Thirty-nine percent of former LRA abductees reported problems upon returning to their home communities. In addition, former LRA abductees who spent six or more months with the rebels (68%) reported more problems after returning home than those who stayed less time. While physical and material concerns were frequently mentioned ("health" and "injury": 18.9%; "loss of property" and "goods": 10.6%), most of those who returned reported mental and social problems ("mentally do not feel well": 10.6%; "problems adjusting to life outside the bush": 16.7%; "relationship problems with family": 10.8%).
After statistically controlling for the effect of other variables by employing multivariate logistic regression, reporting symptoms of PTSD was associated with gender, ethnicity, problems returning home, cumulative exposure as a witness, and cumulative exposure to forced acts of violence (see Table 5). Females were almost nine times more likely to report symptoms of PTSD (ORadj = 8.84, 95% C.I. = 6.07, 12.88). Among abductees, Acholi were three times more likely to meet symptom criteria for PTSD than Iteso (ORadj = 3.05, 95% C.I. = 1.59, 5.87). Langi were twice as likely to meet symptom criteria for PTSD than Iteso (ORadj = 2.15, 95% C.I. = 1.05, 4.41). There was no significant difference between Acholi and Langi respondents. Cumulative number of traumatic events witnessed (ORadj = 1.21, 95% C.I. = 1.10, 1.32) and cumulative number of forced acts of violence (ORadj = 1.43, 95% C.I. = 1.18, 1.74) among abductees were associated with meeting criteria for symptoms of PTSD. Finally, former abductees who reported difficulties coming home to their community after abduction were nearly three times more likely to meet criteria for symptoms of PTSD at the time of the survey (ORadj = 2.97, 95% C.I. = 2.09, 4.24).
Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that meeting symptoms of depression was associated with gender, relationship with family, difficulties returning home, cumulative direct violent traumatic exposure, and cumulative exposure to forced acts of violence (see Table 5). Interactions between age and gender were also significant. Among abductees, women were twice as likely as men to report symptoms of depression (ORadj = 2.11, 95% C.I. = 1.22, 3.63). Due to statistical interaction between age and gender, each one-year increase in age is associated with multiplicative increase in odds of having symptoms of depression by 3% among men and decrease in odds of having symptoms of depression by 2% among women. This means that while male abductees may have an increased risk of having symptoms of depression as they age, the risk for female abductees may decrease with age. Higher self-reported positive scores for abductees' relationships with their family, friends, and community were associated with a decrease in odds of meeting the criteria for symptoms of depression (ORadj = 0.90, 95% C.I. = 0.83, 0.97). Likewise, reported problems when returning were positively associated with the odds of meeting the criteria for symptoms of depression (ORadj = 2.24, 95% C.I. = 1.63, 3.08). The cumulative number of general traumatic exposures (ORadj = 1.18, 95% C.I. = 1.03, 1.33) and cumulative number of forced acts of violence (ORadj = 2.24, 95% C.I. = 1.63, 3.08) were associated with increased odds of meeting the criteria for symptoms of depression among abductees. The following variables were not statistically associated with either symptoms of PTSD or depression in the multivariate analyses described above: 1) length of abduction, 2) going through a reception center, 3) being married or in partnership relationship.
One-third of the respondents (33%) self-reported having experienced abduction (49% among the Acholi). Our findings further suggest that fewer former LRA abductees passed through the reception centers before returning to their home communities than had previously been reported. This in turn suggests that the number of abducted people in northern Uganda may have been underestimated as the estimates were calculated based on the number of children passing through the reception centers [6, 13].
Based on the results, former LRA abductees confront a range of problems when returning to their communities, including psychological (e.g., "mentally do not feel well") and social (e.g., relationship with family, community) problems. Problems associated with returning home were found to be statistically associated with symptoms of PTSD and depression. However, because this is a cross-sectional study, we cannot determine whether symptoms of PTSD and/or depression led to problems associated with returning home or whether problems associated with returning home elicited symptoms of PTSD and/or depression. The study did not find any relationship between going through the reception center and having symptoms of PTSD and/or depression but found that those who had better relationships with their family, friends, and community were less likely to have symptoms of depression (ORadj = 0.90, 95% C.I. = 0.83, 0.97). This supports several qualitative research studies conducted in northern Uganda which found that family and community acceptance and support are vital to psychosocial well-being of former LRA abductees [15]. It shows the value of reintegrating former abductees with their families and developing programs to help them move ahead economically and socially. At the same time, the study did not find a significant association between social relationships and symptoms of PTSD, suggesting that the reintegration process alone is insufficient to address those symptoms. Also the study did not find an association between having attended a reception center and symptoms of PTSD and depression. However, going through a reception centers was found to have helped the reintegration process.
We found high prevalence rates of symptoms of PTSD and depression among former LRA abductees in northern Uganda. The symptoms were associated with directly experiencing violence, being forced to commit violent acts, and/or witnessing violent acts. All of these symptoms were more frequent among those held captive for longer periods of time. We found that problems returning home were associated with symptoms of PTSD and depression. In addition, those who reported having better relations with their family, friends, and community were less likely to report symptoms of depression.
After installation, I see in the commandline (via HDMI) that the appliance has succesfully booted up, but unfortunately the LAN doesnt come up when I connect network cables. Also the status LED keeps blinking.
This section will discuss reverse culture shock -- the psychological, emotional and cultural aspects of reentry. While the phenomenon of culture shock is increasingly well known (and relatively well prepared for in the foreign affairs community), reverse culture shock is not as recognized and understood. This is due in part to the fact that people are returning home. So why should "returning home" result in culture shock?
As with culture shock, many aspects of reverse culture shock are subjective, therefore each person will have a unique experience in readapting to his or her home culture. Research does, however, indicate some common patterns existing among most sojourners' reentry experiences. While reading about these common patterns, remember to keep an open mind about reverse culture shock and the various ways it may affect you and your individual family members. Issues specific to spouses and kids are also included at the end of this section.
Our concept of "home" is built on these ideas of familiarity, routine, communication and identity. Home is more than the physical place in which we live. Home is associated with all of the people, actions, feelings, emotions and cues that make us feel "at home." Craig Storti, says the following: "The essence of home can be described in three key elements: familiar places, familiar people and routines, and predictable patterns of interaction." These three elements associate the feelings of security, understanding, trust, safety and belonging.
As with cross-cultural adaptation stress, change of routine and a lack of familiarity contribute significantly to reverse culture shock. As you've settled into your foreign location (sometimes staying outside the United States for as many as three tours / 8 or 9 years), you've spent less time in your home culture. Upon return, not only is home different from what you are now used to, but it may be different from what it was when you left, and different from what you expect it to be like.
From our review of culture shock, we know that "home" is much more than just the "house" you live in. Home involves feelings, relationships, routines, and predictable patterns of interaction. Home is also significantly related to a person's identity - home is where you are most yourself. As you evolve as an individual abroad and adopt the culture practices of your foreign post, your perception of home changes. Living overseas can be a life-changing experience and may affect your attitudes, feelings and relationships with the home you left many years ago.
