ObjectiveHaving a visual impairment is known to be associated with an increased vulnerability to (potentially) traumatic events. Little is known about how people with visual impairment experience and process such events. This qualitative study aimed to provide more insight into experiences with traumatic events, consequences of traumatic events and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)-related care among people with visual impairment and PTSD.MethodsEighteen persons with visual impairment and (a history of) PTSD were interviewed. Among them were 14 women and 4 men aged between 23 and 66 years. Recruitment of participants was done through health professionals from two low-vision service centres and a patient association for people with eye diseases and visual impairment in The Netherlands. Interviews focused on experiences with (1) traumatic events, (2) consequences of traumatic events and (3) PTSD-related care. Thematic content analysis of interview data was performed using ATLAS.ti. The COnsolidated criteria for REporting Qualitative research (COREQ) checklist was used to check for completeness and transparency of the study. Data were collected between 2018 and 2020.ResultsThe most commonly reported traumatic events were sexual and physical abuse. Many participants experienced that their impairment had negatively affected their acceptance by others, independence and self-esteem, increasing their vulnerability for traumatic events. Additionally, having a visual impairment negatively impacted participants’ ability to respond to situations and aggravated post-traumatic stress reactions. Existing treatments seem suitable for people with visual impairment when accommodated to the impairment.ConclusionsHaving a visual impairment may affect traumatic events and post-traumatic stress reactions, particularly by contributing to low self-esteem, problems in social interactions and a lack of visual information. Insights from this study provide starting points for adapting pretraumatic and post-traumatic care to the needs of people with visual impairment.

In this study, linear mixed-effects regression analyses were used to examine whether sociodemographic variables, abuse-related variables, and well-being variables were associated with symptoms of depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in abused women residing in shelters. Results pointed out that symptoms of depression severity were positively associated with migration background and the experience of physical abuse and negatively associated with self-esteem and social support. PTSD symptoms were positively associated with the experience of sexual abuse and negatively associated with self-esteem. Within women’s shelters, staff could be sensitive to improving the social integration of women, especially those with a non-Dutch background, and strengthening the women’s social networks and their self-esteem.

IntroductionMaintaining self-esteem is a fundamental human motivation. Trauma may lower self-esteem, which contributes to the development and maintenance of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).ObjectivesAssessment of self-esteem in Tunisian military patients suffering from PTSD. Study of correlation between the severity of the PTSD symptoms and the rate of self-esteem.MethodsTransversal descriptive study of a sample of 22 patients treated for PTSD in the Tunisian Military Hospital during the period between August and October 2016.The PTSD Cheklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5), Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (HAD), and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were administered for patients.ResultsAll the patients assessed were male. The mean age of the sample was 29.6 years. Fifty percent of the patients presented with a co-morbid major depression. Based on the score of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, patients had a self-esteem, which was very low in 45.45% of case, low in 45.45% of cases, average in 4.54% of cases and high in 4.54% of cases. The results also showed that lower levels of self-esteem are significantly correlated to the severity of the PTSD symptoms as measured by the PCL-5 score.ConclusionsThis study highlights the magnitude of self-esteem deficiency among patients suffering from PTSD. It remains unclear as to whether the relationship between trauma and depression is consistently mediated by a negative cognitive schema, such as low self-esteem, or whether trauma influences mood independently of low self-esteem. Further studies are required.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

We evaluated the level of post-traumatic growth in a large sample of Chinese adolescent earthquake survivors ( n = 5195) and relationships among self-esteem, post-traumatic stress disorder, and post-traumatic growth. This cross-sectional study indicated that the prevalence of post-traumatic growth among adolescent survivors was 14.8 percent. Post-traumatic growth was independently associated with self-esteem, severity of exposures, and avoidance facets of post-traumatic stress disorder. Post-traumatic stress disorder was found to be partially mediated by self-esteem on post-traumatic growth; and post-traumatic stress disorder was also a mediator between earthquake exposure and post-traumatic growth. This study suggests that future longitudinal research and clinical practice should test whether promoting self-esteem can enhance post-traumatic stress disorder treatment.

