    查看更多>>摘要:Purpose:Previous studies usually examine the associations between psychological distresses and quality of life(QOL)with a variable-centred approach,while little is known about the effect of the individual variance in time-varying changes of psychological distresses on QOL Therefore,this study aimed to examine whether individual variance in psychological distresses during the early phases post-earthquake would develop different QOL's levels among adolescent survivors 10-year after the Wen-chuan earthquake.Methods:Data were extracted from the Wenchuan Earthquake Adolescent Health Cohort Study.The current study included 744 adolescent survivors who effectively completed surveys at 6 months,24 months,and 10 years after the earthquake.Self-report questionnaires were administered to collect in-formation on socio-demographic characteristics,earthquake exposure,life events,anxiety symptoms,depressive symptoms,posttraumatic stress symptoms(PTSS),and QOL.Data were analysed using hier-archical multiple regression.Results:Trajectories of psychological distresses were classified as follow:resistance(anxiety 40.73%;depression 54.70%;PTSS 74.46%),recovery(anxiety 17.20%;depression 9.27%;PTSS 10.35%),delayed dysfunction(anxiety 10.35%;depression 18.15%;PTSS 6.18%),and chronicity(anxiety 31.72%;depression 17.88%;PTSS 9.01%).After controlling covariates,hierarchical multiple regression only revealed that the anxiety trajectory with delayed dysfunction remained significantly predictive for four domains of QOL(physical health,psychological health,social relationships,and environment).Conclusion:The current study highlights the importance of focusing on the variations in trajectories of anxiety symptoms among disaster survivors and providing individualized mental health services to improve survivors'QOL.

    查看更多>>摘要:Purpose:Posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD)is a significant global mental health concern,especially in the military.This study aims to estimate the efficacy of mindfulness meditation in the treatment of military-related PTSD,by synthesizing evidences from randomized controlled trials.Methods:Five electronic databases(Pubmed,EBSCO Medline,Embase,PsychINFO and Cochrane Library)were searched for randomized controlled trials focusing on the treatment effect of mindfulness medi-tation on military-related PTSD.The selection of eligible studies was based on identical inclusion and exclusion criteria.Information about study characteristics,participant characteristics,intervention de-tails,PTSD outcomes,as well as potential adverse effects was extracted from the included studies.Risk of bias of all the included studies was critically assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration's tool.R Statis-tical software was performed for data analysis.Results:A total of 1902 records were initially identified and screened.After duplicates removal and title&abstract review,finally,19 articles in English language with 1326 participants were included through strict inclusion and exclusion criteria.The results revealed that mindfulness meditation had a signifi-cantly larger effect on alleviating military-related PTSD symptoms compared with control conditions,such as treatment as usual,present-centered group therapy and PTSD health education(standardized mean difference(SMD)=-0.33;95%CI[-0.45,-0.21];p<0.0001).Mindfulness interventions with different control conditions(active or non-active control,SMD =-0.33,95%CI[-0.46,-0.19];SMD =-0.49,95%CI[-0.88,-0.10],respectively),formats of delivery(group-based or individual-based,SMD =-0.30,95%CI[-0.42,-0.17],SMD =-0.49,95%CI[-0.90,-0.08],respectively)and intervention durations(short-term or standard duration.SMD =-0.27,95%CI[-0.46.-0.08],SMD =-0.40,95%CI[-0.58,-0.21],respectively)were equally effective in improving military-related PTSD symptoms.Conclusion:Findings from this meta-analysis consolidate the efficacy and feasibility of mindfulness meditation in the treatment of military-related PTSD.Further evidence with higher quality and more rigorous design is needed in the future.
