Abstract

Background and objectives: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a common psychological condition following traumatic events, including physical trauma. In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence and demographic correlates of PTSD among orthopedic trauma patients.

Methods: We used a cross-sectional survey design and assessed 200 orthopedic trauma patients, using a self-administered questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of demographic information and the PTSD Checklist-Civilian Version to determine the prevalence of PTSD.

Results: The results showed that the prevalence of PTSD was 39%. Females had a higher incidence rate (63%) than males (26%). Females were 1.16 times more likely to suffer from PTSD following trauma as compared to males, with a statistically significant association found between PTSD and female gender. However, the study found no significant association between PTSD and age. Additionally, a high proportion of PTSD participants had comorbid depression.

Conclusion: Future studies should further explore the demographic and psychological risk factors associated with PTSD following physical trauma.

期刊介绍: The Irish Journal of Medical Science is the official organ of the Royal Academy of Medicine in Ireland. Established in 1832, this quarterly journal is a contribution to medical science and an ideal forum for the younger medical/scientific professional to enter world literature and an ideal launching platform now, as in the past, for many a young research worker. The primary role of both the Academy and IJMS is that of providing a forum for the exchange of scientific information and to promote academic discussion, so essential to scientific progress.