Abstract Background The aim of the recent study was to evaluate oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and self-esteem (SE) in a group of Syrian children with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) living in war zones and to compare results with healthy controls.Methods A total of 119 children (57 PTSD children vs. 62 healthy controls) aged between 10 and 14 years joined the present study. Child Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Reaction Index (CPTSD-RI) was utilized to confirm the diagnosis of PTSD symptoms. Child Perception Questionnaire (CPQ 11-14 ) was used to study OHRQoL. SE was measured with a subscale of the Child health questionnaire-child form87 (CHQ-CF87). T-tests for independent samples and Chi-square test utilized for in assessing the differences between groups.Results PTSD children had significantly more oral symptoms such as bleeding gums ( p =0.001), mouth and food between teeth ( p =0.000) when compared to healthy controls. They also had more troubles in sleeping ( p =0.019) and chewing hard food ( p =0.001). In addition, PTSD children had significantly ( p =0.000) more difficulty in opening their mouth wide and eating hot or cold food. They felt unsure about their selves ( p =0.009) and felt unsecure about health ( p =0.025) and appearance ( p =0.000). Children with PTSD showed troubles in attention ( p =0.001) and doing homework ( p =0.000). They also avoided both activities ( p =0.001), being around other children ( p =0.007) and even felt left out ( p =0.015) more frequently than healthy peers. SE scores were lower in PTSD children when compared to controls (60.96±18.71 vs. 81.01±11.13 respectively).Conclusions PTSD had negative impact on OHRQoL and SE of war-affected children. More studies are needed to confirm whether improving symptoms of PTSD may lead to better SE and OHRQoL.

SummaryThis study aimed to investigate the psychological disorders following rape as well as the course of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and to determine clinical factors predictive of chronic PTSD. Seventy-three rape victims were observed in a systematic follow-up study over 1 year following rape using structured interview schedules. The frequency of PTSD was massive. The early disorders predicting PTSD 1 year after rape included somatoform and dissociative disorders, agoraphobia and specific phobias as well as depressive and gender identity disorders and alcohol abuse. Through stepwise logistic regressions, the following were found to be good models of prediction of chronic PTSD 1 year after rape: for the characteristics of the traumas, intrafamily rape, being physically assaulted outside rape, and added physical violence during rape; for the early psychological and behavioural attitudes, low self-esteem, permanent feelings of emptiness and running away; and for early mental disorders, agoraphobia and depressive disorders. Finally, among all these predictive factors, added physical violence during rape, low self-esteem, permanent feelings of emptiness and agoraphobia were shown to constitute a strong model of predictors. People presenting features such as the predictive factors of chronic PTSD found in the study should be asked about a history of rape and symptoms of PTSD.

Theoretical Proposal

La infancia se configura como un periodo de alta vulnerabilidad  frente a distintas problemáticas psicosociales como son (1) La insatisfacción con la imagen corporal (2) El Bullying y Ciberbullying (3) El Maltrato hacia los niños (4) El rendimiento académico (6) Las adicciones (7) El trabajo en los niños (Simkin, Azzollini, & Voloschin, 2014). Estas problemáticas, según distintos estudios, se encuentran estrechamente vinculadas a la formación de la Autoestima.  Al  tiempo que se observan relaciones entre estas, la Centralidad de los Eventos Traumáticos y el surgimiento de síntomas de Trastorno por  estrés postraumático y depresión. Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica en distintas  bases de datos como  Scielo, Latindex, Redalyc, PubMed, entre otras, con el  objetivo de integrar los resultados de las investigaciones que asocian tales  problemáticas a la autoestima en la niñez, atendiendo especialmente a la centralidad de los eventos como mediador del surgimiento de síntomas de  estrés postraumático en la adultez, en el marco del Modelo y la Teoría de los Cinco Factores de la personalidad  y la espiritualidad considerada  como un sexto factor de la personalidad. Los resultados permiten concluir que el FFM y el FFT, tomando a la  espiritualidad como un sexto factor constituyen una propuesta teórica  robusta que facilitaría la posibilidad de comprender las relaciones entre los constructos mencionados. AbstractChildhood is configured as a period of high vulnerability to various psychosocial problems such as (1) Dissatisfaction with body image (2) Bullying and Cyberbullying (3) Child abuse (4) Academic performance (6) Addictions (7) Work in children (Simkin, Azzollini, & Voloschin, 2014). These problems, according to different studies, are inextricably linked to the formation of Self-esteem. At the same time, there are relationships between these, the Centrality of Traumatic Events and the emergence of symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and depression. A literature review was carried out in different databases such as Scielo, Latindex, Redalyc, PubMed, among others, with the aim of integrating the results of research that associate such problems with self-esteem in childhood, paying particular attention to the centrality of events as a mediator of the emergence of symptoms of post-traumatic stress in adulthood, within the framework of the Model and Theory of the Five Factors of personality and spirituality considered as a sixth factor of personality. The results allow us to conclude that the FFM and the FFT, taking spirituality as a sixth factor constitute a robust theoretical proposal that would facilitate the possibility of understanding the relationships between the aforementioned constructs.
