| Abstract [eng] |
The European Society for Traumatic Studies (ESTSS) launched a longitudinal European study on the mental health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (https://estss.org/adjust). In this symposium, longitudinal findings from different countries will be presented. The first presentation (Lotzin) will provide insights into associations between pandemic-related stressors and risk factors for PTSD across eleven countries. The second (Mooren), third (Grajewski) and fourth (Ajduković) talks will convey findings on mental health trajectories in the Dutch, Polish, and Croatian populations, respectively. The fifth presentation (Arnberg) will present Swedish data that indicate potential mental-health recovery between pandemic waves, while the sixth presentation (Figueiredo-Braga) will discuss findings on the associations between coping and symptoms of adjustment disorder in the Portuguese population. The last presentation (ZrnićNovaković) will report qualitative data on pandemic-related experiences in five European countries. The implications of the findings for research and clinical practice for the current and future pandemics will be discussed. |
