On April 22, 2026, Ashraf Jehad Abuejheisheh published a new study in “Health Science Reports” titled “The Moderating Role of Psychological Well‐Being on the Association Between the Severity of Symptoms and Sociodemographic Factors Among Patients With Probable PTSD in Jordan: A Predictive Cross‐Sectional Study”. The study intended to examine the moderating role of Psychological Well‐Being (PWB) on the association between the severity of post‐ traumatic symptoms and specific sociodemographic and health‐related factors among patients with Probable PTSD in Jordan. The findings of the present study exhibited that the majority of the participants were experiencing severe symptoms of PTSD levels (65.7%, n = 69), while 31.4% (n = 33) were experiencing moderate symptoms of PTSD levels. In terms of PWB, most patients experienced mild levels, with 82.9% (n = 87) reporting this level. 37.5% of the variation in the association between sociodemographic factors and the severity of PTSD symptoms is related to the moderating role of PWB, with an increase of 10.7%. In model 2, PWB has a negative association with the severity of PTSD symptoms (β = − 305, p < 0.001). The analysis revealed that PWB negatively moderated the association between sociodemographic factors and the severity of PTSD symptoms. PWB plays a crucial role in moderating the severity of symptoms among patients with probable PTSD. The findings of this study indicated that traumatic stress is negatively correlated with PWB, suggesting that higher levels of traumatic stress are accompanying with lower levels of PWB. This relationship highlights the detrimental impact that trauma can have on an individual's mental health.
