Abstract
Background: Complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD) has been included in the International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision (ICD-11) to capture symptomatology caused by extreme, prolonged, or multiple forms of trauma.
Aims: The present systematic review and meta-analysis sought to assess the one-month prevalence of this disorder in the community setting.
Method: A systematic search was conducted in four databases (Google Scholar, PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus) where relevant studies were subjected to explicit eligibility criteria, resulting in 16 included studies and 22 effect sizes. Study characteristics were tabulated, their methodological quality was assessed and findings were synthesized using a random-effects meta-analysis.
Results: Findings indicated overall that C-PTSD has a moderate prevalence in this population (PREV = 8.59%, 95% CI [5.84%, 11.34%], I2 = 98.6%). Moderator analyses indicated that prevalence differed significantly by continent, scale, sample type, country, and language.
Conclusions: The results of this study strongly indicate that 9 out of 100 people in the community are at risk for C-PTSD, making it a primary focus of attention and the public policies that it represents. Future research should further explore the prevalence of C-PTSD among specific population groups who experienced specific episodes of trauma.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Social Psychiatry, established in 1954, is a leading publication dedicated to the field of social psychiatry. It serves as a platform for the exchange of research findings and discussions on the influence of social, environmental, and cultural factors on mental health and well-being. The journal is particularly relevant to psychiatrists and multidisciplinary professionals globally who are interested in understanding the broader context of psychiatric disorders and their impact on individuals and communities.
Social psychiatry, as a discipline, focuses on the origins and outcomes of mental health issues within a social framework, recognizing the interplay between societal structures and individual mental health. The journal draws connections with related fields such as social anthropology, cultural psychiatry, and sociology, and is influenced by the latest developments in these areas.
The journal also places a special emphasis on fast-track publication for brief communications, ensuring that timely and significant research can be disseminated quickly. Additionally, it strives to reflect its international readership by publishing state-of-the-art reviews from various regions around the world, showcasing the diverse practices and perspectives within the psychiatric disciplines. This approach not only contributes to the scientific understanding of social psychiatry but also supports the global exchange of knowledge and best practices in mental health care.
