Trauma echoes: factors associated with peritraumatic distress and anxiety five days following Iranian missile attack on Israel by Boaz M. Ben-David, Tchelet E. Bressler, Lia Ring, Ortal Shimon-Raz, Yuval Palgi

“…Specifically, we examined the prevalence and factors associated with two precursors for later development of PTSD, peritraumatic distress (PD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).Methods: Five-hundred and fifty-three participants (Mage = 57.51, SD = 13.67 years, range [30–90], 48.3% females) reported their distal and proximal exposure to traumatic events, probable PTSD due to Israel-Hamas-War, sleeping troubles, and media information consumption during the event.Results: Logistic regressions indicated that, after adjusting for demographics, clinical levels of PD and GAD (respectively, using the accepted cutoffs) were significantly linked to probable PTSD due to the Israel-Hamas War (PD:OR = 4.066, 95%CI: 2.236–7.393, p < .001; GAD:OR = 2.397, 95%CI: 1.285–4.471, p = .006), sleeping troubles (PD:OR = 1.248, 95%CI: 1.186–1.314, p < .001; GAD:OR = 1.325, 95%CI: 1.242–1.413, p < .001) and media consumption (PD:OR = 1.442, 95%CI:1.17–1.777, p = .001; GAD:OR = 1.515, 95%CI: 1.144–2.007, p = .004), but not to previous trauma (life-long exposure or Israel-Hamas war).Discussion: Results suggest that previous psychopathology, stress-related reactions (sleeping) and actions (media consumption), rather than previous exposures to traumatic events are the primary indices related to PD and GAD in the first days after exposure to war-related traumatic events. …”

Analysis of factors influencing HPV vaccination intention among Chinese college students: structural equation modeling based on health belief theory by Shi-Yuan Song, Ying Guo, Yi-Hua Li, Zheng Wang, Wei Gao

“…In terms of health behaviors, the rate of positive behaviors was low (40.0%), and the probability of positive behaviors was significantly lower for students with nonmedical-related majors than for those with medical majors (OR = 0.579, 95% CI = 0.442–0.759). The results of the structural equation modeling analysis revealed that college students’ perceptions of the perceived benefits of the HPV vaccine positively and directly affect their willingness to be vaccinated (β = 0.290, p &lt; 0.001), and perceived severity has an indirect effect on their willingness to be vaccinated (β = 0.198, p &lt; 0.05).ConclusionAlthough college students in ethnic minority areas have a high rate of HPV-related knowledge, their willingness to be actively vaccinated and their positive behaviors need to be improved. …”
