“…Many researchers have suggested that PTSD and burnout may be coexistent in people following stressful environments (Mealer, Burnham, Goode, Rothbaum, & Moss, 2009; Zhou, Zhen, & Wu, 2017). Hence, it is important to explore the potential protective factors of PTSD and academic burnout following exposure to natural disasters.…”

Background: Previous studies have shown that parental attachment is associated with low severity of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and low academic burnout in individuals who have experienced traumatic events. Objective: The present study investigated the ways in which parental attachment is related to PTSD symptoms and academic burnout in Chinese traumatized adolescents by considering the role of dispositional mindfulness. Method: A total of 443 Chinese adolescents who had experienced a severe tornado one year prior to this study completed measures of parental attachment, dispositional mindfulness, PTSD and academic burnout. Results: The results showed that our model fitted the data well [χ2/df = 2.968, CFI = 0.971, TLI = 0.955, RMSEA (90% CI) = 0.067 (0.052–0.082)] and revealed that dispositional mindfulness partially mediates the relationship between parental attachment, PTSD severity and academic burnout. Conclusions: The findings suggested that dispositional mindfulness and parental attachment may be two critical resources in dealing with traumatization and academic burnout.

“…Individuals who have experienced an earthquake may report physical injury and/or psychological disorders (e.g., Bianchini et al., 2015; Chui et al., 2017; Jin, Sun, Wang, An, & Xu, 2018). In addition to post-earthquake physical and mental problems, adolescents may also experience academic-related problems such as academic burnout (e.g., Ying, Wang, Lin, & Chen, 2016; Zhou, Zhen, & Wu, 2017). Academic/school burnout is a syndrome characterized by emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and academic inefficacy owing to the continued failure to successfully manage academic stress (e.g., Schaufeli, Martinez, Pinto, Salanova, & Bakker, 2002).…”

“…According to this model, academic activities and other occupations can be categorized in terms of two factors: demands and resources. If an individual's resources are insufficient to meet the demands of engaging in study or work, then burnout may occur (e.g., Cadime, Pinto, Lima, Rego, Pereira, & Ribeiro, 2016; Salmela-Aro & Upadyaya, 2014a; Salmela-Aro & Vuori, 2015; Zhou et al., 2017). An earthquake not only disrupts school infrastructure (e.g., Zhao, Taucer, & Rossetto, 2009), but also creates an uncertain and insecure school setting (e.g., Ying et al., 2016).…”

Changes in academic burnout in adolescents have attracted much research attention; however, most studies assume that adolescent academic burnout is characterized by overall homogenous change and overlook the heterogeneity of burnout change. To address this issue, this study examined distinct latent trajectories of academic burnout in adolescents following the Wenchuan earthquake, China. Adolescents were surveyed at 1 (T1), 1.5 (T2), 2 (T3), and 2.5 years (T4) after the earthquake. Self-reported questionnaires were administered to 391 participants aged 12- to 19-years-old. The results identified three academic burnout trajectories: Increasing (3.9%), low (85.4%), and decreasing (10.7%). Additionally, intrusive post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms were more likely in the increasing group, avoidance PTSD symptoms were more likely in the decreasing group, and PTSD hyperarousal symptoms were more likely in the decreasing group, but less likely in the increasing group. These findings indicate that adolescents experienced heterogeneous academic burnout changes following the earthquake.

Background: The effects of disasters and conflicts are widespread and heavily studied. While attention to disasters' impacts on mental health is growing, mental health effects are not well understood due to inconsistencies in measurement. Objective: The purpose of this study is to review mental health assessment tools and their use in populations affected by disasters and conflicts. Method: Tools that assess posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, substance use disorder, and general mental health were examined. This review began with a search for assessment tools in PubMed, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar. Next, validation studies for the tools were obtained through snowball sampling. A final search was conducted for scientific studies using the selected tools in humanitarian settings to collect the data for analysis. The benefits and limitations described for each tool were compiled into a complete table. Results: Twelve assessment tools were included, with 88 studies using them. The primary findings indicate that half of the studies used the Impact of Events Scale-Revised. The most common limitation discussed is that self-report tools inaccurately estimate the prevalence of mental health problems. This inaccuracy is further exacerbated by a lack of cultural appropriateness of the tools, as many are developed for Western contexts. Conclusion: It is recommended that researchers and humanitarian workers reflect on the effectiveness of the mental health assessment tool they use to accurately represent the populations under study in emergency settings. In addition, mental health assessment should be coupled with action.
