A research team at Monash University Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health is funded by the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) to conduct a study and help develop culturally informed treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Any first-generation immigrant from China aged between 18-65, with experience of stressful/adverse event (such as experiencing/witnessing car accident, natural disaster etc) is welcomed to participate. If you would like to participate in an online survey to help this study, please contact: [email protected]. Anyone who completes the survey will receive a gift card worth $25. Thank you for your support.

蒙纳士大学的一个科研团队正在进行一项由澳洲NHMRC资助的项目,意在为亚裔创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)受害者开发更全面的治疗方法。

欢迎任何年龄介于18-65岁之间,曾亲身经历或目睹过应激事件(例如车祸,自然灾害等)的第一代华人移民参加。如有意参加线上问卷,协助此项研究,请发邮件至:[email protected] (English/中文)。完成问卷者将获得$25的代金券。感谢您的支持。

Background:

Past research has suggested that people from Asian countries might engage differently in the development and maintenance of PTSD. Understanding this difference has a significant impact on the development of treatments for victims from culturally diverse backgrounds. In particular, the study is hoping to look at whether east-Asian population have different emotional regulation and appraisal strategies concerning traumatic events. 

过去的研究表明,比起西方人,来自亚洲国家的人们会以不同的形式对创伤事件作出反应。了解这种差异对为来自不同文化背景的创伤后应激障碍受害者开发治疗方案具有重大意义。具体来说,该研究项目想研究来自东亚的创伤后应激障碍受害者是否有着与西方人不同的情绪调节和认知评估策略。
