Abstract

Long after terrorist attacks, victims may experience both trauma-related symptoms and levels of psychological well-being. This paper aimed to examine: (1) the relationship between overall PTSD and well-being; and (2) the associations among different PTSD symptom clusters, well-being, and daily functioning in 87 adult victims of jihadist and nationalist separatist terrorism in Madrid and Andalusia. The Posttraumatic Stress Questionnaire and the Psychological Well-being Questionnaire were administered. The findings revealed a significant negative correlation between PTSD symptoms and well-being. Among the PTSD symptoms, intrusions were the most prevalent, while alterations in mood and cognition, as well as alterations in arousal and reactivity were the most distressing. These latter symptoms also showed the strongest correlations with well-being and daily functioning. Multivariate analyses indicated that symptoms related to mood/cognition and arousal/reactivity uniquely predicted variance in well-being. This study highlights how different PTSD symptom clusters are related to well-being, suggesting important implications for targeted interventions.

西班牙恐怖主义幸存者的创伤和福祉。

在恐怖袭击发生很久之后，受害者可能会经历与创伤相关的症状和心理健康水平。本研究旨在探讨：(1)创伤后应激障碍总体与幸福感的关系；(2)马德里和安达卢西亚地区87名圣战主义和民族分裂主义恐怖主义成年受害者的PTSD不同症状群、幸福感和日常功能之间的关系。采用创伤后应激问卷和心理健康问卷。研究结果显示，PTSD症状与幸福感之间存在显著的负相关。在创伤后应激障碍的症状中，侵入是最普遍的，而情绪和认知的改变，以及觉醒和反应的改变是最令人痛苦的。后一种症状也显示出与幸福感和日常功能的最强相关性。多变量分析表明，与情绪/认知和觉醒/反应相关的症状唯一地预测了幸福感的变化。这项研究强调了不同的PTSD症状群与幸福感的关系，为有针对性的干预提供了重要的启示。
