“…Hence, this group may still suffer from mental health problems related to the traumatic WWII experience 50 years after the end of the war [ 82 ]. Traumatic events, especially war related, are highly connected to depressive symptoms [ 83 , 84 ]. Furthermore, people from the birth cohorts 1946–1959 and 1960–1969 showed lower mental distress compared to people from the oldest birth cohort.…”

Purpose Mental distress has become a major public health concern. Temporal trends in psychological distress are complex and depend on numerous factors. In this study, we examined age-period-cohort effects for mental distress including gender and German region over a 15 years’ time span. Methods Data on mental distress from ten cross-sectional surveys of the general German population, covering the years from 2006 to 2021, was used. Hierarchical age-period-cohort analyses including gender and German region as predictors were performed to disentangle age, period, and cohort effects. The Patient Health Questionnaire-4 was used as a brief screener for mental distress. Results We found significant period and cohort effects, with peek values for mental distress in the years 2017 and 2020 and for the oldest birth cohort (born before 1946). Age did not affect mental distress when cohort- and period effects as well as gender and German region were considered. An interaction effect for gender and the German region was found. Women in West Germany reported significantly higher mental distress compared to women in East Germany. Compared to men, women reported the highest prevalence in both regions. Conclusion Important political events as well as major crises can lead to an increase of mental distress in societies. Furthermore, an association between birth cohort and mental distress could be linked to socialization effects of that certain time, causing traumatic experiences or a specific coping style within this cohort group. Prevention and intervention strategies could benefit from acknowledging structural differences linked to period and cohort effects.

“…Experiencing potentially traumatic events (PTEs) have been associated with poor mental and physical health (Agorastos et al, 2014;Del Gaizo, Elhai, & Weaver, 2011;Glaesmer, 2014;Löwe et al, 2011;Park, Hong, Jeon, Seong, & Cho, 2015), functional impairment (Löwe et al, 2011) and increased engagement in health-risk-taking behaviours (Del Gaizo et al, 2011). Previous studies have shown that a large proportion of adults have been exposed to at least one PTE over their lifetime (estimates ranging from 21% to 90%) (Amstadter, Aggen, Knudsen, Reichborn-Kjennerud, & Kendler, 2013;Benjet et al, 2016;Hepp et al, 2006;Kilpatrick et al, 2013;Netto et al, 2013;Perkonigg, Kessler, Storz, & Wittchen, 2000).…”

Background and objective : The aims of this study were to estimate the lifetime and 12-month prevalence of exposure to potentially traumatic events (PTEs) in young men in Switzerland and to assess factors and mental health outcomes associated with such events. Method : Data were drawn from the Cohort Study on Substance Use Risk Factors (C-SURF), encompassing 5,223 young men. Exposure to PTEs was assessed using the Post-traumatic Diagnostic Scale (PDS), Trauma History Questionnaire (THQ) and Life Event Checklist (LEC). Results : Lifetime prevalence of PTEs was 59.4%, with 37.3% reporting multiple types of events. Twelve-month prevalence was 31.2%, with 12.7% reporting multiple types of events. Low education level of participants, high maternal education, family affluence below average, and not living with biological parents were associated with a higher risk of having experienced one or more PTEs in one’s lifetime. Low education level of participants and high maternal education were also related to exposure to one or more PTEs over the past 12 months. Logistic regression analyses demonstrated that PTE exposure was directly associated with all assessed mental health outcomes. The strongest relationship was found between exposure to multiple types of PTEs and suicide attempts (adjusted OR 4.9 [95% CI: 2.9–8.4]). Conclusions : These results indicate that having experienced one or multiple types of PTEs is common in Swiss young men. Efforts should be intensified to reduce exposure to PTEs and prevent and treat resulting problematic mental health outcomes in young adults.

ZusammenfassungDieser Teil widmet sich einer ausführlichen Darstellung der Situation mehrsprachiger Pflegebedürftiger in Deutschland. Dafür soll zunächst ein Einblick in demografische Zahlen die Relevanz und auch zugleich die Heterogenität der Gruppe verdeutlichen. Im Anschluss werden besondere Bedarfe herausgearbeitet, die dann zu einer genaueren Darstellung der (sprachlichen) Situation mehrsprachiger Menschen in deutschsprachigen Pflegeheimen überführen. Anhand von drei Fallbeispielen werden unterschiedliche sprachliche Konstellationen beschrieben, wobei ein besonderes Augenmerk auf die Folgen der sprachlichen Situation für die Pflegebedürftigen gelegt wird.
