A descriptive study was carried out in pregnant women who were affected by the 1998 bomb blast in Nairobi, Kenya, and their babies who were in utero at the time of the blast. The psychological effects of the event on the exposed women were severe. After three years, the average score on the Impact of Event Scale - Revised was still higher than 29 for the three subscales combined, suggesting that most of the study group was still suffering from clinical post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The scores on all Childhood Personality Scale (CPS) subscales were significantly higher in children of the study group than in controls. The mothers' PTSD symptom levels at one month after the blast correlated with the children's CPS profiles.
对在肯尼亚内罗毕 1998 年爆炸事件中受到影响的孕妇及其胎儿进行了描述性研究。爆炸事件对暴露于其中的女性造成了严重的心理影响。三年后,修订后的事件影响量表的平均得分仍高于三个分量表总和的 29 分,表明研究组的大多数人仍患有临床创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)。研究组儿童的所有儿童人格量表(CPS)分量表的得分明显高于对照组。爆炸发生一个月后,母亲的 PTSD 症状水平与儿童的 CPS 特征相关。
