Article Synopsis
- People with social anxiety face vulnerabilities related to how they see themselves, their emotions, and how they think and remember things.
- Research on social anxiety looks at personal feelings (like emotions) and social behaviors (like getting along with others) to understand what makes it hard for people to connect.
- To make progress, researchers from different fields need to work together and share ideas about social anxiety.
Background: It is well documented that public safety personnel are exposed to potentially traumatic events (PTEs) at elevated frequency and demonstrate higher prevalence of trauma-related symptoms compared to the general population. Lesser studied to date are the organizational consequences of workplace PTE exposure and associated mental health outcomes such as acute/posttraumatic stress disorder (ASD/PTSD), depression, and anxiety.
Methods: The present review synthesizes international literature on work outcomes in public safety personnel (PSP) to explore whether and how PTE and trauma-related symptoms relate to workplace outcomes.
Background: Although numerous studies have reported on PTSD prevalence in high-risk occupational samples, previous meta-analytic work has been severely limited by the extreme variability in prevalence outcomes.
Methods: The present systematic review and meta-regression examined methodological sources of variability in PTSD outcomes across the literature on high-risk personnel with a specific focus on measurement tool selection.
Results: The pooled global prevalence of PTSD in high-risk personnel was 12.
Background: Professionals working in the emergency department (ED) are regularly exposed to traumatic events. Rates of posttraumatic mental health conditions vary widely in the literature and there is no agreement that rates in ED staff are elevated relative to other populations.
Objective: We conducted a systematic review of international literature reporting prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety in ED personnel to determine whether prevalence is elevated compared to the general community, and to evaluate convergent evidence across the literature for predictive factors.
Background: Several challenges, e.g. global trade, population growth, and climate change create future challenges for food production and food safety.
