Abstract

Background

Wars, in addition to causing death and destruction, have a negative impact on mental health, especially on perinatal women. The literature has identified psychological trauma as one of the most prevalent mental health issues associated with wars, but few studies have summarized how to assess, prevent, or treat this problem in perinatal women. To address this gap, the purpose of this study is to provide a narrative review of the current state of assessment, prevention, and treatment interventions of trauma among perinatal women living in war conditions or displaced as a result of a war.

Method

A literature search was performed in different research databases (e.g., Medline, PsycInfo). The search terms include a combination of trauma and stressor-related disorders and focused on diagnosis, prevention, and treatment.

Results

Most of the results were related to post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) more than acute stress disorder, although there are not many assessments, and interventions (prevention or treatment) dedicated specifically to perinatal women affected by war conditions.

Conclusion

Research in this area is still scarce. Recommendations for evidence-based practices in assessment and prevention and treatment interventions and future directions in research and clinical practice are provided.

Highlights

• The literature on trauma in perinatal women is sparse, and especially among perinatal women living in conditions of war.
• This paper presents a narrative review of evidence-based assessment and treatment for perinatal women victims of war who experience trauma.

Stumme Schlaganfälle − ein häufiger Nebenbefund im Kopf-CT?

In 4% der in der Notfallambulanz initiierten zerebralen Bildgebung sind „alte“ Schlaganfälle zu erkennen. Gar nicht so selten handelt es sich laut einer aktuellen Studie dabei um unbemerkte Insulte. Bietet sich hier womöglich die Chance auf ein effektives opportunistisches Screening?

Migräne verstehen und psychotherapeutisch behandeln

Das Wissen über die Mechanismen, die im Gehirn bei einer Migräneattacke ablaufen, und mögliche Auslöser wird immer breiter. Der psychologische Psychotherapeut Dr. Dipl.-Psych. Timo Klan fasst den aktuellen Erkenntnisstand zusammen. Und er gibt Tipps für eine differenzierte, individuelle Diagnostik auch von Begleiterkrankungen und beschreibt erfolgreiche psychotherapeutische Interventionen.

Gefahr von Hirnblutungen: DOAK riskanter als ASS?

Aus Angst vor Blutungen wird Patienten mit Vorhofflimmern nicht selten ASS anstelle einer Antikoagulation verordnet. Zumindest im Hinblick auf intrakranielle Blutungen bietet ASS jedoch nicht mehr Sicherheit als direkte orale Antikoagulanzien, zeigt eine Metaanalyse.

Die beste Medizin gegen Altersdepression: Laufen, Lernen, Lachen, Lieben

Depressionen im Alter haben vielfältige Ursachen und verlaufen anders als bei jungen Menschen. Ohne einen multimodalen Ansatz kommt man oft nicht weit: Neben Medikamenten und Psychotherapien ist die physische, kognitive und soziale Aktivierung entscheidend.
