{"title":"Insomnia, Depression and Anxiety as Associated by Traumatic Events, Coping Strategies and Coping Resources among Internally Displaced Adolescents in North-East Nigeria","authors":"David Onyekachi Prince","doi":"10.23880/pprij-16000210","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.23880/pprij-16000210","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Internally displaced adolescents (IDAs) in Nigeria are a high risk group for mental health problems. More knowledge is needed about the associations between traumatic events, coping strategies, coping resources (social support and optimism) and mental health problems (insomnia, depression, and anxiety) in this group. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a disproportionate stratified sampling strategy was used to select 109 adolescents (10-21 years of age) from an internally displaced persons camp, while a purposive sample was used to recruit 27 IDAs in non-camp setting. Insomnia Severity Index, Revised Children’s Anxiety, Depression Scale, Harvard Trauma Questionnaire Part I, Coping Style Questions, Crisis Support Scale, and Life Orientation Test were used. Results: Significant negative correlations were observed between whom respondents are living with and depression, while their needs positively correlated with insomnia, depression and anxiety. There was significant positive relationship between traumatic events score and insomnia, depression and anxiety. Problem and emotion-focused coping were associated with lower levels of insomnia. Whereas problem, emotion, avoidance-focused coping and social support were associated with lower levels of depression and anxiety symptoms. In hierarchical analysis, traumatic events contributed 51% variance on insomnia, 47% on depression and 45% on anxiety. Addition of coping strategies and coping resources significantly explained insomnia (7% versus 1%), depression (21% versus 3%), and anxiety (24% versus 5%). Conclusion: There is a need for intervention to integrate problem, emotion and avoidance focused coping alongside with adequate social support in adjustment of IDA’s mental health problems.","PeriodicalId":165287,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Psychological Research International Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130485653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some of them specialized in it and made a systematic study of psychological diseases and their treatment. After the rise of Islam the Arab-Muslim physicians made trmendous progress in all branches of medicine including psychotherapy. Inspired and influenced by the Quranic psychotherapy-related teachings, they richly contributed to both the learning and teaching of medicine including psychiatry. They also introduced the psychotherapeutic means of treatment in the hospitals built and maintained by them. They also exerted a lasting influence on medicine and psychotherapy in the West through translations of their works in Latin and other European languages. But while their achievements in the fields of general medicine, pharmacy and surgery are adequately acknowledged by some historians of medicine, their contribution to the development of psychotherapy is comparatively little known even to the educated and cultured few all over the world. Some basic features of it are briefly introduced below.","PeriodicalId":165287,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Psychological Research International Journal","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133271458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
