P97: Comparison of Post-Traumatic Syndrome Disorder (PTSD) in War-Affected and Fire-Damaged People
Authors
Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to compare symptoms of PTSD among war affected people and employees in the fire station. Totally, 60 people affected by war and 60 fire workers were selected using simple random sampling. By completing PCL inventory, samples of PTSD were characterized. Data was analysed through SPSS software by independent t-test. As the results showed, severity of PTSD symptoms among fire workers was more than that of war affected people. Beside physical problems, PTSD generally creates more psychological problems for war-affected people and particularly fire workers.
