Abstract

The main aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms (PTSS) and rumination (intrusive and deliberate) in individuals who experienced a traumatic event at different times. In particular, to better understand the possible mechanisms underlying the association between PTSS and rumination, the study aimed to explore whether the time since the traumatic event could serve as a moderator of the relationship between PTSS and rumination. To achieve this objective, 601 participants were recruited using a snowballing strategy and were asked to complete the PTSD Checklist for the DSM-5 and the Event-Related Rumination Inventory. Results of regression analyses showed that intrusive rumination was associated with the presence of PTSS regardless of the time since the event. Conversely, deliberate rumination was found to be significantly related to the presence of PTSS, but this association was moderated by time. From a clinical point of view, it appears particularly useful, when treating an individual with PTSS, to consider not only the type of trauma and the time elapsed since the event but also the type of cognitive re-elaboration that the individual enacts.

创伤后应激症状与反刍：时间的调节作用。

本研究的主要目的是评估在不同时间经历创伤性事件的个体创伤后应激症状（PTSS）与反刍（侵入性和故意性）之间的关系。特别是，为了更好地理解创伤后应激障碍与反刍之间可能的关联机制，本研究旨在探讨创伤事件发生后的时间是否可以作为创伤后应激障碍与反刍之间关系的调节因子。为了实现这一目标，采用滚雪球策略招募了601名参与者，并要求他们完成DSM-5中的PTSD清单和事件相关反刍清单。回归分析的结果显示，侵入性反刍与创伤后应激障碍的存在有关，与事件发生后的时间无关。相反，刻意反刍被发现与ptsd的存在显著相关，但这种关联随着时间的推移而减弱。从临床角度来看，在治疗ptsd患者时，不仅要考虑创伤的类型和事件发生后经过的时间，还要考虑个体行为的认知重新阐述的类型，这似乎特别有用。

期刊介绍： Psychology, Health & Medicine is a multidisciplinary journal highlighting human factors in health. The journal provides a peer reviewed forum to report on issues of psychology and health in practice. This key publication reaches an international audience, highlighting the variation and similarities within different settings and exploring multiple health and illness issues from theoretical, practical and management perspectives. It provides a critical forum to examine the wide range of applied health and illness issues and how they incorporate psychological knowledge, understanding, theory and intervention. The journal reflects the growing recognition of psychosocial issues as they affect health planning, medical care, disease reaction, intervention, quality of life, adjustment adaptation and management. For many years theoretical research was very distant from applied understanding. The emerging movement in health psychology, changes in medical care provision and training, and consumer awareness of health issues all contribute to a growing need for applied research. This journal focuses on practical applications of theory, research and experience and provides a bridge between academic knowledge, illness experience, wellbeing and health care practice.
