Colombia is one of the countries where the armed conflict has been expressed through different forms of violence, causing the victims to experience multiple traumatic situations. The aim of this study is to compare the number of traumatic events experienced, the presence of symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD), and the deterioration of functioning among victims of forced displacement in the context of the armed conflict who meet and do not meet the diagnostic criteria for PTSD, through the application of the EGEP-5, which is an instrument that evaluates the presence of post-traumatic symptoms and diagnosis of PTSD. The study is non-experimental, cross-sectional, and descriptive in scope. The results showed that 45.6% of the total sample met all the PTSD criteria, presenting in turn a greater number of traumatic events, though polyvictimization was identified in the two study samples.

Introduction/Objective: In times of change, social and work dynamics emphasize the importance of actions to assess and intervene in psychosocial risks and psychological safety, which can significantly impact individuals' performance and behavior in their workplaces. The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review of empirical research focusing on psychological safety in organizational contexts. Method: This review followed the recommendations of the PRISMA 2020 statement, using the CADIMA software. The consulted databases were Scopus, APA PsycINFO, Web of Science, and Redalyc. A total of 1678 documents were identified, out of which 196 in English, published between 2020 and 2022, met the selection criteria. Results: Most of the studies were conducted in the United States and England, highlighting the need for further research in Ibero-America and Latin America. Psychological Safety was found to be influenced by organizational behavior factors at various levels of individual, group, and organizational analysis. Some of the topics explored in the studies include organizational culture, team relationships, team members' personalities, performance, learning, and knowledge management processes in organizations. Conclusions: Psychological Safety acts as a mediating variable when related to other constructs, and this review lists psychological variables associated with the psychological safety construct. Furthermore, the challenges after the COVID-19 pandemic are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To do this, a critical assessment of the Psychological Safety construct is carried out and a new perspective for its study is proposed. It is concluded that the new proposed perspective complements and expands the limits of psychological safety assuming it as a personological configuration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
