Abstract

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a prevalent psychological response among those who survive earthquakes. This study investigates the relationships between sociodemographic and clinical differences and symptoms of avoidance, re-experiencing, and hyperarousal, which are key indicators of PTSD in adolescents. Research data were collected through online surveys using a simple random sampling method. The sample group consisted of 178 adolescents who met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form (PIF) and the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms Scale-Self-Report Scale (PSS-SR) for Children. Of the participants, 77% were female, with a mean age of 16.99. A total of 84.3% lived with their families. The rate of those trapped under debris during the earthquake was 97.2%. During the earthquake, 84.8% of adolescents were injured, and 25.8% lost a family member due to the earthquake. Female participants showed significantly higher total trauma, re-experiencing, and hyperarousal scores than males (p<0.05). Those physically injured during the earthquake had significantly lower total trauma and avoidance scores compared to those not injured (p<0.05). Participants who lost a family member during the earthquake had significantly lower total trauma, re-experiencing, and hyperarousal scores compared to those who did not lose a family member (p<0.05). Females exhibited more PTSD symptoms compared to males. Those not injured or who did not lose a family member during the earthquake showed more PTSD symptoms than those who experienced injury or loss.

经历地震创伤的青少年创伤后应激障碍的相关因素

创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）是地震幸存者普遍存在的心理反应。本研究调查了社会人口学和临床差异与青少年创伤后应激障碍的关键指标--回避、再经历和过度妄想症状之间的关系。研究数据通过在线调查收集，采用简化随机抽样方法。样本组由符合纳入标准的 178 名青少年组成。数据的收集使用了个人信息表（PIF）和儿童创伤后应激障碍症状量表-自我报告量表（PSS-SR）。共有 84.3% 的人与家人住在一起。在地震中被困在废墟中的比例为 97.2%。84.8%的青少年在地震中受伤，25.8%的青少年在地震中失去了家人。女性受试者的创伤总分、再体验得分和妄想得分明显高于男性（P<0.05）。与未受伤者相比，在地震中身体受伤者的创伤和回避总分明显较低（P<0.05）。与没有失去家人的参与者相比，在地震中失去家人的参与者的创伤总分、重新体验和过度焦虑得分明显较低（P<0.05）。在地震中没有受伤或失去家人的人比受伤或失去家人的人表现出更多的创伤后应激障碍症状。
