Abstract

Consistent with the cognitive-behavioral model of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), research has found associations among posttraumatic cognitions, avoidance coping, and posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS). Less is known, however, about the occurrence of these relationships in the context of “armed and dangerous person” university lockdowns that affect campus communities at large. This cross-sectional study evaluated predictors of PTSS following two sequential lockdowns. In the aftermath of these lockdowns, campus community members (N = 287) completed self-report measures assessing posttraumatic cognitions, avoidance coping, and PTSS. Results indicated that posttraumatic cognitions involving negative views of oneself or the world (but not self-blame), avoidance coping, and physical proximity were positively associated with PTSS. These relationships remained robust after controlling for general distress and retrospectively reported peritraumatic fear. Findings are interpreted and discussed in light of conceptual models of PTSD and provide paths for early screening of those experiencing community-wide stressors, such as university lockdowns.

两次“武装和危险人物”校园封锁后与创伤后应激症状相关的认知行为因素

与创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的认知-行为模型一致，研究发现创伤后认知、回避应对和创伤后应激症状（PTSS）之间存在关联。然而，在影响整个校园社区的“武装和危险人物”大学封锁的背景下，人们对这些关系的发生知之甚少。本横断面研究评估了两次连续锁定后PTSS的预测因素。在这些封锁之后，校园社区成员（N = 287）完成了评估创伤后认知、回避应对和创伤后应激障碍的自我报告措施。结果表明，创伤后认知包括对自己或世界的消极看法（但不包括自责）、回避应对和身体接近与创伤后应激障碍呈正相关。在控制了一般痛苦和回顾性报告的创伤后恐惧后，这些关系仍然稳固。研究结果根据创伤后应激障碍的概念模型进行了解释和讨论，并为早期筛查那些经历社区压力源（如大学封锁）的人提供了途径。

期刊介绍： Behavior Therapy is a quarterly international journal devoted to the application of the behavioral and cognitive sciences to the conceptualization, assessment, and treatment of psychopathology and related clinical problems. It is intended for mental health professionals and students from all related disciplines who wish to remain current in these areas and provides a vehicle for scientist-practitioners and clinical scientists to report the results of their original empirical research. Although the major emphasis is placed upon empirical research, methodological and theoretical papers as well as evaluative reviews of the literature will also be published. Controlled single-case designs and clinical replication series are welcome.
