Resiliance and Health - 26th Conference of the European Health Psychology Society, Prague, Czech Republic, 21st - 25th August 2012 ; The military participants in Peace Operations are exposed to adverse and potentially traumatic situations that can have consequences on mental health. With the Iraq and Afghanistan wars,have taken place several studies in order to assess the military returning from these conflicts. This research aimed to assess the prevalence of PostTraumatic Stress Disorder and associated pathology in a sample of 241 portuguese militaries engaged in Peace Operations in 2011 (Kosovo and Afghanistan) and to understand the relation between psychosocial variables and PTSD. The evaluation methods used in this study were the traumatic event (PCL-M), emotional adjustment (SCL-90-R), self-esteem (SERTHUAL), coping (ETC) and social support (MDSS). The results showed that 34% of the militaries were exposed to traumatic events, 5% were in the PTSD criteria and 15% revealed significant PTSD symptomatology. Furthermore, this study intends to contribute to the implementation of preventive programmes and monitoring military intervention of referenced with PTSD.

AbstractFocused and time‐limited intervention is an effective method of treatment of persons who have experienced such traumatic life events as bereavement or the personal experience of violence.

The conflict in Vietnam has ceased, but for many veterans the hostilities remain in terms of problems ranging from nightmares to inability to cope with a nonhostile environment. The veterans are beginning to emerge from a postwar underground life-style to seek help; working with them requires special treatment skill and understanding.

Background: Studies about stress disorders following a disaster have mainly been based on single-event trauma with little emphasis on multiple traumas. Aims: This study investigated the prevalence and predictors of stress disorders following two earthquakes in China. Methods: Subjects were randomly sampled from 11 villages in rural China. A total of 624 subjects were administered with the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), Symptom Checklist -90-R (SCL-90-R), Coping Style Scale and Social Support Rating Scale. This was followed by a structural clinical interview using the Chinese translation of the Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM)-IV-TR axis 1 disorders (SCID-I-P) for acute stress disorder (ASD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Results: The prevalence of ASD and PTSD was 15% and 29%, respectively. Regression analysis indicated that high intensity of trauma exposure, lower educational level, subjective feeling of economic status and psychological stress after the first earthquake significantly predicted the outcome of PTSD. Conclusions: The study suggested that the prevalence of stress disorders in two earthquakes were higher than that experienced in a single disaster. The intensity of trauma exposure, low educational level, bad subjective feeling of economic status, and psychological stress after the first earthquake could be used to identify survivors at risk of developing PTSD in two earthquakes.

The objective: to form classification of stress- associative and post-traumatic stress disorders on the base of analysis of their existing theoretical and empirical studies. Through the use of a content analysis of theoretical and empirical studies, the features of the formation and development of various manifestations of post-traumatic personality stress disorders and combat mental trauma are considered. A holistic classification of post-traumatic stress disorders is proposed, depending on: the variant and stage of development, the type of course, clinical or psychological manifestations, the time of the course, the results and degrees of severity. It has been established that the development of post-traumatic stress disorders affects: the duration of a crisis situation, terrain, primorbid, history of life, the type of individual reaction to the crisis situation itself, the motivation of which the soldier consciously (or unconsciously) goes to war, micro and macrosocium, information effects, the influence of the media, individual experience gained, both practical and theoretical, social and psychological support, the influence of chemical agents (drugs, chemical ix). The final stage of the development of post-traumatic stress disorders may be the formation of post-traumatic personality disorder, as its extreme manifestation
