Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to determine the PREVALENCE of full and partial POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (PTSD) and their symptoms in a sample of city survivers of Bam EARTHQUAKE. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 786 people in randomized selective households 8 months after the EARTHQUAKE. Subjects were evaluated by CIDI (Composite International Diagnostic Interview). Results: 98 percent of the respondent was exposed to one or more traumatic life experiences. The most severe traumatic experience in 87.2 percent of the subjects was witnessing others injuries or corpses. The lifetime PREVALENCE of PTSD was 59.1 percent. Partial PTSD (having some PTSD symptoms without fulfilling the minimum criteria) and current PTSD had PREVALENCEs egnal to 20.2 and 51.9 percent respectively. There was not a meaningful difference between men and women. "Numbness and avoidance" was the least PREVALENCE and "reexperience" the most prevalent symptom group. Conclusion: PTSD is highly prevalent in Bam EARTHQUAKE survivors that warrant implementing community-based interventions for the disturbed population.
