Abstract

Background: Social unrest affects people's health and well-being. People's health-related needs during social unrest are concerns in both research and clinical practice. This study aimed to build and test a framework to describe and understand the health status and needs of people with pos...

People's health-related needs during social unrest are concerns in both research and clinical practice. This study aimed to build and test a framework to describe and understand the health status and needs of people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) during social unrest.Methods: This study was a cross-sectional survey. A total of 460 people who had experienced post-traumatic distress as a result of the social unrest in 2019 and 2020 were included. A conceptual model comprised four essential areas, namely posttraumatic distress symptoms, participation restrictions, perceived stigma and functional disability, was built from literature. Part 1 validated four instruments that evaluate and define the factor structure of these four areas, In Part II, structural equation modeling was used to test and validate a combined model.Results: Factors underlying the four areas were defined. Analysis using structural equation modeling confirmed a best fit of the model. PTSD symptoms, perceived stigma and participation restriction during social unrest contributed significantly to functional disability; PTSD symptoms exerted a direct effect on participation restriction and perceived stigma; and the effect of PTSD symptoms on functional disability was mediated through its influence on perceived stigma during social unrest.Conclusions: A community-based inclusive approach is essential to understand the holistic needs of people with PTSD during social unrest. To improve health and well-being in addition to evaluating mental health impacts, considering interactions with the rapid change and stressful social environment is essential.</abstract><type>Journal Article</type><journal>Frontiers in Public Health</journal><volume>10</volume><journalNumber/><paginationStart/><paginationEnd/><publisher>Frontiers Media SA</publisher><placeOfPublication/><isbnPrint/><isbnElectronic/><issnPrint/><issnElectronic>2296-2565</issnElectronic><keywords>community health, participation, stigma, PTSD, social unrest</keywords><publishedDay>9</publishedDay><publishedMonth>3</publishedMonth><publishedYear>2022</publishedYear><publishedDate>2022-03-09</publishedDate><doi>10.3389/fpubh.2022.838606</doi><url/><notes/><college>COLLEGE NANME</college><department>Health and Social Care School</department><CollegeCode>COLLEGE CODE</CollegeCode><DepartmentCode>HSOC</DepartmentCode><institution>Swansea University</institution><apcterm>Another institution paid the OA fee</apcterm><funders>Data collection of this study was supported by the Additional Research Fund of the Department of Special Education and Counseling at the Education University of Hong Kong.</funders><projectreference/><lastEdited>2024-10-28T12:31:01.2766838</lastEdited><Created>2024-09-04T15:17:35.3940011</Created><path><level id="1">Faculty of Medicine, Health and Life Sciences</level><level id="2">School of Health and Social Care - Therapies</level></path><authors><author><firstname>Eva</firstname><surname>Chung</surname><orcid>0000-0003-4054-0645</orcid><order>1</order></author></authors><documents><document><filename>67560__32743__a78a097501974718992aabdf4d2d5c8e.pdf</filename><originalFilename>67560.VoR.pdf</originalFilename><uploaded>2024-10-28T12:29:44.4078994</uploaded><type>Output</type><contentLength>942749</contentLength><contentType>application/pdf</contentType><version>Version of Record</version><cronfaStatus>true</cronfaStatus><documentNotes>Copyright &#xA9; 2022 Chung.
