Effectiveness of combining psychological prevention interventions with interventions that address the social determinants of mental health in low- and middle-income countries : a systematic review and meta-analysis

Question Task-shared preventive psychological interventions combined with interventions addressing social determinants of mental health may prevent common mental health conditions (CMHCs), particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, an evidence synthesis of their combination has not yet been investigated. We aimed to systematically assess the effectiveness of these combined interventions in LMICs.

Associations between posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms and reckless/self-destructive behaviors among firefighters : the roles of negative and positive affect

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms are linked to increased engagement in reckless/self-destructive behaviors (RSDBs), with affect being a purported mechanism underlying this relationship. To extend such research in a high-risk and vulnerable population, the current study examined the mediating role of negative and positive affect levels in the association between PTSD symptom severity and RSDB engagement among firefighters.

A short-term intervention program for traumatic grief guided by the Two-Track Model of Bereavement (TTMB) : Applying a multi-module transtheoretical framework

The purpose of the present article is to describe and demonstrate the principles of multi-module and short-term intervention for traumatic bereavement. This intervention program is based on the Two-Track Model of Loss and Bereavement (TTMB), a model that provides a multidimensional framework for assessing and formulating interventions following interpersonal loss. Following a brief introduction to the topic of traumatic loss and bereavement and its relevance, we proceed to consider the TTMB succinctly.

 

Anthropological practices in sexuality and genocide studies : Ethical and moral dilemmas

The American Anthropological Association stipulates that the first duty of anthropologists is: do no harm. Yet early anthropologists such as Snouck Hurgronje actively supported colonial governments and their wars. Even Benedict supported a war effort. In my work on genocides and sexual rights I struggled with ethical and moral dilemmas and upheld a human/women's/sexual rights framework.

Post-traumatic stress disorder rates in trauma-exposed children and adolescents : updated three-level meta-analysis

Background
In the past decade, no meta-analytical estimates of the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among children and adolescents have been published, despite a host of new prevalence studies and updated DSM-5 criteria.

Aims

We set out to estimate the prevalence rates of PTSD in trauma-exposed children and adolescents on the basis of DSM-IV and DSM-5 criteria, and investigate differences in prevalence across trauma type, gender, time since exposure, type of informant and diagnostic measures.

Examining Moral Injury in Legal-Involved Veterans : Psychometric Properties of the Moral Injury Events Scale

Background: Veterans comprise about 8% of the incarcerated US population. Legal system involvement may result in exposure to events that violate moral expectations (ie, moral injury). Currently, there are no validated measures for assessing legal-related moral injury.

Moral Injury : An Overview of Conceptual, Definitional, Assessment, and Treatment Issues

Moral injury (MI) is a potential clinical problem characterized by functionally impairing moral emotions, beliefs, and behaviors as well as adverse beliefs about personal or collective humanity and life's meaning and purpose. MI can arise from personal transgressive acts or from being a victim of or bearing witness to others’ inhumanity. Despite widespread interest in MI, until recently, there was no reliable measure of MI as an outcome, and prior research has revealed little about its causes, consequences, and intervention approaches.

 

Generational Trauma Transmission : Unveiling the Impact of Family Dynamics on Behavioral and Emotional Development

Intergenerational trauma creates a complex web of emotional challenges, affecting both well-being and the fundamental dynamics of family relationships across generations. The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of intergenerational trauma on the behavioral and emotional development of individuals within families. It is hypothesized that higher scores on the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) questionnaire will correlate with increased negative emotional outcomes, such as anxiety and depression, and that family dynamics will mediate these effects.
