Resumen

El programa Warrior PATHH (WP) mejoró significativamente el crecimiento postraumático (PTG) y redujo los síntomas de TEPT en los veteranos en comparación con un control de lista de espera. Este estudio pone de relieve la

Área de la Ciencia:

Psicología
Estudios sobre el trauma
Salud militar y de los veteranos

Sus antecedentes:

Los veteranos militares corren un alto riesgo de exposición al trauma y los desafíos de salud mental posteriores.
El crecimiento postraumático (PTG) representa un cambio psicológico positivo después de la adversidad.
El trastorno de estrés postraumático (TEPT) es una condición prevalente entre los veteranos.
El programa Warrior PATHH (WP) es una iniciativa de crecimiento postraumático diseñada para veteranos.

Objetivo del estudio:

Evaluar la efectividad del programa Warrior PATHH (WP) en la mejora de los resultados del crecimiento postraumático (PTG).
Evaluar el impacto del programa de trabajo en la reducción de los síntomas del trastorno de estrés postraumático (TEPT).
Para comparar la eficacia del programa WP con un grupo de control de la lista de espera.

Principales métodos:

Diseño retrospectivo de un estudio cuasi-experimental.
164 veteranos del ejército de EE.UU. con antecedentes de trauma participaron.
Los participantes fueron asignados al programa Warrior PATHH o a un control de lista de espera.
Resultados primarios (PTG y síntomas de TEPT) medidos con PTGI-X y PCL-5 al inicio y al seguimiento de 90 días.
Los resultados secundarios incluyeron el funcionamiento psicosocial, la depresión, la ansiedad, el sueño, el bienestar y el apoyo social.

Principales resultados:

El grupo Warrior PATHH mostró aumentos estadísticamente significativos en el crecimiento postraumático (PTGI-X) en comparación con el grupo de lista de espera (p < .001).
El grupo Warrior PATHH demostró una reducción significativa de los síntomas de TEPT (PCL-5) en comparación con el grupo de lista de espera (p < 0,001).
Los participantes en el programa WP también mostraron mejoras en el funcionamiento psicosocial.

Conclusiones:

El programa Warrior PATHH es efectivo para fomentar el crecimiento postraumático (PTG) entre los veteranos.
El programa WP conduce a disminuciones significativas en los síntomas de TEPT y mejoras generales en el funcionamiento psicosocial.
Este estudio proporciona la primera evidencia comparativa de los efectos de WP en una muestra de veteranos en lista de espera.

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric condition that arises following exposure to traumatic events such as natural disasters, forced displacement, or severe accidents. It significantly impairs individuals' ability to cope with daily activities and disrupts their emotional and psychological equilibrium.
Symptoms and Behavioral Manifestations
A spectrum of distressing symptoms characterizes PTSD. Recurrent flashbacks, where individuals involuntarily relive traumatic events,...

Traumatic Memory

Traumatic Memory

Emotionally traumatic events often lead to memories that are exceptionally vivid and enduring, sometimes persisting with remarkable clarity throughout an individual's life. A classic example of this phenomenon is a person who survives a car accident. Even years later, they may recall every detail of the event with startling accuracy — the screeching of the tires, the jarring impact, and the acrid smell of burning rubber. Such vividness contrasts sharply with how an individual...

Cognitive Dissonance

Cognitive Dissonance

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Robbers Cave

Robbers Cave

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Emotionally, it can manifest as anxiety, depression, irritability, and anger triggered by both minor and major life events. Cognitively, it may result in difficulty in concentration, memory, and...
