title="Negative and positive effects of exposition to trauma among soldiers participating in military missions – the role of rumination",
abstract=" Purpose : The  study aimed was to establish in what extend in soldiers participating in military missions occur the  negative and positive effects of  trauma exposition and what is the  role of  rumination.    Methods : The  results of  60 soldiers who experienced traumatic events during the  mission were analyzed. The  age of  the  participants ranged from 26 to 46 years (M  = 33.17, SD  =  4.84). The  following Polish versions of  standardized tools were used: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Questionnaire – K-PTSD, the  Posttraumatic Growth Inventory – PTG and the  Event Related Rumination Inventory – ERRI, measuring two types of  ruminations: intrusive and deliberate.    Results : Ten percent of  respondents revealed posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the  remaining 90% – symptoms of  its syndrome. The  level of  posttraumatic growth (PTG) is low. Both types of  ruminations, ie. intrusive and deliberate proved to be positively associated with PTSD, wherein the  predictive role play largely intrusive ruminations. Deliberate ruminations correlate with posttraumatic growth. They also proved to be predictors of  the  three areas of  PTG, i.e. changes in self-perception, relations with others and appreciating of  life.   Conclusions : Ruminations favor the  occurrence both negative and positive consequences of  experienced traumatic events.",
