  1. **Significance level of p < .01. PTSD symptoms were measured with the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-5 (PCL-5) (Weathers et al. [14]). Idioms of distress were measured by the subscale created for the study on the Harvard Trauma Questionnaire (HTQ). Depressive symptoms assessed by the Patient Health Questionnaire—9 (PHQ-9) (Kroenke et al. [67]). Somatic complaints were measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire—15 (PHQ-15) (Spitzer et al. [69]). Anxiety was measured by Generalized Anxiety Disorders-7 (GAD-7) (Spitzer et al. [69])
