- Abstract: Despite growing evidence in support of emotion dysregulation as a risk factor for the development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following trauma exposure, few studies have examined temporal relations between emotion dysregulation and the onset and/or worsening of PTSD symptoms over time. The aim of the present study was to extend research on temporal associations between emotion dysregulation and PTSD in a sample of individuals recruited from hospital emergency departments soon after a traumatic event. Adult participants ( N = 85; 62.4% female) completed self‐report measures of emotion dysregulation and PTSD symptoms within 2 weeks of experiencing a traumatic event. Symptoms of PTSD were assessed approximately 3 months posttrauma. The results of a hierarchical linear regression analysis demonstrated that the inclusion of emotion dysregulation accounted for a significant amount of unique variance, β = .23, Δ R 2 = .04, p = .042, in 3‐month PTSD symptom severity over and above other risk factors and baseline PTSD symptoms. No specific facet of emotion dysregulation emerged as a significant predictor of 3‐month PTSD symptoms when all facets were included on the same step of the model, βs = −.04–.33, p s = .133–.954. These results demonstrate that posttraumatic emotion dysregulation may predict PTSD symptoms 3 months after trauma exposure. These findings are consistent with a growing body of literature that speaks to the relevance of emotional processes toAbstract: Despite growing evidence in support of emotion dysregulation as a risk factor for the development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following trauma exposure, few studies have examined temporal relations between emotion dysregulation and the onset and/or worsening of PTSD symptoms over time.

Resumen: Spanish Abstracts by Asociación Chilena de Estrés Traumático (ACET) La desregulación emocional predice prospectivamente la gravedad de los síntomas del TEPT 3 meses después de la exposición traumática LA DESREGULACIÓN EMOCIONAL PREDICE LOS SÍNTOMAS DE TEPT POSTERIORES A pesar de la creciente evidencia que respalda la desregulación emocional como factor de riesgo para el desarrollo del trastorno de estrés postraumático (TEPT) después de la exposición a un trauma, pocos estudios han examinado las relaciones temporales entre la desregulación de las emociones y la aparición y / o empeoramiento de los síntomas de TEPT con el tiempo. El objetivo del presente estudio fue ampliar la investigación sobre las asociaciones temporales entre la desregulación emocional y el trastorno de estrés postraumático en una muestra de individuos reclutados en los servicios de urgencias hospitalarios poco después de un evento traumático. Los participantes adultos ( N = 85; 62, 4% mujeres) completaron medidas de autoinforme de desregulación emocional y síntomas de TEPT dentro de las 2 semanas posteriores a experimentar un evento traumático. Los síntomas de PTSD se evaluaron aproximadamente 3 meses después del trauma. Los resultados de un análisis de regresión lineal jerárquica demostraron que la inclusión de la desregulación emocional representó una cantidad significativa de varianza única, β = .23, Δ R 2 = .04, p = .042, en la gravedad de los síntomas del TEPT de 3 meses por encima de otros factores de riesgo y síntomas de PTSD basales. Ninguna faceta específica de la desregulación emocional surgió como un predictor significativo de los síntomas de TEPT a los 3 meses cuando todas las facetas se incluyeron en el mismo paso del modelo, βs = .01 – .33, p s = .133 – .954. Estos resultados demuestran que la desregulación de las emociones postraumáticas puede predecir los síntomas del TEPT 3 meses después de la exposición al trauma. Estos hallazgos son consistentes con un creciente cuerpo de literatura que habla de la relevancia de los procesos emocionales para el inicio y mantenimiento del TEPT luego de la exposición a un evento traumático. 抽象: 簡體及繁體中文撮要由亞洲創傷心理研究學會翻譯 JOTS‐19‐0184.R5 Forbes Emotion Dysregulation Prospectively Predicts PTSD Symptom Severity 3‐Months After Traumatic Exposure Traditional Chinese 標題: 情緒失調能前瞻性地預測受創三個月後創傷後壓力症的症狀嚴重度 撮要: 儘管有愈來愈多證據顯示, 在經歷創傷後, 情緒失調是發展出創傷後壓力症 (PTSD ) 的風險因素, 但少有研究檢視情緒失調與PTSD發作和/或PTSD症狀惡化的時間關連。本研究目的旨在延伸有關情緒失調與PTSD的研究, 從醫院急症室招募剛經歷了創傷事件的人參與研究。成人參加者 ( N = 85; 62.4%女性) 在經歷了創傷的兩週內, 對自己的情緒失調及PTSD症狀進行自評測量。我們亦在樣本經歷創傷約三個月後, 評估其PTSD症狀。層次迴歸分析結果顯示, 如模型包含情緒失調的話, 情緒失調可解釋三個月後的PTSD症狀嚴重度顯著的獨特方差 (β = .23, Δ R 2 = .04, p = .042), 程度遠超於其他風險因素及基線PTSD症狀。當模型同一步驟中包含所有方面的情緒失調, 則無任何方面的情緒失調是三個月後PTSD症狀嚴重度顯著的預測變量 (βs = .01−.33, p s = .133−.954) 。這些結果反映, 創傷後的情緒失調, 可能可預測個人受創三個月後的PTSD症狀。是次研究結果與其他越來越多的文獻發現一致, 都反映個人受創後, 情緒處理與PTSD的發作和維持有所關連。 Simplified Chinese 标题: 情绪失调能前瞻性地预测受创三个月后创伤后压力症的症状严重度 撮要: 尽管有愈来愈多证据显示, 在经历创伤后, 情绪失调是发展出创伤后压力症 (PTSD ) 的风险因素, 但少有研究检视情绪失调与PTSD发作和/或PTSD症状恶化的时间关连。本研究目的旨在延伸有关情绪失调与PTSD的研究, 从医院急症室招募刚经历了创伤事件的人参与研究。成人参加者 ( N = 85; 62.4%女性) 在经历了创伤的两周内, 对自己的情绪失调及PTSD症状进行自评测量。我们亦在样本经历创伤约三个月后, 评估其PTSD症状。层次回归分析结果显示, 如模型包含情绪失调的话, 情绪失调可解释三个月后的PTSD症状严重度显著的独特方差 (β = .23, Δ R 2 = .04, p = .042), 程度远超于其他风险因素及基线PTSD症状。当模型同一步骤中包含所有方面的情绪失调, 则无任何方面的情绪失调是三个月后PTSD症状严重度显著的预测变量 (βs = .01−.33, p s = .133−.954) 。这些结果反映, 创伤后的情绪失调, 可能可预测个人受创三个月后的PTSD症状。是次研究结果与其他越来越多的文献发现一致, 都反映个人受创后, 情绪处理与PTSD的发作和维持有所关连。 … (more)
