Several studies have demonstrated a significant association between dissociation and posttraumatic symptoms. A dissociative reaction during a traumatic event may seem to predict the later development of posttraumatic stress symptoms. Moreover, several researchers also observed an alexithymic condition in a variety of traumatized samples.
A total of 287 flood victims (men =159, 55.4%; women =128, 44.6%) with an age range of 17-21 years (mean =18.33; standard deviation =0.68) completed the following: Impact of Event Scale-Revised, Dissociative Experiences Scale II, Twenty-Item Toronto Alexithymia Scale, and Peritraumatic Dissociative Experiences Questionnaire.
We found significant correlations among all variables. Linear regression showed that peritraumatic dissociation plays a mediator role between alexithymia, dissociation, and post-traumatic stress symptoms.
Our results seem to confirm the significant roles of both dissociation and alexithymia for the development of posttraumatic symptoms.
多项研究表明分离与创伤后症状之间存在显著关联。创伤事件中的分离反应似乎可预测创伤后应激症状的后期发展。此外,几位研究人员还在各种受创伤样本中观察到述情障碍状况。
共有287名年龄在17至21岁之间(平均=18.33;标准差=0.68)的洪灾受害者(男性=159人,占55.4%;女性=128人,占44.6%)完成了以下测试:事件影响量表修订版、分离体验量表II、多伦多述情障碍20项量表以及创伤期间分离体验问卷。
我们发现所有变量之间均存在显著相关性。线性回归表明,创伤期间的分离在述情障碍、分离与创伤后应激症状之间起中介作用。
我们的结果似乎证实了分离和述情障碍在创伤后症状发展中的重要作用。
