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.

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

Abstract Background Parents of children with severe inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) frequently face stressful events related to the disease of their child and are consequently at high risk for developing parental posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Assessment and treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in these parents is however not yet common in clinical practice. PTSD can be effectively treated by Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mostly offered in multiple weekly sessions which may preclude participation as parents are generally overburdened by the ongoing and intensive care for their child. We offered time-limited EMDR therapy with a maximum of four sessions over two subsequent days to two parents (from different families) of mucopolysaccharidosis type III (MPS III) patients to explore the potential effect of this approach in reducing post-traumatic stress symptoms and comorbid psychological distress. Methods Both qualitative and quantitative outcomes were used. The case conceptualisation, EMDR sessions and the effects reported by parents are described. The change in the severity of post-traumatic stress symptoms and comorbid psychological distress were evaluated with the Reliable Change Index (RCI). Results All traumatic memories and catastrophic fears of the future reported by parents were successfully processed and neutralized. Parents felt more competent to face future difficulties related to the disease of their child, and no adverse effects were reported. Quantitative outcomes showed a clinically significant decrease in post-traumatic stress symptoms and comorbid psychological distress from pre- to post treatment, and these beneficial effects were maintained at follow-up. Conclusion Time-limited EMDR might be a successful treatment for traumatized parents of children with mucopolysaccharidosis type III, and we suggest that this approach may have a wider application including parents of children with other severe IEMs. More awareness in clinical practice of the need for assessment and treatment of PTSD in parents of children with IEMs is essential to improve the psychosocial wellbeing of both parent and child.

AbstractPost-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a debilitating psychopathological disease that is triggered by exposure to traumatic events. It is usually associated with substantial comorbidities, such as cognitive impairment, anxiety, and depression. Silymarin has been recently reported to exert neuroprotective activities against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimerʼs and Parkinsonʼs diseases. Herein, the beneficial effects of silymarin in ameliorating PTSD-like symptoms such as memory impairments, anxiety, and depression were evaluated using a single-prolonged stress (SPS) rat model of PTSD. Male Wistar rats were randomly assigned into four groups: control, silymarin, SPS, or SPS + silymarin. Rats were administrated silymarin, 100 mg/kg i. p. for 4 wk. Rats in all groups were tested for short- and long-term memory in the radial arm water maze (RAWM), for anxiety-like behaviors using the open field test (OFT) and elevated plus maze (EPM) test, and for depression-like symptoms using the tail suspension test (TST). Conventional analyses of the RAWM, EPM, OFT, and TST were conducted using analysis of variance. Additionally, the anxiety-related behavior parameters of the EPM and OFT were entered to principal component analysis. Regression scores based on the first two extracted components, which accounted for 61% of the variance, were indicative of the anxiolytic activity of silymarin. Collectively, the results suggest that silymarin treatment prevents SPS-induced long-term memory impairments, anxiety, and depressive-like symptoms in rat models.
