La desregulación emocional y la preocupación como mediadores entre los eventos estresantes de vida y los síntomas de estrés postraumático en mujeres adultas mexicanas: un estudio transversal
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Resumen
Introducción. Las mujeres experimentan múltiples episodios de eventos adversos que con frecuencia están vinculados a la violencia, los cuales generan dificultades emocionales que influyen en el desarrollo del trastorno por estrés postraumático.
Objetivo. Examinar si la desregulación emocional y la preocupación median la relación entre las experiencias de eventos estresantes y los síntomas de estrés postraumático en una muestra de mujeres adultas mexicanas que buscan tratamiento psicológico en línea.
Método. Se realizó un estudio transversal con una muestra no probabilística de 687 mujeres entre 18 y 76 años.
Resultados. Los datos indicaron que la desregulación emocional medía la relación entre el tipo de trauma y los síntomas de estrés postraumático en eventos relacionados con la enfermedad y la muerte, pero no en otros tipos de estresores, mientras que la preocupación medía la asociación entre la agresión sexual y física y los síntomas de estrés postraumático.
Discusión y conclusión. Este estudio contribuye a los modelos actuales de la psicopatología centrados en la perspectiva transdiagnóstica. Los hallazgos pueden guiar las intervenciones dirigidas a la regulación emocional y la preocupación como a factores de riesgo modificables para el desarrollo de estrés postraumático.
