Abstract

Exposure to war is linked to negative mental health outcomes. Self-compassion and emotional intelligence may foster post-war adjustment processes differently depending on the time since the event happened. This study examines post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) in civilians exposed to the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war shortly after and 6 months post-conflict, while investigating self-compassion and emotional intelligence's protective role. War-exposed civilians self-reported on PTSS, self-compassion, and trait emotional intelligence at two phases. Results showed greater PTSS shortly after war relative to 6 months later. Lower self-compassion scores were related to more PTSS at the first phase, whereas lower emotional intelligence was associated with more symptoms 6 months later. These data show how war-exposed Armenians coped, highlighting individual characteristics' effects, and suggest varying resource utilization during post-war adjustment. Specifically, self-compassion may be a protective factor shortly after war, whereas emotional intelligence may protect individuals against having adverse health outcomes later on.

2020 年纳戈尔诺-卡拉巴赫战争后平民的创伤应激症状:自我同情和情商的保护作用。
战争暴露与负面心理健康结果有关。自我同情和情商可能会根据事件发生后的时间不同而促进不同的战后适应过程。本研究对 2020 年纳戈尔诺-卡拉巴赫战争后不久和冲突后 6 个月的平民创伤后应激症状(PTSS)进行了调查,同时研究了自我同情和情商的保护作用。受战争影响的平民在两个阶段对创伤后应激障碍、自我同情和特质情商进行了自我报告。结果显示,相对于 6 个月后,战后不久的创伤后应激障碍更严重。在第一阶段,较低的自我同情得分与更多的创伤后应激障碍有关,而较低的情商则与 6 个月后更多的症状有关。这些数据显示了受战争影响的亚美尼亚人是如何应对的,突出了个体特征的影响,并表明在战后适应过程中对资源的利用各不相同。具体而言,自我同情可能是战后不久的一个保护因素,而情商则可能保护个人避免日后出现不良健康后果。
