Abstract

Aims: The POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDERs sometimes continue years after WARs. The aim of the study was to estimate the PREVALENCE of POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDERs in the VETERANS 26 years after the end of Iran-Iraq WAR. Instrument & Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 341 Iranian VETERANS were studied in 2014. The subjects were selected via cluster random sampling method. Data was collected using POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER checklist military edition (PCL-M-5), clinician-administered POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDERs scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5), and a demographic questionnaire. Data was analyzed through descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation coefficient and simultaneous regression analysis tests.Findings: 82 VETERANS (24.0%) were with POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDERs diagnostic criteria. In addition, their most prevalent POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDERs symptoms were arousal and reactivity, and negative changes in the cognition and mood, successively. Domographic parameters, including educational level (r=-0.191; p<0.01), age during military services (r=0.046; p<0.05), military services length (r=0.107; p<0.05), and injury and its severity (r=0.347; p<0.01) significantly correlated with POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDERs. In addition, 13% of the POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDERs variance were explained by the demographic parameters (p<0.01).Conclusion: 26 years after the end of Iran-Iraq WAR, many VETERANS are with POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDERs, and their most prevalent symptom is arousal and reactivity.
