Path analysis was used to examine the antecedents of posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptoms in Tamil asylum-seekers, refugees, and immigrants in Australia. The Harvard Trauma Questionnaire and a postmigration living difficulties questionnaire were completed by 62 asylum-seekers, 30 refugees, and 104 immigrants who responded to a mail-out. Demographic characteristics, residency status, and measures of trauma and postmigration stress were fitted to a structural model in PTS symptoms. Premigration trauma exposure accounted for 20% of the variance of PTS symptoms. Postmigration stress contributed 14% of the variance. Although limited by sampling constraints and retrospective measurement, the study supports the notion that both traumatic and posttraumatic events contribute to the expression of PTS symptoms.
路径分析用于研究澳大利亚的泰米尔寻求庇护者、难民和移民创伤后应激（PTS）症状的成因。62名寻求庇护者、30名难民和104名移民回复了邮寄问卷，完成了哈佛创伤问卷和移民后生活困难问卷。人口统计学特征、居住身份以及创伤和移民后应激的测量结果被纳入PTS症状的结构模型。迁移前的创伤暴露占PTS症状变异的20%。移民后应激占变异的14%。尽管受到抽样限制和回顾性测量的局限，但该研究支持创伤性事件和创伤后事件均会导致PTS症状表现的观点。
