Objective: The effects of maternal exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) may be transmitted to subsequent generations through various biopsychosocial mechanisms. However, studies tend to focus on exploring one or two focal pathways with less attention paid to links between different pathways. Using a network approach, this paper explores a range of core prenatal risk factors that may link maternal ACEs to infant preterm birth (PTB) and low birthweight (LBW).

Background: Women who have had miscarriages or stillbirths are known to have a high risk for enduring grief. However, the course and frequency of enduring grief in this subgroup are not fully understood.

Objective: Our aims were to assess the intensity of grief and its course in women with miscarriages or stillbirths and to estimate the frequency of severe grief reactions in this population. Additionally, we compared subgroups with miscarriages versus stillbirths and with single versus recurrent pregnancy loss.

Door wat ze doorstonden zijn asielzoekers veerkrachtig, flexibel en kennen ze een groot aanpassingsvermogen, kenmerken die onze maatschappij ten goede kunnen komen, zegt psychologe Michelle Warriner.

Maar, zo zegt ook de Nederlandse orthopedagoog Stephanie Rap, we moeten hen als samenleving ook de juiste opvang en informatie aanreiken in de asielprocedures.

Net dat laat zowel in België als Nederland te wensen over. ‘Maatschappelijke spanningen hangen wel degelijk samen met een gebrek aan mentaal welzijn.’

Results of neuroimaging datasets aggregated from multiple sites may be biased by site-specific profiles in participants’ demographic and clinical characteristics, as well as MRI acquisition protocols and scanning platforms.

Previous studies showed that textual information could be used to screen respondents for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In this study, we explored the feasibility of using language features extracted from short text descriptions respondents provided of stressful events to predict trauma-related symptoms assessed using the Global Psychotrauma Screen. Texts were analyzed with both closed- and open-vocabulary methods to extract language features representing the occurrence of words, phrases, or specific topics in the description of stressful events.

Background: Many countries pay special attention to the transition of their military personnel from deployment to home via post-deployment adaptation programmes (PDAPs).

Objective: This systematic review aims to provide a structured analysis of structure, process, and outcomes based on available empirical evidence for PDAPs.

Achtergrond:  Mensen zonder geldige verblijfsvergunning kunnen in Nederland in vreemdelingendetentie worden geplaatst om hen beschikbaar te houden voor uitzetting. Hoewel internationale literatuur laat zien dat vreemdelingendetentie negatieve effecten heeft op de psychische gezondheid, is er weinig bekend over ervaringen met vreemdelingendetentie in Nederland.

Importance  Current evidence on the association between family history of psychiatric disorders and postpartum depression is inconsistent; family studies have identified familial risk of postpartum depression, whereas systematic reviews and umbrella reviews, compiling all risk factors for postpartum depression, often have not.

Objective  To investigate the association between family history of psychiatric disorders and risk of developing postpartum depression within 12 months post partum.
