Objective: This study examined the contributions of shame and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms to two dimensions of social problem-solving.
Method: A sample of 426 women who were seeking mental health assistance following experiences of intimate partner violence completed self-report and clinician measures. Separate path analyses were conducted for problem orientation and problem-solving styles.
Results: In the model examining problem orientation, higher levels of shame were significantly associated with lower levels of positive problem orientation (f = 0.32) and higher levels of negative problem orientation (f = 0.92), with large effects noted. PTSD symptoms were significantly, positively associated with negative problem orientation (f = 0.3, large effect). When examining problem-solving styles, shame showed a significant negative association with rational style (f = 0.08, small effect) and significant positive associations with impulsive style (f = 0.45, large effect) and avoidant style (f = 0.48, large effect). PTSD symptoms did not return significant associations with any of the three problem-solving styles.
Conclusion: Results indicate that shame holds notable associations with both dimensions of social problem-solving, relative to PTSD symptoms, and are discussed in light of current models of post-trauma functioning. Implications for clinical care and early intervention efforts are highlighted.

Engagement with traditional mental health services can be particularly challenging for young people experiencing severe and complex mental health problems. Assertive community treatment-based services providing mobile outreach, such as Intensive Mobile Youth Outreach Services (IMYOS), operate across Australia to support these young people's mental health needs in the transition to adulthood. Past research on IMYOS has focused on quantitative outcome measures, and young people's experiences of this type of model are poorly understood.

Fraud in medical insurance is a serious problem that threatens the safety and sustainability of medical insurance funds. The process of reducing or even eliminating the impact of fraud is related to maintaining the balance of payments for medical insurance funds and reforming the payment system based on total amount control. As a result of reviewing the policy background of medical insurance fraud in China, combined with the policy evaluation model in the area of public management, this paper develops a conceptual framework of 'Antecedents-Process-Outcomes' that emphasizes the fraud and governance of medical insurance funds.
