AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) relate to protective factors and maladaptive coping behaviors in undergraduate students at Dalhousie University by using an anonymous online survey.* -
- Findings revealed that 42.5% of students reported three or more ACEs, which correlated with increased maladaptive coping behaviors and lower levels of hope, forgiveness, and higher stress and rumination.* -
- The results indicate that higher protective factors can lessen maladaptive behaviors among students with high ACEs, highlighting the importance of support systems.*
Article Abstract
The purpose is to examine the relationship between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), protective factors, and select maladaptive coping behaviors in postsecondary students. Undergraduate students attending Dalhousie University. An online anonymous survey was conducted. Zero order one-tailed correlations were computed to measure relationships between ACEs, levels of maladaptive coping behaviors and protective factors. A structural equation mediation model examined direct and indirect pathways between measures. 42.5% of respondents (n = 327) reported ≥3ACEs. Higher ACEs were associated with higher expression of maladaptive coping behaviors. Respondents with high ACEs and low levels of protective factors reported lower levels of hope and forgiveness and higher levels of stress and rumination. Higher levels of protective factors were associated with lower levels of maladaptive coping behaviors in students with high ACEs.

A new measure of professional caregiver coping in long-term care: The LTC COPE.
Alzheimers Dement (N Y)
December 2024
Introduction: The professional caregiver workforce (nursing assistants and personal care aides) is critical to quality of care and quality of life in nursing home (NH) and assisted living (AL) settings. The work is highly stressful, so improving responses to stress in this workforce could contribute to satisfaction and retention. This research developed a coping measure appropriate for the diverse professional caregiver workforce.

Alzheimers Dement (N Y)
December 2024
Introduction: Professional caregivers (nursing assistants and personal care aides) in nursing homes (NH) and assisted living (AL) provide the majority of long-term residential care for persons with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Their work is stressful, but until recently, no measures were available to assess stress in this workforce. Using the new Long-Term Care Cope (LTC COPE) scale, this study evaluates the relationship of coping with staff demographic characteristics and outcomes; the findings can be used to develop and evaluate interventions to improve staff well-being.

Brain Behav
January 2025
Rehabilitation Psychology, Health Science Center, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas, USA.
Introduction: This extensive literature review investigates the relationship between post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD), focusing on the neurobiological changes associated with their co-occurrence. Given that these disorders frequently coexist, we analyze mechanisms through which alcohol serves as a coping strategy for PTSD symptoms, particularly highlighting the drinking-to-cope self-medication model, which suggests that alcohol use exacerbates PTSD symptoms and complicates recovery.
Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted across multiple databases, including PubMed and Google Scholar, to identify studies examining the intersection of the biopsychosocial model with PTSD, AUD, and associated neural alterations.
