Het Doelgroepenonderzoek heeft de volgende doelstellingen:

• Input leveren voor beleidsvorming van de organisaties binnen het Platform en daardoor dus dienstbaar zijn aan de doelstellingen van organisaties in het Platform;

• Voortbouwen op en verbanden leggen tussen eerdere onderzoeken;

• Inzicht bieden in de positie die het onderwerp Tweede Wereldoorlog inneemt ten opzichte van andere thema’s en mogelijke tijdsbestedingen; kortom de mentaliteitsprofielen van ‘consumenten’;

• Een gedeelde en gedragen kennisbasis bieden voor alle leden van het Platform.

Op 5 april 2016 werd op het jaarcongres van het Nationaal Comité 4 en 5 mei de netwerkorganisatie Platform WOII formeel opgericht. Doel van Platform WO2 is de herinnering aan de Tweede Wereldoorlog levend houden voor toekomstige generaties. Belangrijke redenen om de samenwerking juist nu te intensiveren en te concretiseren zijn erin gelegen dat de belangstelling voor de Tweede Wereldoorlog groot is en groeiende.

Introduction

Introduction

In some cases childbirth leads to negative psychological responses such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a common and major complication of childbirth, which occasionally requires emergency hysterectomy in severe cases. Patients often describe these complications as a traumatic experience. It is unknown whether PPH is a risk factor for developing PTSD.

Despite an array of evidence-based psychological treatments for patients with a posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a majority of patients do not fully benefit from the potential of these therapies. In veterans with PTSD, up to two-thirds retain their diagnosis after psychotherapy and often their disorder is treatment-resistant, which calls for improvement of therapeutic approaches for this population. One of the factors hypothesized to underlie low response in PTSD treatment is high behavioral and cognitive avoidance to traumatic reminders.

Background: Psychological resilience is a distinct factor that affects mental health outcomes after adversities. This study describes the development, validity and measurement invariance (MI) of a Dutch and English scale on psychological resilience, called the Resilience Evaluation Scale (RES).

Methods: Separate online surveys with the Dutch and English version of the RES and hypothesized relatedmeasures were distributed in a Dutch- and English-speaking group, both drawn from the general population.

Objectives

Individuals with post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have neurocognitive deficits in verbal memory and executive functioning. In this study, we examined whether memory and executive functioning changed over the course of treatment and which clinical variables were associated with change.

Design

Neuropsychological assessments were administered at baseline and endpoint of a randomized controlled trial as secondary outcome.

Methods

The field of treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been a pacesetter for the changing face of psychotherapy, as is illustrated in the introduction of Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy. This paper outlines a novel approach that builds on a cognitive-motor interaction in a virtual interactive environment. It is based on the theory of memory reconsolidation and the embodiment of cognition.
