Experiencing a traumatic event is very common, with lifetime self-reported exposure rates estimated at 70.4% worldwide and up to 89.7% in the United States. These elevated rates of exposure are problematic, as affected individuals may develop traumatic stress reactions such as acute stress disorder (ASD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Although ASD and PTSD list similar symptoms, important differences distinguish the two. ASD is often used to facilitate access to treatment in the immediate aftermath of a traumatic event since its diagnosis is limited to the acute phase (3\u201330 days) In contrast, PTSD can only be diagnosed if symptoms persist past the initial 30 days.<\/p>\n
Objectives<\/strong><\/p>\n The aims of the present systematic review and meta-analysis are (1) to consolidate and describe ASD rates associated with different types of traumatic events and (2) to explore the influence of selected methodological and trauma-related factors on these rates. This study represents the first systematic review and meta-analysis on the subject since the introduction of the ASD diagnosis in 1994.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Results<\/strong><\/p>\n Results revealed that ASD rates ranged from 14.1% for war-related trauma to 36.0% following interpersonal trauma (e.g., sexual abuse), with accident-related trauma (15.9%), life-threatening illness (20.7%), and disaster-related trauma (21.9%) falling in between.<\/p>\n Interpersonal trauma was significantly more likely to lead to ASD than other types of events, except for disaster-related trauma. The present results are consistent with previous studies that have shown that persons exposed to interpersonal trauma are at higher risk of developing post-traumatic sequelae such as PTSD. With that being said, exposure to interpersonal violence should be considered a risk factor for the development of ASD and should be included in clinical screening practices.<\/p>\n Authors :\u00a0Steve Geoffrion<\/a>, Jane Goncalves<\/a>, Isabelle Robichaud<\/a>, Josette Sader<\/a>, Charles-\u00c9douard Gigu\u00e8re<\/a>, Maxime Fortin<\/a>, Josianne Lamothe<\/a>, Paquito Bernard<\/a>, and St\u00e9phane Guay<\/a>.(2022)<\/p>\n Full article : https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full\/10.1177\/1524838020933844<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Experiencing a traumatic event is very common, with lifetime self-reported exposure rates estimated at 70.4% worldwide and up to 89.7% in the United States.
