“…In line with proposals for the ICD-11, PTSD was predicted by the previous traumatic experiences, but not by the exposure to a stressful event in the past month. AjD was predicted both by stressful experiences and previous trauma exposure in the same study (Mahat-Shamir et al, 2017). Furthermore, demographic characteristics, such as age, and interpersonal factors, such as emotional regulation, seem to be important for AjD (Horn & Maercker, 2016; Mahat-Shamir et al, 2017).…”

“…Four versions of ADNM were used in studies: the brief 6-item ADNM-6, 8-item ADNM-8, 20-item ADNM-20, and 29-item ADNM-29. Six of the reviewed studies used the 20-item ADNM-20 scale, which included the 20 symptom items comprising six subscales: preoccupation (four items), failure to adapt (three items), avoidance (four items), depression (three items), impulsivity (three items), anxiety (two items) (Glaesmer et al, 2015; Lorenz, Hyland, Perkonigg, & Maercker, 2017; Lorenz et al, 2016; Mahat-Shamir et al, 2017; Zelviene et al, 2017). The 29-item ADNM-29 was used in one study (Bachem et al, 2016).…”

“…Two studies analysed factors associated with symptoms of ICD-11 AjD (Horn & Maercker, 2016; Mahat-Shamir et al, 2017). Seventy-three couples with exposure to a major stressor over the last 12-months participated in a study which explored the role of interpersonal emotion regulation strategies on adjustment disorder (Horn & Maercker, 2016).…”

“…The second study explored AjD predictors following the terror attack in Tel Aviv ( N = 379) (Mahat-Shamir et al, 2017). Previous traumatic exposure was a significant predictor of PTSD and AjD, while previous exposure to stressful events during the past month was significant predictor for AjD, but not PTSD.…”

“…Previous traumatic exposure was a significant predictor of PTSD and AjD, while previous exposure to stressful events during the past month was significant predictor for AjD, but not PTSD. Physical proximity to the terror event was a significant risk factor for PTSD, but not for AjD (Mahat-Shamir et al, 2017). Age was a significant predictor of AjD in this study.…”

Background: Adjustment disorder (AjD) is one of the most used mental disorder diagnoses among mental health professionals. Important revisions of the AjD definition in the 11th edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) are proposed. AjD is included in a chapter of disorders specifically associated with stress in ICD-11. Objective: This paper aims to review recent developments in ICD-11 AjD research, and to discuss the available ICD-11 AjD diagnosis validation studies, AjD measures, treatment studies, and outline the future perspectives for AjD research and clinical practice. Methods: In total, 10 empirical studies of AjD ICD-11 were identified and included in this review. We searched for studies in Embase, PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus, PILOTS, SocINDEX, and via additional search by contacting authors of published empirical studies and reference screening. Results: Review of the studies revealed a lack of validation studies of the ICD-11 AjD symptom structure. AjD validation study findings are ambiguous, and there is still little support for the proposed two symptom structure of AjD for the ICD-11. A self-report AjD measure ‘Adjustment Disorder New Module’ (ADNM) based on the ICD-11 definition has been developed and used in all 10 reviewed studies. Two self-help interventions have been developed for the ICD-11 AjD, and findings from these studies indicate that self-help low-intensity cognitive-behavioural interventions, delivered via bibliography or internet-based, might be effective treatment of AjD. Conclusions: The AjD definition in ICD-11 with a description of a new symptom profile facilitates AjD measurement and AjD-focused treatment developments. More studies and insights from clinical practice are needed to move the field of AjD research and practice forward.

In April 2020, early in the COVID-19 outbreak, governments restricted public gatherings and ordered social distancing. These demands led to challenging adaptations, which in some cases resulted in mental health issues, including adjustment disorder. Guided by the transactional stress model, the current study aimed to examine the relations between personality traits and adjustment disorder in crisis situations and vagueness and the role of intolerance to uncertainty and self-efficacy in these relations. During Israel’s first lockdown, 673 Israeli adults completed self-reported e-version questionnaires regarding Big Five personality traits, adjustment disorder, intolerance to uncertainty, self-efficacy, and background variables. The study was designed to examine the association between personality traits and adjustment disorder and the potential mediation of intolerance to uncertainty and self-efficacy in associations. The findings revealed that intolerance to uncertainty and self-efficacy mediated the association between personality traits and adjustment disorder. The results are consistent with the transactional stress model. They shed light on the role of intolerance to uncertainty and self-efficacy as cognitive mechanisms that promote the development of adjustment disorder. Recommendations for future studies and practice are discussed.
