OverviewAI-generated summary
Marcela C. Weber investigates psychological responses to trauma, particularly in healthcare workers and military service members. Her research has explored the concept of moral injury, examining its relationship with psychosocial functioning, posttraumatic growth, and symptoms of stress, depression, and anxiety, especially within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Weber has also studied dual-factor models of posttraumatic responses, seeking to understand the interplay between high posttraumatic growth and low symptomology.
Her work includes scoping reviews to identify protective factors for posttraumatic wellbeing among trauma-exposed military personnel and veterans, as well as factors enhancing resilience in youth exposed to violence in Latin America. Additionally, she has investigated the use of physiological measures, such as heart rate variability, to predict treatment response for post-traumatic stress disorder. Weber has a h-index of 9 with 29 publications and 414 citations, and frequently collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Jeffrey M. Pyne and Brandon J. Griffin.
