Sufficiency Economy Philosophy

This cross-sectional survey assessed the association between post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms and perceived self-sufficiency, reflecting the Sufficiency Economy Philosophy (SEP), conceived by H.M. King Bhumibol Adulyadej (King Rama IX). It was conducted among university students on one campus located within the area affected by the Southern Thailand insurgency and another campus located in a nearby province outside of the restive area. All self-administered questionnaires consisted of questions related to personal information, the Thai version of the PTSD checklist, and a questionnaire aimed at measuring the perceived self-sufficiency according to H.M. King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s SEP. The study found that most university students in the restive area affected by the Southern Thailand insurgency perceived to live sufficiently according to H.M. King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s SEP. The rate of perceived self-sufficiency was also higher than reported by the students from the other campus in a nearby province. Moreover, self-sufficiency exhibited a significant inverse association with PTSD symptoms.

Young people with autism are often bullied at school, a potential direct correlate of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This may be compounded by their difficulties in social interaction. Alternately, some of these young people may develop ‘coping strategies’ against bullying that may have an inverse association with PTSD. As a vulnerable population for PTSD, a sample of 71 young males with autism were surveyed for their self-reported experiences of being bullied at school, their coping strategies for dealing with this bullying, and their own evaluations of the severity of two of the key diagnostic criteria for PTSD. Their mothers also provided a rating of the severity of the three major diagnostic criteria for autism for these boys. Over 80% of this sample had been bullied, and there was a significant direct correlation between this and PTSD score, and between their mother-rated severity of the boys’ social interaction difficulties, but also a significant inverse correlation between their coping strategies and PTSD score. There were differences in these relationships according to whether the boys attended elementary or secondary school. These findings hold implications for the identification, assessment and support of autistic youth at risk of PTSD.

Abstract Background Refugees are forced migrants but there is a large variation in the distance that refugees cover. Previous studies suggest an inverse association between long-distance migration and self-reported health in the general population but there is a knowledge gap in the health effects of migration in refugee populations. Here, we estimate the association between long-distance migration and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a severe mental health disorder associated with deteriorating mental and somatic health. Methods Included were 712 adult Syrian refugees and asylum seekers newly arrived in Lebanon and Denmark. PTSD was assessed using the Harvard Trauma Questionnaire, confounding was handled by propensity score-weighting with covariates age, sex, socioeconomic status, trauma experience, and WHO-5-score after multiply imputing missing data, and the 95-percentile confidence interval (CI) was computed by bootstrapping. Results The prevalence of PTSD was high in both Lebanon (55%) and Denmark (60%). After adjusting for biases the prevalence difference increased to 9 percentage point (95-percentile CI: [-1; 19] percentage point). All sensitivity analysis produced estimates of the same magnitude and direction, except when grossly violating the assumption of multiple imputation which halved the magnitude of the association. Conclusions Long-distance migration was associated with an estimated 87 additional cases of PTSD for every 1000 Syrian refugees. This is a first step in examining the effects of migration in refugee health. Key messages Long-distance migration was positively associated with prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder in Syrian refugees.
