The potential mental health consequences of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic are widely acknowledged; however, limited research exists regarding the nature and patterns of stress responses to COVID-19-related potentially traumatic events (PTEs) and the convergence/divergence with responses to other (non-COVID-19-related) PTEs. Network analysis can provide a useful method for evaluating and comparing these symptom structures. The present study includes 7034 participants from 86 countries who reported on mental health symptoms associated with either a COVID-19-related PTE ( n = 1838) or other PTE ( n = 5196). Using network analysis, we compared the centrality and connections of symptoms within and between each group. Overall, results show that the COVID-19-related network includes transdiagnostic symptom associations similar to networks tied to PTEs unrelated to the pandemic. Findings provide evidence for a shared centrality of depression across networks and theoretically consistent connections between symptoms. Network differences included stronger connections between avoidance-derealization and hypervigilance-depression in the COVID-19 network. Present findings support the conceptualization of psychological responses to pandemic-related PTEs as a network of highly interconnected symptoms and support the use of a transdiagnostic approach to the assessment and treatment of mental health challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Data availability statement Raw data were generated through the Global Collaboration on Traumatic Stress (GC-TS). Derived data supporting the findings of this study are available on request and will be shared after the end of the study on the GC-TS website.

Abstract. Adjustment Disorder (AD) is a common mental health problem in primary care setting. This study aimed to examine the validity of GHQ-12 as Adjustment Disorder screening instrument in Public Health Center (Puskesmas). The subjects were 243 adult outpatients from twenty five Puskesmas in Sleman, Yogyakarta. The prevalence of AD was 12.9%. A cronbach's Alpha of .863 (likert's scoring method), .841 (bimodal's scoring method), .832 (CGHQ's scoring method) were obtained, Sensitivity and specivity for GHQ-12 were .81 and .62 (for the optimum cut-off point ≥11 in Likert's scoring method), .81 and .57 (for the optimum cut-off point ≥2 in bimodal's scoring method), .81 and .55 (for the optimum cut-off point ≥4 in CGHQ's scoring method). Positive Likelihood Ratio and negative Likelihood Ratio for GHQ-12 were 2.12 and 0.31 (Likert's scoring method), 1.90 and 0.34 (Bimodal's scoring method), and 1.80 and 0.35 (CGHQ's scoring method). The GHQ-12 is valid and reliable in Puskesmas population, and can be employed as a screening instrumen in this population.Keywords: GHQ-12, SCID, adjustment disorder, public health center (puskesmas), validity Abstrak.

This study aimed to compare marital satisfaction in two types of dual-earner couples, namely commuter and single residence marriage couples. Commuter marriage couples are those who live in two separate residences due to their work demands for at least part of the week, whereas single residence couples live in the same residences. A sample of 239 couples filled out the Couple Satisfaction Index (CSI). Factorial ANOVA used to compare marital satisfaction of the two groups. The result showed that commuter marriage couples have higher marital satisfaction compared to single residence dual earner couple. Men in this study reported higher marital satisfaction compared to women.

Sexual violence against women, particularly in the form of rape, is a serious issue that must be addressed in Indonesia. However, victims of sexual violence are not enveloped by a supportive atmosphere due to the pervasive acceptance of rape myths in society. This study examined the role of ambivalent sexism and sexual objectification of women in predicting the acceptance of rape myths among male college students in Greater Jakarta, Indonesia. A sample of 275 male college students completed the Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance Scale-Short Form, Ambivalent Sexism Inventory, and Women Are Sexual Objects subscale from the Attitude Toward Dating and Relationship Measure Revised. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that ambivalent sexism and sexual objectification of women significantly predicted rape myth acceptance, with sexual objectification of women tends to have more contribution. This finding explains that to develop and conduct prevention and treatment, both variables need to be addressed, with more attention given to the sexual objectification of women.

