OBJECTIVE Firefighters represent a distinct group of first responders that are at heightened risk of developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD). Assessing the role of transdiagnostic factors that underlie PTSD-AUD associations can inform specialized interventions among this population. This study included urban firefighters (N = 657) with probable PTSD-AUD (n = 27), probable PTSD-alone (n = 35), probable AUD-alone (n = 125), and trauma-exposure-only (n = 470). Methods: All firefighters completed a self-report, online questionnaire battery. Between group differences in anxiety sensitivity (AS), distress tolerance (DT), mindfulness, and emotional regulation difficulties (ERD) were assessed. It was hypothesized that firefighters with probable PTSD-AUD would endorse elevated AS and ERD, and reduced DT and mindfulness in comparison to all other diagnostic groups. Relationship status was included as a covariate in all comparisons. Results: Firefighters with probable PTSD-AUD endorsed elevated AS and ERD, and reduced DT and mindfulness in comparison to firefighters with trauma-exposure-only and probable AUD-alone. Firefighters with probable PTSD-AUD and probable PTSD-alone did not significantly differ. Conclusions: Given these findings, this line of inquiry has great potential to inform specialized, evidence-based mental health programming among firefighter populations, who represent a unique population susceptible to trauma-exposure, PTSD symptomology, and problematic alcohol use.

检查与创伤暴露、可能的 PTSD 和可能的酒精使用障碍相关的消防员的跨诊断因素

目标 消防员代表了一组独特的急救人员,他们患创伤后应激障碍 (PTSD) 和酒精使用障碍 (AUD) 的风险较高。评估作为 PTSD-AUD 关联基础的跨诊断因素的作用可以为该人群的专门干预提供信息。该研究包括可能患有 PTSD-AUD (n = 27)、可能单独患有 PTSD (n = 35)、可能单独患有 AUD (n = 125) 和仅创伤暴露 (n = 470)。方法:所有消防员完成自我报告、在线问卷调查。评估了焦虑敏感性 (AS)、痛苦耐受性 (DT)、正念和情绪调节困难 (ERD) 的组间差异。据推测,可能患有 PTSD-AUD 的消防员会认可升高的 AS 和 ERD,与所有其他诊断组相比,DT 和正念减少。关系状态作为协变量包含在所有比较中。结果:与仅接受创伤暴露和可能仅接受 AUD 的消防员相比,可能患有 PTSD-AUD 的消防员认可 AS 和 ERD 升高,并降低 DT 和正念。可能患有 PTSD-AUD 和可能患有 PTSD 的消防员没有显着差异。结论:鉴于这些发现,这一调查线有很大潜力为消防员群体提供专业的、以证据为基础的心理健康规划,他们代表了易受创伤暴露、PTSD 症状和有问题的酒精使用影响的独特人群。与仅接受创伤暴露和可能仅接受 AUD 的消防员相比,可能患有 PTSD-AUD 的消防员认可 AS 和 ERD 升高,并降低 DT 和正念。可能患有 PTSD-AUD 和可能患有 PTSD 的消防员没有显着差异。结论:鉴于这些发现,这一调查线有很大潜力为消防员群体提供专业的、以证据为基础的心理健康规划,他们代表了易受创伤暴露、PTSD 症状和有问题的酒精使用影响的独特人群。与仅接受创伤暴露和可能仅接受 AUD 的消防员相比,可能患有 PTSD-AUD 的消防员认可 AS 和 ERD 升高,并降低 DT 和正念。可能患有 PTSD-AUD 和可能患有 PTSD 的消防员没有显着差异。结论:鉴于这些发现,这一调查线有很大的潜力为消防员群体提供专业的、以证据为基础的心理健康规划,他们代表了易受创伤暴露、PTSD 症状和有问题的酒精使用影响的独特人群。
