Hello everyone,

I am currently completing a research study to fulfill the requirements of a Graduate Diploma in Psychology (Advanced). It is an online survey, which will take around 15 minutes to complete, looking at traumatic stress symptoms and sleep disturbances. To be eligible to participate in this study, you must be over 18 years of age, have been exposed to a potentially traumatic event in your lifetime and have been experiencing sleep difficulties for at least the past month.

Participating in this study is entirely voluntary and you can withdraw at any time without reason or consequence. The study has received ethics approval from the Monash University Human Research Ethics Committee. All responses are entirely anonymous. If you meet the requirements or know someone who does, and would like to take part in this study you can access the online survey through the following link:

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like to know any more information.

Thank you so much for your time, it is greatly appreciated!
Steph

Exposure to a potentially traumatic event is incredibly vague.

For some people, getting dumped is traumatic.

Data from these people would render your findings useless IMHO for application to those with serious life threatening/sexual trauma.
 
@EveHarrington That would be my mistake in how I have described the study in my initial post. Yes, it is looking at the effects of trauma on sleep, however there is a screening question in the survey for the traumatic event experienced. The survey itself and the description is definitely more specific e.g. assesses severity of traumatic stress symptoms
 
Very true as trauma is different for everyone. When i read the word dump i was teleported back to my highschool days where i came out of 7-11 and walked passed an alley where a lady was...dumping. She was partially shielded from the large garbage bin but still our eyes made contact and she screamed at me. Not sure why the word dump triggered something i never even thought about in 20 years.

Funny brain associates and disassociates. Unpredictable like mood.

I will do survey in the name of science.
