Intimate partner violence (IPV) survivors frequently report face, head, and neck as their injury site. Many mild traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are undiagnosed or underreported among IPV survivors while these injuries may be linked to changes in brain function or pathology. TBI sustained due to IPV often occurs over time and ranges in severity. The aim of this case-series study was to explore risk factors, symptoms, and brain changes unique to survivors of intimate partner violence with suspicion of TBI. This case-series exploratory study examines the potential relationships among IPV, mental health issues, and TBI. Participants of this study included six women: 3 women with a history of IPV without any experience of concussive blunt force to the head, and 3 women with a history of IPV with concussive head trauma. Participants completed 7T MRI of the brain, self-report psychological questionnaires regarding their mental health, relationships, and IPV, and the Structured Clinical Interview. MRI scans were analyzed for cerebral hemorrhage, white matter disturbance, and cortical thinning. Results indicated significant differences in resting-state connectivity among survivors of partner violence as well as differences in relationship dynamics and mental health symptoms. White matter hyperintensities are also observed among the survivors. Developing guidelines and recommendations for TBI-risk screening, referrals, and appropriate service provision is crucial for the effective treatment of TBI-associated IPV. Early and accurate characterization of TBI in survivors of IPV may relieve certain neuropsychological consequences.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the occupational stress experienced by bank employees in Greece and its connection with emotional intelligence and demographic factors. More specifically, the feeling of occupational stress and the level of emotional intelligence among Greek bank employees are investigated both separately and in correlation. In addition, it is investigated how demographic characteristics are likely to affect the feeling of occupational stress and the level of emotional intelligence of employees in bank institutions in Greece. In addition, the study investigates whether the individual dimensions of emotional intelligence are likely to predict the level of occupational stress experienced by Greek bank employees. The sample of the present study consisted of 192 employees of Greek banks and credit institutions. The instruments used for data collection were the Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen et al., 1983) (Cronbach’s α =0.85) and the Schutte Self Report Emotional Intelligence Test (Schuutte et al., 1998) (Chronbach’s α = 0.90). The Perceived Stress Scale consisted of 10 questions, six of which were formulated negatively and measured the level of stress experienced by the employees, while the rest four were formulated positively and measured the employees’ control of stress. The answers for the first six questions were given in a five-level likert scale: 0 = Never, 4 = Very often, while the remaining four in another five level-Likert scale: 0 = Very Often, 4 = Never. The Schutte Self Report Emotional Intelligence Test consisted of 33 questions measuring the level of the employees’ emotional intelligence. The responses were given in a five-level Likert scale: 0 = Never, 4 = Very often. The results of the study showed that occupational stress among Greek bank employees was likely to be affected by some demographic factors and partially predicted by some dimensions of emotional intelligence. However, further investigation should be carried out in the Greek population, so that the phenomenon of occupational stress is well studied and decreased.

Objective: Breast cancer is the most prevalent oncologic diagnosis given to women all around the world, and can cause diverse psychiatric symptomatologies and damage to the life of its carrier. The concept of posttraumatic growth (PTG) focuses on the perception of a positive change from the experience of a stressing situation. This study’s objective was to evaluate PTG and different predictor variables for women (n=84) with breast cancer in Brazil. Method: On this exploratory study, self-report scales referring to the diagnosis period and oncologic treatment were applied individually. Results: Having a husband/partner, adaptive coping strategies and a religion of identification were found to be predictor variables in different established regressive models. Rumination did not show any correlation to PTG scores, refuting the results of previous studies. The results found in this study confirm previous research as for PTG predictors, except for rumination. Conclusions: Positive changes resulting from experiencing breast cancer are present in Brazilian women and different interventions can be thought of based on the study of predictors.

Abstract Objectives Occupational stress is defined as a lack of coordination between job requirements and individual abilities. This stress relates to several salivary biomarkers. Stress plays an important role in creating temporomandibular disorder (TMD). In this study we aimed to investigate the relationship between stress and TMD by examining the occupational stress using dental environment stress (DES) questionnaire and measuring the stress markers in saliva including cortisol and immunoglobulin A in fourth to sixth year students of Qom Dental School. Methods In present study, 60 students participated. At first, a clinical examination was performed based on the RDC/TMD method to determine the temporomandibular joint status, then a DES questionnaire was completed to determine the occupational stress level and finally a sample of saliva was taken from the students and the amounts of salivary cortisol and IgA were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results The mean cortisol and IgA levels were 4.74 ± 2.80 ng/ml and 220.26 ± 121.22 µg/ml, respectively and the mean score of the DES questionnaire was 2.48 ± 0.58. In this study, 24 patients (40%) suffered from TMD. There was no correlation between cortisol and IgA levels with the DES score (p value > 0.05). There was no significant relationship between TMD and three variables of cortisol, IgA and DES scores (p value > 0.05). Conclusion Stress is one of the most important causes of TMD. Salivary biomarkers can be useful markers for determining stress in people with TMD but this issue was not confirmed in our study. Clinical relevance: In this study, no relationship was observed between TMD and occupational stress.
