De belasting van longitudinaal traumaonderzoek: Een prospectieve studie naar veronderstelde en onvermoeide voorspellers

Abstract

A previous prospective study on psychotrauma revealed that the experienced burden of this research is strongly predicted by the experienced burden of participating in previous research on politics and values, and research on personality and health, and not by PTSD symptoms, coping self-effi cacy and personality. Two subsequent surveys enabled us to assess to what extent a.) predictors of the burden of 3 subsequent surveys vary and b.) whether the burden of the subsequent surveys is stable over time (N=764). Findings showed similar results on predictors across surveys, and this burden tends to decrease compared to earlier research. In addition, similar results were found in predicting the burden of new research on health and politics following the research on trauma (n=699). Current fi ndings question prevailing guidelines and law on research.
