthermore, factors such as proximity of the disaster, greater intense exposure and experiencing ongoing stressors (e.g., property damage and displacement) can also influence mental health outcomes (Goldmann & Galea, 2014). These statistics increase the importance of examining the mental health following a natural disaster, which can influence millions of people.Although the prevalence of PTSD and its symptoms may be high, studies have also shown that some are more resilient than others, experiencing lower PTSS (Bonanno, 2004). In examining a potential protective factor against PTSS, researchers have explored the role of personal growth initiative (PGI;Robitschek et al., 2012) in the aftermath of a traumatic event (Blackie, Jayawickreme, Forgeard, &

“…Los síntomas inician dentro de los primeros tres meses, aunque puede también tomar un mayor tiempo, a este fenómeno se le denomina "expresión retrasada", la presencia de los síntomas suele variar en intensidad y frecuencia a lo largo del tiempo, por lo que será responsabilidad del psicólogo observar cada uno de los cambios que presenta el paciente en el curso del trastorno. En la Tabla 1.3. se pueden observar los factores de riesgo asociados con el TEPT, así como su clasificación (Loo et al, 2016;McBride et al, 2018).…”

“…Si bien, es cierto que la reacción psicológica derivada de un evento traumático que culmina en la presentación de un TEPT depende, entre otras variables, de la intensidad del trauma, de las circunstancias del suceso y de los factores pretraumáticos, peritraumáticos y postraumáticos, existen algunos factores que reducen la vulnerabilidad para presentar este trastorno y funcionan como protectores para el adecuado afrontamiento del suceso traumático (McBride et al, 2018;San Juan, 2001). Algunos de los elementos que interactúan y configuran un sistema de protección para presentar en el TEPT se muestran en la Tabla 1.4.…”
