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.
