Background: Traumatic events can cause social tension, anxiety, panic and other psychological crises, and can even cause post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and suicide. Physical activity has a good role in promoting mental health, and has a great application prospect in individual psychological intervention after traumatic events. However, no systematic review of the relationship between physical activity and individual mental health after traumatic events affecting many people has been published so far, which makes it impossible for people to understand the research status in this field from a holistic perspective.Objective: This review explores the relationship between physical activity and individual psychology, physiology, subjective quality of life and well-being after traumatic events, so as to provide some valuable clues or enlightenment for individual psychological intervention after traumatic events.Method: Relevant literature was searched in five databases, summarised, sorted and studied.Results: Thirty-three study papers were included in this review, the main study findings include: (1) Physical activity is positively correlated with individual mental resilience and subjective well-being after traumatic events, and negatively correlated with anxiety, depression, tension and PTSD. (2) Individuals with higher levels of physical activity have better mental health status after traumatic events than those who do not regularly engage in physical activity. (3) Physical activity can promote sleep quality, self-efficacy, subjective quality of life and various physiological functions of those experiencing traumatic events. (4) Physical activity (including exercise) is regarded as one of the preferred nursing measures to buffer against mental stress and maintain physical and mental health for those experiencing traumatic events.Conclusion: The level of physical activity is positively correlated with individual physical and mental health before and after traumatic events. Physical activity can be used as one of the effective measures to improve individual mental health after traumatic events.
Physical activity can be used as one of the important measures to improve mental health of those experiencing traumatic events.Regular physical activity can reduce the impact of traumatic events on mental health, both before and after the events.

ABSTRACTBackground: After a natural disaster, stressful events often continue to accumulate, affecting individuals in a different manner than the original disaster never occurred. However, few studies have examined these associations, the cumulative impacts of stressful events on mental health outcomes, and the role of social support. This study examined the prospective association between cumulative stressful events and mental health problems and the role of social support in young adults.Methods: 695 participants provided available data on earthquake exposure, childhood maltreatment, other negative life events, and social support at baseline. Depressive symptoms and posttraumatic stress disorder were assessed at baseline and 10 years after the earthquake (T10y). A cumulative stressful events index was used to evaluate the levels of cumulative stressful events. Linear regressions were used to explore the predictive effects.Results: Of 695 participants, 41.3%, 28.5%, and 7.9% reported one, two, and three stressful events, respectively. The associations between cumulative stressful events and mental health problems at T10y presented a dose-response pattern: those who experienced three events had the highest risk of mental health problems, followed by those who experienced two events and those who reported one event. Additionally, higher social support partially reduced the negative impact of cumulative stressful events on mental health.Conclusions: Cumulative stressful events are associated with mental health problems 10 years later in young earthquake survivors. Social support could reduce the negative impact, but its protective role disappears when stressful events accumulate at the highest level. These findings highlight the importance of assessing the cumulative impacts of stressful events and social support available to young disaster survivors and intervening to prevent worse mental health outcomes.
The associations between cumulative stressful events and mental health problems 10 years presented a dose–response pattern.Social support could buffer the negative impacts, but its protective role disappears when stressful events accumulate at the highest level.It is critical to assess the cumulative impacts of stressful events and social support available to young disaster survivors to prevent worse mental health consequences.

There is growing recognition that caring for a patient with schizophrenia often results in high levels of perceived burden and poorer overall mental health for caregivers. A quantitative cross-sectional design and standardized instruments were used to collect data from 355 primary caregivers of adults in outpatient care with schizophrenia in China. Structural equation modeling was used to examine the association between caregiver burden and mental health among primary caregivers and whether this association is influenced by personality, coping style, and family functioning, based on a diathesis-stress perspective. Goodness-of-fit indices (χ2 /df = 1.406, GFI = 0.919, CFI = 0.957, etc.) confirmed that the modified model fit the data well. In line with the diathesis-stress model, and with this study\'s hypotheses, we found that caregiver burden was significantly related to mental health outcomes directly. The final model showed that personality traits, coping style, and family function influenced the relationship between caregiver burden and mental health. The neuroticism personality traits have a direct effect on caregiver burden and family functioning in this sample. Coping style had a direct effect on the caregiver burden, and family functioning had a direct effect on the caregiver burden. Our final model about primary caregivers can be applied clinically to predict mental health outcomes from caregiver burden.
Cada vez se reconce más que cuidar a un paciente con esquizofrenia generalmente resulta en niveles altos de sobrecarga percibida y en una peor salud mental general para los cuidadores. Se utilizó un diseño transversal cuantitativo e instrumentos estandarizados para recopilar datos de 355 cuidadores principales de adultos con esquizofrenia en atención extrahospitalaria en China. Se utilizaron modelos de ecuaciones estructurales para analizar la asociación de la sobrecarga del cuidador y la salud mental entre cuidadores principales, y si esta asociación está influenciada por la personalidad, el estilo de afrontamiento y el desempeño familiar sobre la base de una perspectiva diátesis-estrés. Los índices de bondad de ajuste (χ2 /df = 1.406, GFI = 0.919, CFI = 0.957, etc.) confirmaron que el modelo modificado se ajustó bien a los datos. De acuerdo con el modelo de diátesis-estrés y con las hipótesis de este estudio, descubrimos que la sobrecarga del cuidador estuvo considerablemente relacionada con las consecuencias en la salud mental directamente. El modelo definitivo demostró que los rasgos de la personalidad, el estilo de afrontamiento y el desempeño familiar influyeron en la relación entre la sobrecarga del cuidador y la salud mental. Los rasgos de personalidad de neuroticismo tienen un efecto directo en la sobrecarga del cuidador y el desempeño familiar en esta muestra. El estilo de afrontamiento tuvo un efecto directo en la sobrecarga del cuidador y el desempeño familiar tuvo un efecto directo en la sobrecarga del cuidador. Nuestro modelo definitivo acerca de los cuidadores principales puede aplicarse clínicamente para predecir las consecuencias de la sobrecarga del cuidador en su salud mental.
人们逐渐意识到照顾一个精神分裂症患者经常会导致照料人高水平感知到的负担和整体精神健康下降。我们使用一个定量横截设计和标准工具来收集来自中国335位成年精神分裂症门诊病人主要照料人的数据。基于综合压力视角,我们使用结构等式模型来考察照料人负担和主要照料人精神健康之间的关联以及这一关联是否受个性,应对风格以及家庭功能的影响。拟合优度指标(χ2 /df = 1.406, GFI = 0.919, CFI = 0.957, etc.) 确认调整后模型和数据吻合。我们发现照料人负担直接而且明显和精神健康结果相关,这和综合压力模型以及该研究假设一致。最终模型显示人格特点,应对风格,以及家庭功能影响照料人负担和精神健康之间的关系。在这一样本中神经质性格特点直接影响照料人负担以及家庭功能。应对风格对照料人负担有直接影响,而家庭功能对照料人负担有直接影响。我们最终关于主要照料人的模型可以应用于临床预测照料人负担的精神健康结果。.
