Background: There is growing evidence of the important role played by socio-interpersonal variables on the maintenance of PTSD. Many World War II survivors in Poland could, as a result of political circumstances during the aftermath of the war, have experienced a lack of social recognition of their war-related trauma. Objective: The main aim of the study was to examine the association between perceived social reactions and the level of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSD) and depression. Method: Participants (N = 120) were aged 71–97 years (M = 82.44; SD = 6.14). They completed a WWII trauma-related questionnaire, the Posttraumatic Diagnostic Scale (PDS), the Impact of Events Scale (IES) and Beck’s Depression Inventory (BDI). The Social Acknowledgement Questionnaire (SAQ) was used to measure participants’ perception of others’ acknowledgement and disapproval of their war trauma. Results: The rate of probable PTSD, diagnosed according to DSM-IV, was 38.3%. PTSD symptoms and General Disapproval were significantly correlated for all three PTSD symptom groups (Pearson’s r ranged from .25 to .41). The structural equation modelling results also demonstrated the importance of General Disapproval with regard to the level of PTSD symptoms. It explained both the intensity of PTSD symptoms (13.4% of variance) and the level of depression (12.0% of variance). Conclusion: In addition to confirming the high rate of PTSD among WWII survivors in Poland, the results indicate the importance of social reactions to survivors’ traumatic experiences.

“…Zero indicates that the symptom is not present, whereas three indicates the most extreme level of the symptom. The internal consistency of the BDI ranges from 0.73 to 0.92 with a mean of .86 (Beck, Steer, & Garbin, 1988). The Cronbach’s α for the BDI in the current study was .88.…”

“…Measures of depressive symptoms included the Beck Depression Inventory (Beck, Steer, & Carbin, 1988;Beck, Steer, & Brown, 1996), Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (Radloff, 1977), depression scale of the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scales (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995), Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (Svanborg & Asberg, 1994), and the depression subscale of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (Zigmond & Snaith, 1983). Anxiety symptomology was assessed in 13 studies; measures included the Beck Anxiety Inventory (Beck, Epstein, Brown, & Steer, 1988), anxiety scale of the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scales, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Spielberger, Gorsuch, Lushene, Vagg, & Jacobs, 1983), and the anxiety subscale of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.…”

eHealth is an innovative method of delivering therapeutic content with the potential to improve access to third-wave behaviural and cognitive therapies. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the efficacy and acceptability of third-wave eHealth treatments in improving mental health outcomes. A comprehensive search of electronic bibliographic databases including PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and CENTRAL was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials of third-wave treatments in which eHealth was the main component. Twenty-one studies were included in the review. Meta-analyses revealed that thirdwave eHealth significantly outperformed inactive control conditions in improving anxiety, depression, and quality-oflife outcomes and active control conditions in alleviating anxiety and depression with small to medium effect sizes. No statistically significant differences were found relative to comparison interventions. Findings from a narrative synthesis of participant evaluation outcomes and meta-analysis of participant attrition rates provided preliminary support for the acceptability of third-wave eHealth.Third-wave eHealth treatments are efficacious in improving mental health outcomes including anxiety, depression, and quality of life, but not more so than comparison interventions. Preliminary evidence from indices of participant evaluation and attrition rates supports the acceptability of these treatments.

“…The BDI is a selfadministered 21-item self-report scale. The total score of the BDI indicates levels of depression, 0-4: possible denial of depression, 5-9: normal, 10-18: mild to moderate depression, 19-29: moderate to severe depression and 30-63: severe depression (reliability: Cronbach's a 0.81 for nonpsychiatric populations) [45].…”
