Research Research Survey On The Benefits Of Talking About Traumatic Experiences

I am currently looking for participants to complete my online questionnaire focussing on how talking about stressful or traumatic events may affect health and well-being.

Research studies have shown that talking about past or recent stressful or traumatic events can have a variety of positive effects on health and well-being. My research project looks at how talking about different types of stressful or traumatic events may affect health and which factors might influence this relationship.

The findings of this research will contribute to greater understandings of how people who experience different types of upsetting or traumatic events cope with these events. In particular whether people talk about their experiences, how they feel about this, and how this may affect their health.

Therefore, I am currently looking for participants to complete a short online questionnaire. To participate in this survey you must have experienced or witnessed a very distressing or traumatic event at some point in your life (e.g. accidents, natural disasters, abuse, rape, military combat, illness, death of a close person, witness of traumatic events, distressing life changes, etc.)
This research is completely anonymous and confidential and handled in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. It has been approved by the School of Psychology ethical review process, at the University of Sussex.

You can participate in this study by following the link and filling in a simple online questionnaire, which should take no longer than 15-20 minutes.

I am currently a postgraduate student at the University of Sussex and this survey is part of my Masters project. This project is supervised by Dr Susan Ayers from the University of Sussex.

If you have any questions regarding the survey or if you want more information, please feel free to contact me at any time.

Your help would be highly appreciated.

The link does not work. I copied and pasted it. Could you possibly post a proper link which we can just click on?
 
The link has been fixed. It's a great survey, may take five minutes, but I really liked it- it was one of those "fill in the bubble ones"- no short answer type things, but it still has the impact to be informative to the people collecting the data anyway. You don't need to put any personal information, just your age, and level of education.

(Only problem is that it's "British education" For that: Americans: GCSE means tenth and eleventh grade, and A level means graduated high school. That's all I can remember from "British time" also "Trauma time")

Congratulations on making a survey I actually LIKED completing. I approve. :)

I think it goes, GCSE, A level, Bachelor degree, masters degree, Doctorate.
 
Done... Feels weird doing those sort of assessments nowadays, as the majority of my answers are low to nothing scores due to the years of work done. Yet if I was asked how severe I was when highly stressed, those answers would be vastly different.
 
This was the best survey I have ever taken! It was so well put together and the questions and answers were so clear. Impressed. :tup:

The down side to taking any survey to me is the answering the questions honestly. You think you are doing well but then you start answering a bunch of questions about daily life and functioning and you realize you are not doing as well as you hoped. :(
 
Wow, thanks to everyone who already completed the survey and also for the nice feedback :)

Ayesha - I am sorry to hear about that. I really hope it did not make you feel too bad...

Concerning the education level - you also have the option to choose 'other' and just state the appopriate level for your country.
 
Hey everyone,

I just wanted to let you know that I am now done with my survey and I will close the link to my survey by today.

I also want to express my gratitude to everyone who helped me by filling in this survey. I am very thankful!

If anyone is interested, I would be willing to post my study results here. Just let me know.

All the best to everyone in this great forum!

Best,

Miriam
 
I would be interested in reading the results. Please post them here :) Would be nice to see what they say.
