Abstract

To assess the level of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms among Bosnian war refugees, a consecutive cohort of 206 Bosnian refugees, arriving in Sweden in 1993, was screened for PTSD using a modified version of the self-report instrument PTSS-10. A comparison group of 387 visitors to seven Swedish health centers was recruited. Prevalence of possible PTSD, using two estimates, was 18 to 33% among the Bosnian refugees, and .3 to 1% in the comparison group. The PTSS-10 showed high internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's alpha = .92) and stability (test-retest reliability r = .89). Thus, Bosnian war refugees showed high levels of PTSD symptoms compared to a nonrefugee comparison group.

摘要

为评估波斯尼亚战争难民的创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状水平，对1993年抵达瑞典的206名波斯尼亚难民连续队列使用自陈式工具PTSS - 10的修改版进行PTSD筛查。招募了一个由387名前往瑞典七个健康中心就诊的人员组成的对照组。采用两种评估方法，波斯尼亚难民中可能患PTSD的比例为18%至33%，而对照组为0.3%至1%。PTSS - 10显示出较高的内部一致性信度（克朗巴赫α系数 = 0.92）和稳定性（重测信度r = 0.89）。因此，与非难民对照组相比，波斯尼亚战争难民表现出较高水平的PTSD症状。
