本期欧洲精神创伤学杂志(EJPT)特刊发表于2021年至2023年之间的51篇文章,并紧随2021年发表的与大流行相关的创伤压力研究特刊(O'Donnell,M、L、&Greene,T、[2021]。通过创伤视角了解COVID-19对心理健康的影响。欧洲心理创伤学杂志,12(1)、1982502).大流行期间的创伤压力研究将焦点放在了弱势群体和群体上,特别是一线医护人员;面临重大损失的人,包括亲人的死亡;那些在衰弱和经常危及生命的病毒感染中幸存下来的人;以及那些被孤立并经历严重教育延误的学生,关系,新兴的独立。该系列中的论文强调了与COVID-19相关的应激源与过多的不良心理健康后遗症之间的关联,包括创伤后应激反应,并提请注意无处不在的悲伤和道德伤害及其广泛而有害的影响。目前,缺乏关于增加资源的干预措施的证据,自我效能感,希望受影响的群体和个人通过社会,组织,和医疗保健系统;然而,关于预防COVID相关创伤应激障碍的早期研究为未来的希望和准备提供了基础。
由于COVID-19大流行而发生的压力源和创伤事件与广泛的心理健康问题有关,包括创伤后应激反应,特别是在弱势群体中(例如,一线医护人员,个人面临重大损失,如亲人的死亡,那些在衰弱和经常危及生命的感染中幸存下来的人)。损失和精神伤害是大流行的常见和潜在的衰弱特征。社会,组织,和医疗系统干预措施,以增加资源,功效,受影响的群体和个人的希望仍处于早期阶段,尽管预防COVID相关创伤应激障碍的初步研究是有希望的。
This Special Issue of the European Journal of Psychotraumatology (EJPT) presents 51 articles published between 2021 and 2023 and follows the Special Issue on pandemic-related traumatic stress research published in 2021 (O\'Donnell, M. L., & Greene, T. [2021]. Understanding the mental health impacts of COVID-19 through a trauma lens. European Journal of Psychotraumatology, 12(1), 1982502). Research on traumatic stress during the pandemic has cast the spotlight on vulnerable populations and groups, notably front-line healthcare workers; people faced with major losses including the deaths of loved ones; those who personally survived debilitating and often life-threatening viral infection; and students who were isolated and experienced profound delays in their education, relationships, and emerging independence. The papers in this collection underscore the associations between COVID-19 related stressors and a plethora of adverse mental health sequelae, including posttraumatic stress reactions, and draw attention to the ubiquity of grief and moral injury and their wide-ranging and detrimental impact. Currently, there is a paucity of evidence on interventions to enhance resources, self-efficacy, and hope for affected groups and individuals through societal, organisational, and healthcare systems; however early research on the prevention of COVID-related traumatic stress disorders provides a basis for both hope and preparedness for the future.
Stressors and traumatic events occurring due to the COVID-19 pandemic are associated with a wide range of mental health problems, including posttraumatic stress reactions, especially among vulnerable groups (e.g., front-line healthcare workers, individuals who faced major losses such as the deaths of loved ones, those who survived debilitating and often life-threatening infection).Loss and moral injury are common and potentially debilitating features of the pandemic.Societal, organisational, and healthcare system interventions to enhance resources, efficacy, and hope for affected groups and individuals are still in the early stages, although preliminary research on the prevention of COVID-related traumatic stress disorders is promising.
