To explore posttraumatic stress symptoms and current psychopathology in a binational sample of Croatian and German participants with severe mental illness.
We studied 178 inpatients from the ...Greifswald University (German patients, n=89) and University Hospital Zagreb and Ivan Barbot Neuropsychiatric Hospital (Croatian patients, n=89) with either major depression (n=150), schizophrenia (n=26), or bipolar disorder (n=2). Measurements included Posttraumatic Diagnostic Scale and the Symptom Check List-90-R. Participants were matched according to age, sex, and diagnosis.
Croatians reported significantly more war traumatic events (64/82 vs 5/74, chi(2)(1)=77.142, P<0.001) and significantly more Croatians met the criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder (55/89 vs 27/89, chi(2)(1)=17.73, P<0.001). They also suffered from a higher level of psychopathological distress as they scored significantly higher at all Symptom Check List-90-R revised version subscales (P<0.001). The regression models demonstrated that predictors of general psychopathological distress were war trauma (P<0.001), posttraumatic stress disorder (P<0.001), and diagnosis (P=0.01).
This is the first study comparing the impact of war trauma on psychopathology of participants with severe mental illness between two nations. Our results clearly indicate the importance of trauma assessment in subjects with severe mental illness, particularly in post-conflict settings.
Psihosocijalna podrška je socijalna usluga koja podrazumijeva psihosocijalnu rehabilitaciju koja potiče razvoj kognitivnih, funkcionalnih, komunikacijskih ili socijalnih vještina korisnika. Može se ...pružati individualno i u grupi. Obično se pruža kod pružatelja usluga ili u obitelji korisnika. U ovom radu prikazat ću iskustva pružanja psihosocijalne podrške roditeljima djece i mladih osoba s teškoćama u razvoju koje su pružene u raznim područjima Sisačko- moslavačke županije tijekom 2019. i 2020. godine. Također ću prikazati sažete rezultate primjene Skale kvalitete života MANSA koju su roditelji ispunjavali na početku uključivanja u ovaj oblik usluge, te godinu dana nakon pružanja iste. U ovom kratkom prikazu sudjelovalo je 45 osoba, nešto više žena (majki) nego muškaraca (očeva), a prosječna dob ispitanika bila je 37 godina. Iz dobivenih rezultata je vidljivo da su se usluge psihosocijalne podrške pozitivno reflektirale na samo-procjenu kvalitete života roditelja – osobito na česticama zadovoljstva svojim životom, kvalitetom i brojem prijateljstava i zadovoljstvom odnosima s članovima obitelji.
Psychosocial support is a social service that involves psychosocial rehabilitation that encourages the development of cognitive, functional, communicational or social skills of users. It can be ...provided individually or in a group. It is usually provided by the service provider or the user’s family. In this paper, I will present the experiences of providing psychosocial support to parents of children and young people with disabilities that were provided in various areas of Sisak-Moslavina County during 2019 and 2020. I will also present the summary results of the application of the MANSA Quality of Life Scale that parents filled at the beginning of inclusion in this form of service, and one year after the provision of the same. This short survey involved 45 people, slightly more women (mothers) than men (fathers), and the average age of the respondents was 37 years. The results show that psychosocial support services had a positive effect on self-assessment of the quality of life of parents - especially on the particles of satisfaction with their lives, quality and number of friendships and satisfaction with relationships with family members.
