| contents | Post traumatic stress disorder and adaptive capacity in victims of intimate partner violence José Juan Amar Amar Luz Elena Ocampo Otálvaro Psicología The goal of this article was to identify the existing relationship between Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the adaptive capacity in a group of victims of intimate partner violence residing in Medellin (Colombia). The sample consisted of 26 people, bothmale and female selected from different health and social centers. The instruments used were the PTSD Symptom Severity Scale and the Maladjustment Scale. Descriptive statistics and Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient were used for data analysis. The results reinforce the initiative of considering PTSD as a diagnostic category unmistakably associated to intimate partner violence; 84.2% of the sample reportedPost Traumatic Stress Disorder symptomatology, mainly avoidance and hyperarousal, as well as somatic manifestations. Maladjustment levels were highly elevated, 93.2% average, the areas with the lowest level of adaptive capacity were marital life and family life, while maladjustment levels exhibited significant associations with overall PTSD and hyperarousal (p<0.01). In general, the participants exhibited emotional affliction in their responses, characterized by the presence of somatic anxiety, an intense fear of re-experiencing the abuse situations and a marked response of increased arousal. 2012 artículo científico 0123-417X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=21324851002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=213 Psicología desde el Caribe application/pdf Universidad del Norte Psicología desde el Caribe (Colombia) Num.2 Vol.29 |
