Since 1999, almost 16,000 Kosovar refugees have entered the United States. Few studies have investigated trauma and symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in this population. We conducted a caseworker-assisted survey of 129 Kosovar refugees (aged 18 to 79 years, 55% male). Of these individuals, 78 (60.5%) showed the likely presence of PTSD. The mean number of war-related traumatic events reported was 15 (SD = 4.5). Higher PTSD scores were associated with more traumatic events and female gender.
自1999年以来，近1.6万名科索沃难民进入美国。很少有研究调查这一人群的创伤及创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状。我们对129名科索沃难民（年龄在18至79岁之间，55%为男性）进行了一项由个案工作者协助的调查。在这些个体中，78人（60.5%）显示可能患有创伤后应激障碍。报告的与战争相关的创伤事件平均数量为15起（标准差=4.5）。创伤后应激障碍得分较高与更多的创伤事件及女性性别有关。
