Exposure to traumatic events and emotion regulation were examined as predictors of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) among women seeking medical treatment for infertility. Emotion regulation difficulties were hypothesized to moderate the association between traumatic events and PTSS severity. Sixty-six participants completed the Trauma History Questionnaire, Posttraumatic Check List for DSM-5, and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale. Regression analyses were conducted. Emotion regulation difficulties predicted PTSS. The interaction between lifetime exposure to traumatic events and emotion regulation significantly predicted PTSS ( = 0.02, = 0.002) and the model accounted for 31% of the variance in symptoms. Among women pursuing medical fertility treatment with past exposure to traumatic events, brief interventions that enhance emotional regulation skills may decrease PTSS.
创伤事件暴露和情绪调节被视为寻求医学治疗不孕症的女性创伤后应激症状(PTSS)的预测因素。假设情绪调节困难会调节创伤事件与 PTSS 严重程度之间的关联。66 名参与者完成了创伤史问卷、DSM-5 后创伤检查表和情绪调节困难量表。进行了回归分析。情绪调节困难预测了 PTSS。一生中暴露于创伤事件和情绪调节之间的相互作用显著预测了 PTSS( = 0.02, = 0.002),该模型解释了症状变异的 31%。对于过去经历过创伤事件并正在接受医学生育治疗的女性,增强情绪调节技能的简短干预措施可能会降低 PTSS。