Kepuasan pernikahan pada pasangan yang menjalani dual-earner family memiliki tantangan yang besar, terutama bagi istri, akibat tingginya stress yang bersumber dari pekerjaan maupun pernikahan dan keluarga. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan work-family conflict dan work-family balance terhadap kepuasan pernikahan pada istri yang menjalani dual earner family. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain cross-sectional. Kepuasan pernikahan diukur menggunakan Couple Satisfaction Index, work-family conflict diukur dengan menggunakan Work-Family Conflict Scale, sementara work-family balance diukur dengan Work-Family Balance Scale. Responden dalam penelitian ini adalah 181 istri yang merupakan pegawai penuh waktu di Jabodetabek, dipilih dengan teknik convenience sampling. Teknik korelasi Pearson digunakan sebagai metode dalam melakukan pengujian hipotesis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa workfamily conflict berhubungan negatif secara signifikan dengan kepuasan pernikahan, terutama dalam dimensi work-intervening with family (r=-0,346; p<0,01). Sementara itu, terdapat korelasi yang positif antara work-family balance dengan kepuasan pernikahan pada istri dalam dual-earner family (r=0,294; p<0,01). Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa menjalankan peran sebagai pekerja, istri, dan ibu dalam waktu yang bersamaan bukan hal yang mudah dan dapat menurunkan kepuasan pernikahan.

We investigated whether the impact of potentially traumatic events (PTEs) on trauma‐related symptoms changes across the transitional adult lifespan (i.e., 16–100 years old) and if this association differs for self‐reported COVID‐19–related PTEs compared to other PTEs. A web‐based cross‐sectional study was conducted among 7,034 participants from 88 countries between late April and October 2020. Participants completed the Global Psychotrauma Screen (GPS), a self‐report questionnaire assessing trauma‐related symptoms. Data were analyzed using linear and logistic regression analyses and general linear models. We found that older age was associated with lower GPS total symptom scores, B = −0.02, p < .001; this association remained significant but was substantially weaker for self‐reported COVID‐19–related PTEs compared to other PTEs, B = 0.02, p = .009. The results suggest an association between older age and lower ratings of trauma‐related symptoms on the GPS, indicating a blunted symptom presentation. This age‐related trend was smaller for self‐reported COVID‐19–related PTEs compared to other PTEs, reflecting the relatively higher impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on older adults.

Background Psychological resilience is an important factor in coping with Potentially Traumatic Events (PTEs) and might mitigate the development of trauma-related disorders. Due to the high risk of natural disasters, criminal activity, and transportation accidents among the Indonesian population, it is critical to assess psychological resilience as a protective factor. This study aimed to validate the Resilience Evaluation Scale (RES) in Indonesian undergraduate students. Methods We recruited 327 students (78% female, the mean age is 19.61 (SD = 1.24)) between March and June 2020 using convenience sampling, 256 (78.28%) of whom completed the RES twice with an interval of 2 weeks for test-retest reliability purposes. Parallel Analysis and Exploratory Factor Analysis were performed to examine the construct validity of the RES. The internal consistency and the test-retest reliability were assessed using Cronbach Alpha, Pearson Correlations, and Interclass Correlation Coefficients (ICC). Convergent and divergent validity were examined using Pearson Correlations. Results EFA analysis yielded a two-factor structure for the final eight-item Indonesian version of RES, which reflected two underlying constructs of resilience: self-confidence and self-efficacy. The Indonesian version of RES demonstrated good internal consistency (α = 0.74–0.82) and test-retest reliability (r = 0.68–0.78; ICC = 0.67–0.78). The result showed that the RES total and subscale scores positively correlated with all criterion variables (resilience, self-efficacy, self-esteem, level of global functioning, and adaptive coping strategy; r = 0.27–0.73). RES total and subscale scores negatively correlated with opposite constructs (PTSD, depression, social/work impairment, and maladaptive coping strategy; r = - 0.27– -0.46). Conclusions The current study showed that the Indonesian RES is a valid and reliable measurement of psychological resilience in Indonesian undergraduate students. The final 8-item Indonesian RES, a freely available resilience instrument, is recommended for future studies and public mental health initiatives in the Indonesian population.
