Longitudinal Predictors of Coronavirus-Related PTSD among Young Adults from Poland, Germany, Slovenia, and Israel

2022

The aim of this study was to reveal longitudinal predictors of coronavirus-related PTSD and the moderating roles of country, sex, age, and student status among young adults from Poland, Germany, Slovenia, and Israel. We included the following predictors: perceived stress, exposure to COVID-19, perceived impact of COVID-19 on well-being in socioeconomic status (PNIC-SES) and social relationships (PNIC-SR), fear of COVID-19, fear of vaccination, and trust in institutions. We conducted the study online among a representative sample of 1723 young adults aged 20–40 (M = 30.74, SD = 5.74) years in February 2021 (T1) and May–June 2021 (T2). We used McNemar’s χ2 and the paired…

Impact of Distressing Media Imagery on Children

2016

Children are particularly fragile and vulnerable to the impact of traumatic events or their mediated representation because they lack the skills and experience in the management of difficult information. Children have different concepts of health and disaster than adults and institutions, depending mainly on their cognitive, emotional, social, psychological, and physical development. If left alone with threatening messages, children are less able to fully understand the information to which they had been exposed. Therefore, they may fail to integrate the external data into their psychological schema of coping strategies. Children usually count on caregivers to deal with stressors, and they …

Mafia e costi psichici. Le ricadute nei familiari delle vittime di omicidio

La letteratura mostra che la morte di un familiare a causa di un omicidio rappresenta una perdita traumatica in grado di provocare un elevato distress (caratterizzato dal “sinergismo” di trauma e lutto) associato all’aumento del rischio di gravi conseguenze sia sulla salute psichica che sulla qualità della vita in generale (Green, 2000; Rynearson & McCreery, 1993). Recenti reviews (van Denderen et al., 2013; Connolly & Gordon, 2014) hanno messo in evidenza un’elevata incidenza di problematiche psicologiche a medio e a lungo termine nei familiari definiti dalla letteratura “ survivors” (Hertz et al., 2005). Tuttavia, ancora pochi sono gli studi sistematici sulle esperienze di lutto traumatic…

Spontaneous extrusion of male genital pearling

2021

Pearling is a practice of inserting small beads beneath the skin of the genitalia. Patients generally underwent this practice believing that this would have made their penis bigger and able to better satisfy their partners during intercourse. Pearling can cause complications. We report a case of spontaneous extrusion of genital pearling exiting in a granuloma of the inner face of the foreskin.

Chapter 35 Complex regional pain syndrome

2006

Publisher Summary This chapter describes complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) as changes of muscles and bones distant from the primary tissue damage. It causes both acute pain and excitation of the sympathetic nervous system. The chapter classifies CRPS into two clinical types: the “primarily warm” type, which usually develops post-traumatically and in which skin temperature is increased on the affected side; and CRPS cases, which manifest with a cold skin from the beginning. This “primarily cold” type more often develops after minor trauma or even spontaneously. The chapter reviews that “primary cold” CRPS is harder to treat and tends to become chronic. Symptoms of CRPS are not stable; th…
