The work is devoted to solving the problems of definition, etiology and pathogenesis of primary diagnostics of posttraumatic stress disorder in combatants of the antiterrorist operation, who had rehabilitation in sanatorium and resort conditions. As a result of the study, the positive impact of hyppotherapy on the psychological state of combatants in the antiterrorist operation was shown, which was applied on the basis of the Psychosocial Rehabilitation Center Feldman Ecopark in sanatorium and resort conditions with medical and psychological rehabilitation. The main groups (clusters) of neurotic, pathopersonological and psychopathological manifestations in this contingent of patients are identified. The study also showed that the testees experienced childhood sexual abuse (or forcing entry into sexual relations with someone from the immediate environment of the child) correlated with higher levels of both depressive and anxiety symptoms later in adulthood. Premorbid personality characteristics of patients with posttraumatic stress disorder are heterogeneous. Although people in natural conditions that provoke anxiety are especially likely to develop post-traumatic stress disorder, these disorders often arise in obsessive, dependent and even schizoid personality type. However, it would be logical to expect that those individuals accessed via the questionnaire with higher level of neuroticism (or «big anxiety») are more likely to develop symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder than those of phlegmatic temperament.

Multiple studies have associated post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with variable and high rates of smoking documented in different populations. This article will cover the neurobiology behind tobacco use, and its implications in those with PTSD. Discussion on cessation programs (e.g., effectiveness, drug interactions), and controversy over the use of varenicline will also be discussed.

Exposure to psychological trauma is sometimes followed by significant emotional and behavioral changes that constitute post-traumatic stress reactions, including Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Neurocognitive decrements constitute one of the core features of PTSD, and a growing literature has identified specific patterns of neurocognitive compromise and related neurobiological features. This chapter provides an overview of neurocognitive features of PTSD, including performance on both standardized, emotionally neutral neuropsychological tasks and information processing abnormalities in the context of emotionally relevant stimuli. Direction of causality is also discussed, namely whether neurocognitive integrity is a moderator of psychological outcomes following trauma exposure and/or whether neurocognition is adversely affected by PTSD development. The chapter also includes a review of associated biological features potentially underlying expressed neurocognitive features, including neuroimaging findings, neurotransmitter and neuroendocrine characteristics, and genetic and epigenetic factors. In addition, it provides a brief overview of some of the major theoretical frameworks relevant to cognitive processes as a mechanism for PTSD development and maintenance. Finally, the chapter addresses the relationship of neurocognitive functioning to treatment, both as a predictor of treatment response and as an outcome of treatment.

The Greek version of the Davidson Trauma Scale (DTS) was developed to respond to the need of Greek-speaking individuals. The translated questionnaire was administered to 128 HIV outpatients (aged 37.1±9.1) and 166 control patients (aged 32.4±13.4). In addition to the DTS Greek scale, subjects were assessed with two other scales useful for assessing validity. For each factor analyses two components were extracted, based on Cattell's scree test. The two components solution accounted for 55.34% of the total variation in case of frequency variables and 61.45% in case of severity variables. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient and Guttman split-half coefficient of the DTS scale were 0.93 and 0.88 respectively. The test-retest reliability of the Greek version of DTS scale proved to be satisfactory. Individual items had good intra-class correlation coefficients higher than 0.5, which means that all questions have high levels of external validity. The psychometric strength of interview for post-traumatic stress disorder-Greek version it's reliable for its future use, particularly for screening subjects with possible diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder.

Gangguan kecemasan yang mungkin terjadi setelah mengalami atau menyaksikan peristiwa traumatis disebut gangguan stres pascatrauma (PTSD). Peristiwa traumatis termasuk pelecehan atau pelecehan fisik atau seksual, cedera, kekerasan, kecelakaan di jalan, trauma perang, luka bakar parah dan bencana. Hingga 18 judul topik, pencarian kata kunci dan sumber dari Google Scholar dan National Center for Biotechnology Information/NCBI dilakukan di portal online publikasi jurnal, dengan kata kunci PTSD. PTSD didefinisikan sebagai "peristiwa traumatis yang dialami atau disaksikan secara langsung oleh seseorang berupa kematian atau ancaman kematian, cedera serius, atau ancaman terhadap integritas fisik seseorang. Menurut data dari National Center for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, setiap 100 orang Sekitar 7 atau 8 orang akan mengalami gangguan stres pasca-trauma pada tahap tertentu dalam hidup mereka Intervensi dan pengobatan dini dapat meminimalkan dampak sosial dan emosional dari paparan anak-anak terhadap peristiwa traumatis. PTSD umumnya dapat disembuhkan jika dapat segera dideteksi dan diobati dengan benar. Jika tidak terdeteksi dan diobati tepat waktu, dapat menyebabkan komplikasi medis dan psikologis yang serius dan permanen, yang pada akhirnya akan mengganggu kehidupan sosial anak di masa depan

Context: A stroke is a brain attack, and a major global health problem not merely affects a person physically but also emotionally. Psychosocial well-being is frequently threatened following a stroke. The improvement of the psychological status of stroke patients is essential to stroke management and recovery. Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the effect of the psychoeducational program on psychological distress and posttraumatic stress disorder among stroke survivors' patients. Methods: A quasi-experimental study design (one group pre/posttest) was utilized to achieve the aim of the study in the neurology department at Benha University Hospital at Benha City, Kaluobia Governorate. A convenient sample of 40 stroke survivor's patients was included in the study as a single study group. Three tools were utilized for data collection, structured interview questionnaire, Hospital Anxiety, and Depression Scale, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Scale. Results:  Reveals that there was a highly statistically significant reduction in the severity of total anxiety and depression and also total posttraumatic stress disorder post-program implementation than before. Also, there was a highly statistically significant positive correlation between total posttraumatic stress, total anxiety, and total depression among studied patients pre and post-program implementation at p-value <0.001. Conclusion:  Psycho-educational program had a positive effect on reducing psychological distress and posttraumatic stress disorder among stroke survivors' patients. The study recommended that psychological nursing intervention should be continuously integrated as a part of routine nursing care provided for stroke survivors' patients in the neurology and rehabilitation unit.

BackgroundPharmacological treatment is widely used for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) despite questions over its efficacy.AimsTo determine the efficacy of all types of pharmacotherapy, as monotherapy, in reducing symptoms of PTSD, and to assess acceptability.MethodA systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials was undertaken; 51 studies were included.ResultsSelective serotonin reuptake inhibitors were found to be statistically superior to placebo in reduction of PTSD symptoms but the effect size was small (standardised mean difference −0.23, 95% CI −0.33 to −0.12). For individual pharmacological agents compared with placebo in two or more trials, we found small statistically significant evidence of efficacy for fluoxetine, paroxetine and venlafaxine.ConclusionsSome drugs have a small positive impact on PTSD symptoms and are acceptable. Fluoxetine, paroxetine and venlafaxine may be considered as potential treatments for the disorder. For most drugs there is inadequate evidence regarding efficacy for PTSD, pointing to the need for more research in this area.
