Abstract

Background: Filipino migrant workers in Macao are vulnerable to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and addictive behaviours due to trauma histories, postmigration stressors, and access to alcohol and gambling venues. While PTSD addiction comorbidity is well-established in the existing literature, such research among migrant workers is lacking.

Objective: The current study investigated differential relations between PTSD symptoms and addictive behaviours in a polytrauma exposed sample of Filipino domestic workers in Macao (SAR), China.

Methods: Data were collected from 1375 Filipino migrant workers; data from a subsample of 1200 participants who reported an index traumatic event and PTSD symptoms were used in the analyses. Participants responded to the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5, gambling disorder symptoms checklist from DSM-5, and The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. We estimated a regularized partial correlation network structure of PTSD symptoms and addictive behaviours employing graphical LASSO and extended Bayesian information criterion.

Results: PTSD symptoms of arousal and negative emotions had bridge connections with gambling disorder symptoms; while PTSD symptoms of arousal, restricted affect, negative emotions, and emotional reactivity had bridge connections with alcohol misuse.

Conclusions: PTSD's arousal and negative emotion symptoms were common in the networks of PTSD and addictive behaviours, while PTSD's restricted affect and emotional reactivity symptoms were unique to the network of PTSD and alcohol misuse. Treatment of the comorbidity of PTSD and addictive behaviours may yield optimal effects when tailored to these symptoms.

Other Abstract

Antecedentes: Las trabajadoras migrantes de origen filipino en Macao son vulnerables a síntomas del trastorno de estrés postraumático (TEPT) y a conductas adictivas debido a antecedentes traumáticos, a factores estresantes luego de la migración y al acceso a alcohol y a locales de apuestas. Si bien la comorbilidad entre el TEPT y las adicciones está bien documentada en la literatura existente, la investigación es insuficiente en trabajadoras migrantes.

Objetivo: Este estudio investigó las diferentes relaciones entre los síntomas del TEPT y las conductas adictivas en una muestra de trabajadoras del hogar de origen filipino con antecedente de múltiples traumas en Macao (SAR), China.

Métodos: Se recolectó información de 1375 trabajadoras migrantes filipinas; se empleó en el análisis la información de una submuestra de 1200 participantes que reportaron una experiencia traumática primigenia y síntomas de estrés traumático. Las participantes respondieron a la Lista de Chequeo del TEPT para el DSM-5, la lista de chequeo para el trastorno por juego de apuestas del DSM-5 y el Cuestionario de Identificación de los Trastornos debidos al Consumo de Alcohol (AUDIT por sus siglas en inglés). Se estimó una estructura de red con correlación parcial regularizada de los síntomas del TEPT y las conductas adictivas empleando la regularización Lasso y los criterios extendidos de información bayesiana.

Resultados: Los síntomas de hiperactivación y los de emociones negativas del TEPT presentaron conexiones en puente con los síntomas del trastorno por juegos de apuesta; por otro lado, los síntomas de hiperactivacion, afecto restringido, emociones negativas y reactividad emocional del TEPT presentaron conexiones en puente con el abuso de alcohol.

Conclusiones: Los síntomas de hiperactivación y de emociones negativas del TEPT fueron comunes en la red del TEPT y de las conductas adictivas, mientras que los síntomas de afecto restringido y reactividad emocional fueron exclusivos a la red del TEPT y del abuso de alcohol. El tratamiento de la comorbilidad del TEPT con las conductas adictivas podría brindar efectos beneficiosos al ser adaptado específicamente a estos síntomas.

背景:由于创伤史、移民后应激源以及酗酒和赌博场所,澳门的菲律宾移民工人容易出现创伤后应激障碍 (PTSD) 症状和成瘾行为。 虽然 PTSD 成瘾共病在现有文献中已得到证实,但缺乏针对移民工人的研究。

目的:本研究在一个中国澳门(特别行政区)菲律宾家庭佣工的多重创伤暴露样本中考查了 PTSD 症状与成瘾行为之间的不同关系。

方法:数据收集自 1375 名菲律宾移民工人; 分析中使用了 1200名报告了指数创伤事件和 PTSD 症状的参与者子样本数据。 参与者对 DSM-5 PTSD 检查表、DSM-5 赌博障碍症状检查表和酒精使用障碍识别测试做出了回应。 我们使用图形 LASSO 和扩展贝叶斯信息准则估计了 PTSD 症状和成瘾行为的正则化偏相关网络结构。

结果:PTSD症状的唤起和负性情绪与赌博障碍症状有桥连接; 而 PTSD 症状的唤起、受限情感、负性情绪和情绪反应与酒精滥用有桥连接。

结论:PTSD的唤起和负性情绪症状在PTSD和成瘾行为网络中普遍存在,而PTSD的受限情感和情绪反应症状是PTSD和酒精滥用网络所特有的。 当针对这些症状对PTSD 和成瘾行为共病的特定治疗可能会产生最佳效果。
