The negative association between trait mindfulness and post‐traumatic stress disorder: A 4.5‐year prospective cohort study
2021
Overview
Objective Post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a chronic, disabling condition. Our main objective is to investigate the association between trait mindfulness and PTSD over a period of 54 months. The secondary objective is to provide an exhaustive description of PTSD trajectories after the Bataclan attack. Methods We designed a prospective cohort study of 133 subjects present in the Bataclan concert hall during the November 2015 terrorist attack in Paris, France. Data were recorded 6, 18, 30, and 54 months after the attack. The primary endpoint was evaluated using the PTSD Check List Scale. Trait mindfulness was measured by the 14‐item Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory. Results FMI scores were consistently, significantly, and negatively associated with PCL‐5 scores. Adjusted odds ratios were at 0.81 (6 months), 0.88 (18 months) 0.82 (30 months), and 0.81 (54 months). PTSD prevalence 6 months after the event was 77%; it remained at 41% after 54 months. PTSD status of subjects is fluctuating. Latent class analysis divided the cohort into 3 groups: 21% of subject who remained below PTSD threshold throughout, 30% who remained above throughout, and 49% who steadily reduced their PTSD scores over time. Conclusion In our cohort, mindfulness is negatively associated with PTSD. Mindfulness programs are designed to improve global resilience and treat anxiety and mood disorders. Further research is needed to investigate if improving trait mindfulness is possible and beneficial for patients suffering from PTSD. PTSD prevalence remains very high for direct victims of terrorism even after 54 months. We found a strong negative association between trait mindfulness and post‐traumatic stress disorder at 6, 18, 30, and 54 months. Mindfulness prevention programs for post‐traumatic stress disorder should be implemented as soon as possible after the trauma.
