Komplexe Posttraumatische Belastungsstörung und arbeitsbezogene Verhaltens- und Erlebensmuster

2021 
OBJECTIVE This study examined differences in work-related behavioral and experiential patterns between patients with positive screening for complex PTSD (CPTSD), patients with positive screening for PTSD and patients with negative screening for trauma sequelae. METHODS Participants were 566 patients (mean age 50.96 +/- 8.73 years; 70.3 % female) of a psychosomatic rehabilitation clinic. Self-reported screening instruments were administered to participants at the beginning of their inpatient psychotherapy. Univariate analyses of variance were used to assess group differences in work-related experience- and behavioral patterns. The instrument identifies 11 dimensions of health-promoting or -endangering behavior and experiences in coping with work and occupational demands. RESULTS On 8 of 11 work-related dimensions, significant differences were found between the groups "without PTSD" and "CPTSD". The "PTSD" and "CPTSD" groups differed significantly on the dimensions of "resignation tendencies", "offensive coping" and "life satisfaction". The groups "without PTSD" and "PTSD" did not differ significantly. DISCUSSION Patients with a positive CPTSD screening represent a particularly burdened patient group in the working context. They reported problematic behavior and experience patterns that correspond to the problem areas of self-organization described in the diagnostic criteria of the ICD-11. CONCLUSION This suggests that for patients with CPTSD special interventions within the context of medical-professional oriented rehabilitation are useful to compensate these deficits and maintain participation in working life.
