We are excited to share our contribution to a study with @talkywalky.bsky.social, @sinhaengel.bsky.social & colleagues on how an internet-based CBT intervention for MDD impacts sleep quality and stress markers. Read about the results here: doi.org/10.1016/j.cp...
The figure shows the time course of sleep quality during the internet-based intervention. Note. STSQ: Short-term Sleep Quality PSQI: Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. For both indices, lower values indicate a better sleep quality.

Short-term sleep quality results did not show a significant effect from pre-intervention (T0) to mid-intervention (T1; estimate = 0.01; se = 0.20; df = 84.45; padj = 0.97) or pre-to-post-intervention (T2; estimate = 0.05; se = 0.21; df = 85.84; padj = 1.00). Results of the long-term sleep quality analysis during the intervention showed a significant effect from both T0 to T1 (estimate = −1.30; se = 0.40; df = 85.64; padj < 0.01), and from T0 to T2 (estimate = −2.04; se = 0.40; df = 85.73; padj < 0.001).

We were happy to contribute to a project exploring how childhood maltreatment affects postpartum depression, using both subjective and objective measures of chronic stress, together with @meikeb.bsky.social @sinhaengel.bsky.social @shaering.bsky.social & collaborators! 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.ja...
The figure shows model 4.2, a mediated regression model predicting symptoms of postpartum depression (N = 111). Past major depressive episodes were included as relevant confounders. ß = standardized beta coefficient. B = unstandardized beta coefficient. *p < .05. **p < .01. ***p < .001.

Late to the party, but couldn’t miss to congratulate @shaering.bsky.social on very successfully defending her PhD thesis and to shortly summarize her excellent work here. Stephanie’s thesis is a comprehensive overview of the sex and gender data gap in psychotraumatology, absolutely worth a read.

I’m very happy to share the preprint of our most recent meta-analysis on sex/gender differences in PTSD risk factors. osf.io/preprints/ps... Most importantly, our results suggest that women’s increased risk for PTSD is due to their higher immediate psychological stress responses to trauma.

warum machen männer seltener therapie? (1) annehmen von hilfe = bedroht identität (!) als stark, autonom etc. (2) therapie gilt als „feminin“ (3) dysfunktionale strategien zur stressbewältigung (zB „mit sich allein ausmachen“) … rigide gendernormen schaden www.spektrum.de/news/was-mae...

32% of Black adults worry every day or almost every day that they might be threatened or attacked because of their race or ethnicity. So do 21% of Asian adults & 14% of Hispanic adults. Many have changed their daily schedules and routines because of these threats. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...
