Post traumatic stress disorder and coping in a sample of adult survivors of the Italian earthquake

Factors associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following natural disaster among Indonesian elderly

“…On the other hand, the working status after the disaster was not related to PTSD ( p =0.311). At a glance, this finding was different to studies stating that the unemployment rate after disasters is associated with PTSD occurrence in the elderly (Cénat and Derivois, 2014; Cofini et al , 2015). However, arguments for this finding can be found in a study stating that loss of livelihood is associated with the development of PTSD (Zhang et al , 2011, 2012).…”

Latent classes of posttraumatic stress disorder among survivors of the Bam Earthquake after 17 years

“…However, our study indicates that there was no significant difference between education levels for comparing the Severe and Low classes. This supports the results of a prior study reported by Cofini et al [ 37 ].…”

Association between habitual use of coping strategies and posttraumatic stress symptoms in a non-clinical sample of college students: A Bayesian approach

“…In contrast to Schnider et al (2007) and Roberts et al (2016) [16,7], in our study we found that emotion-focused coping strategies were associated with reduced severity of PTSS. This finding is in line with the current literature finding that functional/adaptive coping styles are related to good health outcomes, such as low trait anxiety, high self-esteem, high heart rate variability, and low PTSS [9,[24][25]56]. It is important to note that several studies measured coping styles associated with a specific traumatic event [7,9], whereas our study measured the usual coping styles of participants, which means that they completed the Brief COPE scale thinking about how they usually deal with stressors on a daily basis.…”

Furthermore, one can speculate that individuals who use more adaptive coping styles-in this case, emotion-focused coping styles-tend to have a reduced psychological stress response.…”
